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!

Hi, my name is Taylor. I have extensive experience in child care and working with children of different ages. I’ve grown up being the go-to family babysitter, which helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a natural ability to care for kids. In addition to that, I’ve completed internships working directly with children and have professional experience working at a daycare. These experiences have strengthened my skills in creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children while understanding their individual needs.

years
experience
I’m an outgoing and responsible senior at American University. Originally from Cincinnati (and keeping midwestern friendliness alive), I currently live in Bethesda, and am very familiar with the area, as well as NW DC. My experience includes 6 months interning as soccer coach and ESOL tutor in Madrid, Spain, where I worked with both small and large groups aged from 3-9 years old. I have also worked as a camp counselor and have experience supervising and facilitating kids parties. I have a passion for learning and creating— so arts and crafts are a specialty of mine. During the warmer months, I frequent local parks and enjoy hiking and exploring new areas.
