Hello! My name is Nia and I have 15 years babysitting newborns, infants and children. I have professional experience at a daycare for ages 1-4 as well as in my 6th year working through a private babysitting company. I also have experience coaching 6 year old basketball I am also comfortable watching and helping the elderly with basic tasks such as cooking, cleaning around the house and also just providing company. I can keep them quite entertained with my stories. I used to work at the local animal shelter and prior to that was a successful dog walker so I am very comfortable with all animals. I’m very energetic and nurturing so I do really well entertaining my 3 year old perfect nephew when I babysit him weekly.

Hello! If you’re looking for someone who is fun, energetic, loves to laugh, and will make sure your child is cared for in a positive way-you’ve found the right sitter! I promise to make your child’s days filled with memories to cherish. I provide activities like board games, arts & crafts, story times, and more. I have 8+ years of experience, reliable safe transportation, and can promise you your child is in the best care when they are under my care as a sitter. Also very comfortable with pets, I have 3 cats of my own. I look forward to meeting your little!
“Courtney took care of my two children for two full weeks while I was away on vacation, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about her. Leaving your kids for that long is never easy, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, she was attentive, patient, and incredibly organized. She kept the kids on their routines, made sure they were engaged and happy, and handled everything with such calm confidence. I always felt informed and reassured, she communicated regularly, sent updates, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my kids felt safe, supported, and loved. When I came home, my children were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and thriving. That says everything. Courtney is responsible, trustworthy, warm, and incredibly capable. Any family would be lucky to have her. I would 100% trust her again without hesitation, she is truly exceptional.”

Hi, my name is Madison and I just graduated from American University. I was in Girl Scouts for all of my K-12 education, volunteered at a preschool, and also worked at a ballet studio for younger kids so I'm very comfortable working with children. I also worked as a tutor/mentor at a middle school in D.C. I also love animals. I have a dog of my own and this past summer I also helped nurse kittens at Best Friends Animal Society!

Alexis is so great with our son, and he really looks forward to their time together. Leaving him with her is never a concern, and something our whole family looks forward to.
