Booked by 4 families in Dunn Loring, VA

Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer and I currently live in Vienna. I currently work full-time, but I love babysitting on the side! I have the option to work remotely from home so I am available to take babysitting jobs right after work and on weekends! I absolutely LOVE kids and I have a lot of experience babysitting kids of ALL ages (1-10). For reference, I used to babysit for a family with 3 kids (ages 1, 4, 6). I babysat them every week for 6 months. I would also watch their dog while I was there. I would cook for them, play with them, read to them, and go though their bedtime routine. We would also do fun stuff like have dance parties, sing songs, draw pictures, and play games! Throughout my sophomore year of college would babysit and 8 month old boy every Monday, Wednesday, Friday every week of the school year. I would be with him 8 hours a day. I would take him on stroller walks, change his diapers, put him to bed for naps, cook/feed him, etc. I would also watch and take care of their puppy on the job. Now that I have a full time job, I still love babysitting when I can! I am also very good with dogs and animals! I have a dog if my own, named Bella, and I have experience taking care of the family’s dogs while babysitting. Please do not hesitate to reach out!

Jennifer was great! So kind and communicative, and our daughter took to her right away. Highly recommend!

Flaminia Falls Church
$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced, energetic and responsible young adult woman. I love kids and have experience both in house babysitting 2 young girls over 5 years, as well as working in a performance training facility with the youth group of ages 3-15 years old. I have loved teaching young girls and boys to move their bodies safely & efficiently and know how to keep them busy. I’ve worked with both disabled, hyperactive, and the overly shy kids. I believe my experience leading large groups (10+ kids) of youth can make me a unique babysitter. Currently, I am a full time personal trainer based in DC and a holistic nutrition & health coach for my own wellness brand.. and I just miss working with kids!! Looking for a part time/ occasional gig to fill in my free time and flexible schedule (I’m also new to the area, so happy to see different neighborhoods and meet nice families!)
