Find a babysitter in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi there! My name is Ebony, and I'm a newsletter editor/freelance writer. In my spare time, you'll find me at a museum or and reading in a park, weather permitting. I've worked with kids for over 10 years as a camp counselor, reading tutor, babysitter, and ESOL instructor. As a former improv performer, I'm always up for playing make-believe, singing and dancing! My experience is mostly with toddlers and school-aged children, but I have worked with infants as well. I'm very comfortable with animals, and have actually pet sit all over the country (via Trusted Housesitters). My schedule varies, but I am typically available for weekend/date-night care. I'd love to build a bond with a family and become their regular sitter. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi! I'm Dee, and I've worked at Takoma Park Child Development Center for nearly 5 years. I have experience caring for children ages 2 through school age and love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can learn and thrive. I'm patient, dependable, and enjoy keeping children engaged with games, crafts, outdoor play, reading, and other age-appropriate activities. I look forward to providing reliable, loving care and making sure your little ones are happy, safe, and having fun!

I’m available for weekends and weekend overnight care too. Friday 7PM to past midnight. Saturday 8AM to past midnight. Sunday 8AM to 4PM Check availability on my calendar. From newborns to teens, I can provide focused, worry-free care so you can enjoy your time out. I provide transportation to sports practice, games, friends' homes, and extracurricular activities. I’m an accomplished cook who can cook according to your family's dietary requirements. I have: College degree My own transportation Current, excellent references Current clearances and background checks from: -FBI Criminal Background History -FBI Fingerprinting -DOD Army Clearance Clean driving record No drinking No smoking I love doing creative, age-appropriate activities with children. Reading, tummy time, music, and more for infants. The list of activities grows as the children grow.

I have been caring for children for over 8 years now! I moved to DC from Texas where I babysat, led a middle school girls youth group and volunteered in the children’s ministry of a local nonprofit. I enjoy working with kids because their curiosity and energy keeps me on my toes and reminds me to look for the wonder in life! I value building relationships with every child I babysit and learning about their interests. I will read books, bake, facilitate outdoor games or step back and supervise if your kiddos prefer independent play! I am also happy to take on dishes, laundry, and other house work. I have worked with children ranging from newborns through middle school, and am comfortable with any age. I can also handle multiple at a time; a favorite group of friends I babysat for had 4 kids under 6 with an 8-month old — we had so much fun together! Fun facts: My favorite books from my childhood were Little House on the Prairie and Series of Unfortunate Events, and my favorite board game was Monopoly. Some nitty-gritty: I am vaccinated for COVID & other routine illnesses and I have been background checked through Urban Sitter. I love pets but do not to work in homes with pit bulls.
