Find a babysitter in Washington, DC

Hi there, I’m Celia. I’m a doctorate student at GWU studying occupational therapy and hoping to one day do pediatric OT. I’m offering child care, senior care, and pet care services at this time. I have been babysitting since I turned 13, have experience in pediatric oncology, and recently was a lead preschool teacher for children ranging from 2-5 years old (within one classroom). I have worked with non verbal children, am CPR certified through the American Heart Association, and love getting creative with kids. I would oftentimes cover the infant room during early and extended care while working at the preschool. I also have around 80 hours of observations with senior care and experience working with the elderly population. I also love dogs and cats, but am allergic to cats and therefore am only accepting dog sitting gigs at this time. I have experience dog sitting 1 dog at a time anywhere from hours to 2 weeks, but would love to gain experience working with more than 1 dog.

Hi there! My name is Sophie, and I recently moved to D.C. from Louisiana after graduating from law school at LSU. I have been babysitting since high school and love working with children of all ages. You can count on me to be dependable, patient, and caring. In addition to childcare, I’m also available to help with errands, pet sitting (I’m not allergic to any animals), and elderly care. I cared for my grandmother for three years before she passed away from dementia, so I’m experienced, compassionate, and attentive to the needs of seniors. While I don’t currently have a car, I’m more than happy to walk or use public transportation to get wherever you need. I’d love the opportunity to help your family—whether that’s watching your kids, caring for your pets, or lending a hand with day-to-day tasks. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat!

Hello! My name is Erin and I currently work in tech. I'm offering child care and open to additionally supporting household services. I am in my early thirties and have nearly twenty years of experience with childcare, from infant through pre-teen ages. I've cared for 1-4 children at a time. Though I don't have kids of my own, it has been the biggest pleasure of my life to watch my two young nieces grow up (3 yo and 1 yo), which is a main reason I'm looking to incorporate childcare into my regular schedules. In addition to playing with and looking after the kids, I have experience in preparing food and meals, helping with household chores like laundry and dishes, and assisting with homework. I have my own car and am comfortable driving kids to/from activities. I'm open to one-off childcare opportunities, but would also love the chance to make a good relationship with a family and become a regular sitter! I'm happy to phone or video call any interested families so that we can get to know one another beforehand!

I'm 18 years old and have been getting paid to babysit for 6 years now. I can clean, do laundry, assist in potty training, bedtime, and diaper change and any other tasks that may need assistance. I am currently certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid.

Hi Parents, I'm a recent James Madison University graduate and moved to the Mount Pleasant area a few months ago. I currently work from home and am looking to take on some more part-time babysitting work. I'm available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 5 PM, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I babysit two kids who attend Rosemont and Bancroft, so I'm already familiar with the area's local schools and daycare centers! I have previous babysitting experience, a valid driver's license, and a clean driving record. I'm open to both one-time and recurring opportunities. Feel free to message me if you're looking for some extra help — I'd love to connect!
