CHILDCARE

Since I began babysitting in 2007, I have learned that childcare is one of the rare jobs that gets me excited about work every day. I love being invited into kids' imaginary play worlds and am happy to spend hours building lego houses or reading picture books.

Prior to graduate school, I worked as a nanny for a sweet baby from age 3 to 12 months and got to experience so many of his exciting benchmarks -- from crawling to teething to walking. Before that, I was a nanny for two amazing families with kindergarteners, preschoolers, and infants who hired me to provide after-school activities like nature walks, arts and crafts, early math and reading games, baking projects, and homework help. It is a gift to have played a role in helping my kids grow and learn during those years.

I am now seeking childcare work in the Germantown / Mount Airy areas! The best fit will be a family with strong social justice values who has consistent, well-defined COVID boundaries (including vaccinated adults when possible) and who prefers spending time off-screen. In addition to childcare, I can offer light housework and enjoy helping out with grocery shopping and cooking as needed. Interested? Contact me!

PAY RATE

As every family's childcare needs are unique, I will collaborate with you to determine a fair rate for your situation. My starting pay is $25 / hour, and is adjusted based on the number of children and the degree of preparation needed. In order to reduce exposure between families during the pandemic, I am currently accepting clients who can offer a minimum of 10 hours per week.
