Hi! My name is Shannon and I’ve been in DC for 6 years. I offer babysitting services for families and at a local church nursery. I’ve always loved kids and have 3 nieces and 1 nephew. I love playing games with them and going to park whenever I am back home and spent a lot of time with them before moving to DC. I started babysitting in high school and also worked at a local gym in their Kid Zone. There, I’d create and lead crafts, organize games, and maintain and safe and fun environment. At the church nursery, I usually babysit kids under 2 years old. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages.

Hi, I'm Sonja! I'm an entrepreneur who recently left the tech world to build my own business, which I love, and I'm excited to get back into sitting while I grow it. My schedule is flexible, and I'm usually available evenings and weekends. I'm also CPR certified. I've been caring for kids for most of my life. As the oldest child in my family, I started babysitting my younger siblings at 10, and by 12 I was known around the neighborhood as the most dependable sitter for date nights and errands. I kept babysitting through college, so I have more than 25 years of childcare experience. In college I also interned with the Children's Defense Fund Freedom Schools program, where I taught reading to a class of 12 kids ages 7 to 11. My mother owns a child care consulting company in Orlando, Florida, and she used to run a 24-hour daycare, so I grew up learning a lot from her about caring for children. I'm a former Division I lacrosse player and love being outside, so if you want your kids active, I'm all in for walks, park trips and outdoor play. On quieter nights, babysitting is my excuse to watch more Disney movies (Beauty & the Beast is my favorite!). I'm comfortable with cats and dogs and happy to handle walks or feedings. I have my own car, so driving isn't a problem as long as there's parking near you. Feel free to message me with any questions or to book. I'd love to meet your family! :)
