Find a babysitter in Washington, DC

Hi! My name is Samantha and I am currently a student at Georgetown University studying Economics. I am looking for part-time childcare and household support opportunities and I have many years of experience caring for children of different ages through long-term babysitting roles I held throughout middle school and high school. For four years, I babysat for a family with two young children, beginning when their oldest daughter was a toddler and later helping care for her infant younger brother as he grew. I also spent three years caring for another wonderful family with two children, an energetic 8-year-old girl and her younger brother who was 5. Over the years, I became someone both families could consistently rely on to care for their children with patience, attentiveness, and genuine warmth. I truly love working with kids and always tried to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for them. Some of my favorite activities included outdoor play, walks to parks and playgrounds, arts and crafts, reading together, baking and cooking simple meals, movie nights, imaginative games, and helping with homework and bedtime routines. I also regularly prepared meals and snacks, helped keep shared spaces organized, and cared for family pets whenever needed. More than anything, I understand the amount of trust families place in someone caring for their children and I have always taken that responsibility very seriously. I pride myself on being dependable, nurturing, organized, and calm under pressure, and I genuinely value building strong relationships with both children and parents over time. I would love the opportunity to support your family however I can!

Hello! I recently graduated from Emory University. I currently work full time, but I would love to get back into babysitting on the weekends! I’ve been babysitting since I was 13, and I’ve looked after kids of all ages, from infants as young as 6 weeks to busy toddlers and energetic preschoolers. I’ve cared for up to three children at a time and gained valuable hands-on experience while working at a daycare while at university, where I supported children from 8 weeks to 4 years old. I’m patient, kind, and creative, and I love coming up with fun activities that help kids learn, explore, and feel safe. Whether I’m soothing a newborn, helping with routines, or engaging little ones in play and learning, I always strive to create a calm, positive environment. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, nurturing care for your children!

Hi! My name is Heaven! I’ve been living in the DC area for the past four years, but I’m originally from the West Coast! I have several years of experience caring for children, including regularly watching my four nieces and nephew. I also worked as a tutor while abroad during undergrad, supporting students from elementary through high school. I’m happy to help with homework, school projects, and tutoring, particularly in English, history, social studies, and languages. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and International Affairs and a Master’s degree in International Affairs, so I especially enjoy helping kids build confidence in reading, writing, and social studies. I’m also an animal lover! I have a dog of my own and regularly cat sit for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help however I can! :)

Hi. My name is Arailym and I babysit. I am available every weekday after 4 except for Tuesdays when I am available at 3:15/3:30 and all day on weekends. I am available during the evenings and am currently able to watch any age but am more experienced in infants and toddlers. I have taken courses and am looking at renewing my lifeguarding certification as I am a counselor at a camp during the summer. I am very energetic and love kids, hoping to pursue a career in education when I graduate high school. I am very flexible and am comfortable caring for many kids. The most I have cared for at once was four of five but am sure I can handle more if needed. I am able to adapt and accommodate. I do not have my own car. Looking forward to working with you all! I am 18 and so excited to meet you and your child!

Hi - My preferred name is Sam. I have been caring for children since I was 8, when my beautiful nieces and nephews were born. Growing up, I'd help my sister care for her little ones, and naturally, I loved being around them. As I got older, I started occasionally caring for kids in my neighborhood. I became a full-time nanny during the pandemic for a 5-year-old boy. And I am currently a part-time nanny for an 11-month-old girl and a 9-month-old boy whom I’ve been caring for since they were both 2 months! I am CPR certified. I love animals! I dog/cat-sit when folks are out of town. I'm always happy to help meal prep and help with things around the house. And if you'd like someone to teach your little one Spanish, I'm your girl! I have a calm and warm spirit. And I love tapping into my inner child when it comes to playing with the kids. My major hobbies include songwriting, drawing, and photography. I also love to play guitar, read, and spend time with my pup on my free time. I am currently interested in families looking for a part-time, occasional, date night, or overnight sitter.
