A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jeminah, I’m 14 years old, and I’m a responsible, friendly, and creative babysitter based in Washington DC. I truly enjoy caring for children and creating fun, safe, and engaging activities that help them learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or reading stories, I always bring a positive and playful attitude.

I’m available to babysit:
• Weekdays after 5:00 PM
• Weekends (flexible hours)

Even though I’m young, families trust me because I’m dependable, respectful, and genuinely enjoy being around kids. I also offer basic tutoring support, especially in reading and math, to help younger children stay on track with schoolwork.

If you’re looking for a babysitter who’s caring, trustworthy, and fun — I’d love to be part of your family’s support system!

A little bit about me

Hello! I am an energetic and dependable caregiver with nearly two years of experience working with Alphabest Education, supporting children from preschool through fifth grade. I enjoy creating safe, engaging environments where children feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn while ensuring their daily routines and activities run smoothly.

Caregiving is also a big part of my life at home. I have helped my mother care for my two younger sisters since they were infants, which strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to respond to children’s individual needs.

As a Washington, DC–based college student, I offer a flexible part-time schedule and reliable transportation via Metro. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to bring my energy, reliability, and genuine passion for working with children to your family.
