Hi, I’m Ruquyah , and I’ve been working in childcare for over 5 years. My journey began in the classroom at Northern Virginia Community College, where I studied Early Childhood Education and developed a strong foundation in child development, influenced by the theories of Erikson and Piaget. I was especially drawn to the immersion play model—believing that children learn best through natural curiosity and hands-on exploration.After two years of academic study, I gained hands-on experience in childcare centers and public schools, working with children from infancy through age 10. These experiences deepened my commitment to developmentally appropriate practices and strengthened my ability to connect with children of all ages.Currently, I’m continuing my education at Trinity Washington University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with the goal of becoming a labor and delivery nurse. I’m passionate about nurturing children’s growth and creating safe, engaging environments where they can thrive.I’m available during the week and on weekends—please feel free to reach out if you need babysitting help!

Hello! My name is Leah, and I am seeking part-time nannying opportunities in Washington DC, September through May! This summer I worked as a public programs educator at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, focusing on art education for children ages 0-10, and this fall I am starting my senior year of college at the George Washington University, majoring in art history. I am very child-centered in my approach to nannying — I aim to meet each child where they are and respond with care, intention, and specificity. I recognize the significance of a nanny’s role in children’s lives and work to provide consistent care, emotional support, and compassionate behavioral management that is attuned to each family’s values and culture. I have worked in many different childcare settings—as a babysitter, summer camp assistant director, preschool literacy educator, afterschool tutor, and dance teacher—and each job has uniquely informed my approach to working with children and families. I especially love engaging with children ages 2-8 through art projects and creative play activities that support literacy and open up space for self-expression and connection! I am looking for a family to consistently work for over the next academic year. If I sound like a good match for your family, please reach out, and I would love to connect further!I am trained in adult and pediatric first aid, CPR, AED, medication administration, and concussion intervention.

Hi, my name is Taylor. I have extensive experience in child care and working with children of different ages.

In addition to that, I’ve completed internships working directly with children and have professional experience working at a daycare.
