Sita $19 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Sita, I am a current sophomore at George Washington University majoring in Human Services and Social Justice. I am offering babysitting services, senior care, and household assistance. I love children, I have been tutoring and watching toddlers and school aged children since I was 13. I loved crafting with them, reading to them, and can handle stressful situations with calmness and empathy. (If you have a teenager that needs help with college applications, I would love to help). I am CPR certified and extremely attentive to the needs of children because of my studies at school. I volunteer 120 hours per semester with children and seniors and am accustomed to such environments. I am super flexible and can work with you to fit the needs of your family! :)

Isabel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Isabel and I am currently a student at GW in DC, but I grew up in Princeton, NJ. I'm studying Nutrition and Exercise Science, and I plan to pursue a career in pediatric nursing. I have over a year of experience babysitting a 9 year old girl in the morning before school. I'm comfortable managing routines, communicating with parents, keeping things organized, and creating a safe and positive environment. I'm positive, responsible, and know when to take initiative while still keeping things fun and engaging. I really enjoy outdoors activities, the beach, and cooking. I'm happy to play games with the kids, do arts and crafts, and help with homework. I also have experience caring for dogs and am happy to help with household tasks as needed. I'd love to opportunity to work with your family!

Ella $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ella and I am currently a freshman on the pre-med track at Georgetown University. I am offering childcare and light housekeeping services. I’ve worked as a babysitter on and off for about a year now back home in Los Angeles, but am looking for a more long term part time job. I have the most experience with kids aged 3-11, however, would love the opportunity to work with any age group! I typically play outdoors with kids, read to them, help with homework, or take them to the park. I also love dogs and am comfortable around them. I do not have a car. I can also work as a household assistant as needed with cleaning and tidying up.

Sivahle $25 per hour for 1 child

Nice to meet you! After receiving my Bachelor's in Psychology with a specialization in Child Development, I moved back to the DC area to be closer to family. Between my undergrad work programs and my current job, I've been working in a teaching capacity with children for about 6 years now. Currently, I'm employed full time as a associate teacher at a DC preschool. This experience provides me with lots of benefits that I then get to share with my babysitting families! Some of these benefits include child CPR certification, easy meal times (I've supported all sorts of kids with different dietary and motor needs), comfort with managing siblings, and a willingness to embrace the toughest bedtime routines. I look forward to working with your family!

Claire $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Claire Guthrie. I am currently living in Idaho, but will be moving to D.C. in June for school. I am going to school for early childhood development, I will be doing classes online and will be attending part time. I am looking for an amazing family to work for as a nanny. I have about 1 1/2 years of experience at a daycare. I worked mostly with toddlers and infants but got a ton of experience with school age children as well. I currently work as a nanny for 18 month old twin boys. I’ve been working with them for 14 months, and enjoyed every moment of it. It breaks my heart to leave, but I need to further my career and get an education. I need to work full time to keep up with living expenses and ask for at least $25 an hour considering I am living by myself, and going to school as well. I am also open to date nights and other babysitting jobs as well! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Thanks, Claire
