8 years of babysitting experience has taught me patience and adaptability. I’ve also worked as a dog walker and cleaner, making me comfortable with household responsibilities.

Hi there! I am a recent graduate living in DC with my 11-month-old kitten Callie. I work at an afterschool program for pre-K kids run by the Y and do lots of babysitting throughout the DMV! I have experience with babies, teens, and everything in between, including caring for multiples! I have a car, love pets, and can handle bedtime, bathtime, feeding, outings, household chores, and whatever else you can throw at me! In my free time, I love to read, do crafts, hike, and go to the gym. I'm volunteering with the Archives and Natural History Museum, and hope to work in children's programming at museums! I love encouraging curiosity and creative thought, and encouraging kids to develop and appreciate themselves and the wonderful world we live in :)

My name is Dana and I’m a college freshman at Marist University! I’ve lived in Columbia heights my whole and know the area like the back of my hand. Nurturing young minds is truly my passion. With about four years of experience caring for children aged 0-4, I bring a friendly and enthusiastic approach to every interaction. I'm dedicated to fostering a positive environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and even some educational technology-based games. I am comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and am fluent in both English and Spanish. I have my babysitting certificate from the American Red Cross. I am also trained in CPR and First Aid. I would love to bring my energy and experience to your family and create happy memories for your children.
“Dana arrived right on time and was very personable. She was prepared, even bringing along some books for the kids to read. My son (2) was very upset when we left but she was able to calm him down quickly after we left. My daughter had a lot of fun and is already asking when she can come back!”

Tatiana 3 reviews

$25 per hour for 1 child
I have well over 5 years of experience working with youth of all ages as a babysitter, coach, assistant teacher, and through additional childcare roles during college. I have experience tutoring, helping with homework, light cleaning during services, cooking meals, caring for pets, and assisting seniors. I bring both personal and professional caregiving experience. I genuinely love children and believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where they feel supported and valued. I’m flexible, respectful of different parenting styles, adaptable to each family’s needs, and I always bring a positive, caring attitude. I also have experience caring for children with disabilities.
“Tati has been watching my daughter for almost two years now, almost once a month and I trust her completely with my busy 3-year-old. My daughter loves her, which means everything to me. She’s very attentive and careful, especially since my daughter has multiple allergies, and she treats my baby girl like her own. As a girl dad, it’s not easy leaving your child with just anyone but Tati has earned my trust. She’s reliable, honest, and dependable. On a scale of 1–5, I’d give her a 6.”
