Find a babysitter in Arlington, VA

Hi! My name is Paula, and I have nearly 8 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns and infants to school-aged children and teenagers. I especially love working with babies and young children. I have experience with early stimulation and age-appropriate activities that support motor, cognitive, and language development. I enjoy teaching through play, including letters, numbers, colors, books, sensory activities, English and Spanish. I also have experience with potty training. I currently work full-time with a wonderful family Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I have cared for their daughter since she was 5 months old, and she is now 2 years and 5 months old. I also occasionally care for another little girl whom I have known since she was 6 months old and is now 4. I will soon begin a bachelor’s degree related to Early Childhood Development, a field that connects directly with what I love doing. I’m looking for additional babysitting opportunities outside my regular work hours, especially evenings and weekends. I’m open to occasional or consistent care if it’s a good fit for both of us. I’m responsible, patient, caring, reliable, and also a big animal lover, especially dogs. Please feel free to message me!

Hello! I am fun, caring, and dependable and have 3+ years of experience working with preschool and elementary age children in different childcare, after-school, and classroom settings.

I strive to ensure all kids feel safe, loved, and supported as they learn and grow. I am happy to help with homework, chores, and other housekeeping tasks. I am patient, empathetic, and creative, and will go the extra mile to ensure your children are well cared for!

Hi, I’m Lauren-Nicole 😊👋🏽 Engaging, easygoing sitter/nanny with 8+ years of childcare experience through teaching, summer camps, caregiving/sitting, and nannying! Current high school educator (Full time) with evening and weekend availability. I have my own vehicle to get to/from shifts. In my free time I enjoy working out (gym/sports), music (singing), practicing on duolingo (currently learning Spanish) and exploring new places. I live in the DC area with my fur baby. I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor, so I’m comfy with energetic children, and I have the creativity to keep them engaged! This role was pretty active so I am up for any high energy activities (sports, obstacle courses, swimming, outdoor activities, etc.), in addition to low energy, quiet time activities (reading, studying, relaxed playing/toys). Having worked as a preschool teaching assistant and gym facility caregiver, I’ve facilitated academic activities, games, nap time and lunch/snack times for large groups of children. I currently teach and tutor students, so I’m comfy offering homework help. I’ve worked with children between the ages of 1 and 17 years old (Minimal infant care experience). I look forward to working with your family! :) Experience: HS teaching, regular nannying, occasional sitting, tutoring, preschool assistant, summer camp counselor, stay and play caregiver, youth mentor Current & Past childcare employers: Maryland public schools, YMCA, University of Maryland-Baltimore County, TIC camp, Maryland-based church

Hi everyone! My name is Lizzi and I am currently a high school counselor. I have always loved working with children and even though I am working at a high school now, elementary age is where most of my experience is.

I look forward to meeting you soon :) Summer Availability: Date nights during the week/weekend.

*I will be at Salisbury University till December 19th, I’m not currently able to take any DMV bookings! Thank you! I look forward to helping out when I’m back* Hi families! I’m Edina, but I go by Edie! I’m in the process of becoming a special education teacher, and working with children is truly my passion. I’m very active, fun, and love taking kids to the playground, doing pretend play, reading, and other engaging activities. I also love creating spaces where kids feel seen, heard, safe, and encouraged to be themselves. I have handled many routines such as bedtime, evenings and afternoons. I’m currently studying Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education at Salisbury University. I’m trained in advanced childcare and certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. I don’t drive but I’m super comfortable taking Metro, MetroBus and Lyft. I’ve worked with a few wonderful families on UrbanSitter and would love to connect with more this season for date nights, evenings, and afternoons. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and fun sitter, feel free to reach out or send me a booking request!
