Over the years, I have gained extensive experience nannying for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. My approach is always child-centered, focusing on creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. I am adept at planning enriching and educationally-minded activities that promote holistic development.

A little bit about me
In my 15 years of experience as a nanny and daycare worker before that, I have developed a reputation as a flexible and supremely reliable caregiver who loves taking the kids on daily adventures to parks, museums, music and story times. I like to say the kids don’t tire me out, I tire the kids out. I have experience working with children of all ages, helping introduce foods, encouraging early steps and potty training. I am able to work extended hours in the mornings and evenings as needed and available for babysitting on the weekends. I currently care for a 3-year-old girl I’ve been with since she was 1 and a 2-year-old boy in a share, as well as frequently watching their older siblings. I’m looking for the next strong partnership as my family of 2.5 years prepares to put their daughter in pre-K at the end of August. I’m available September 1 and typically work in Capitol Hill but am open to other nearby neighborhoods.

"Our wonderful, experienced, reliable nanny, Marie is available for the next lucky family starting September 1, as our daughter begins pre-K.
Marie has been with us more than two years, keeping our world turning day in and out. She's cared for our daughter since she was one, in a share with another little boy. She also watches our older son a couple hours a day and, at times, the other siblings in our share, managing up to five kids under seven and making it look easy.
Marie is an outside nanny, taking the kids to parks, museums, music and story times. They return happy, clean and fed and sleep well at night.
Marie potty-trained our daughter essentially single-handedly. She helps keep the house in order and is supremely reliable, always on time or early.
She is the ideal caregiver for a family with busy and unpredictable schedules. Due to our work demands, she sometimes arrives at 5:00 AM with very little notice and can always stay late. Our daughter lovingly asks for Marie on weekends."

A little bit about me
Hello! I am a college sophomore that attends American University in D.C., and I am really looking for a job! I love to babysit family friends, and just enjoy caring for kids in general, so I am hoping to continue that while I’m attending school. I’ve babysat quite a few kids, and am also certified with American Red Cross for any emergencies when it comes to babysitting. I have my license, I can cook, clean, and have experience with caring for kids (of course) of any age, no matter what the circumstances are.
I love doing activities with kids, such as going outside, bike riding, reading a book, etc.
I have a slight allergy to cats and dogs, but nothing that Benadryl can’t handle.

A little bit about me
I am a certified EMT-B and have over 3 years of experience preforming lifesaving and routine interventions for pediatric and adult patients. I helped raise my two siblings, one of which has ASD, and I have held a CPR certification since I was 13 years old. I have a BS in Biology and I begin medical school in July, 2026. I am very passionate about engaging with kids and keeping them active mentally and physically. I am always willing to learn and adapt to established routines and behaviors. I am happy to help with pets too! I am looking to work long days (up to 12 hours) with the potential of “call-ins” if there are any last-minute plans or emergencies. I am also happy to work overnight shifts if need be!
