Jasmin 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

I am an energetic and hardworking recent graduate with 10 years of experience of increasing responsibility in childcare. I have recently relocated from the Bronx NYC area, back to the Columbia Heights DC area! I am able to respond efficiently and creatively to unusual or difficult situations and am highly adept at planning and supervising children while constructing a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. Here is a bit of background about me: I grew up in the heart of Washington DC and have worked as a local babysitter for upwards of four years. In addition to having an impressive record of parent and child satisfaction, I am also highly proficient in structuring playtime and lessons to fit the needs of children under my supervision. I can efficiently cook for and feed children, actively engage children in exciting activities ( i.e. park visits, Lego building tournaments, dancing games), and perform light housekeeping if needed. Professionally, I have worked as a middle school math tutor and mentor. I've also worked as a camp counselor at Sidwell Summer and was responsible for creating and supervising daily activities, engaging campers, managing behavior, and maintaining a welcoming an exciting atmosphere.

Jasmin brings a warm, calming presence to our home when she cares for our kids. She’s patient and very kind with the way she speaks and handles herself. My kids are not very close in age but Jasmin seems to always make sure to engage with them at their level. My 11 year old has mentioned she’s creative and fun while my 2 year old smiles and welcomes her when he sees her (which is a big deal for us). Overall it’s been a pleasure to work with Jasmin and we hope to continue to use her services going forward.

Nina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Nina! I graduated from Catholic University in 2024 and have spent the last couple of years working in government relations and Congress. I'm currently taking a break from the Hill and am excited to spend some of that time getting back to something I've always loved—babysitting! Over the years, I've worked with kids in lots of different settings. I've been a camp counselor, tutor, driver, and babysitter, and babysitting has always been my favorite childcare job. I love getting to know the kids I babysit and getting to be a part of their activities, whether that means helping with homework, driving to activities, making dinner, doing crafts, or just hanging out and having fun. Outside of work, I love cooking and baking and tackling fun DIY projects. I'm very comfortable driving in the city, have my own car, and love pets—especially dogs! I'm currently based in D.C. and have flexible availability for babysitting. I'd love to connect with families looking for a responsible, experienced, and engaged sitter!
