Grace $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Grace! I've been in DC for over 10 years and have always enjoyed doing occasional babysitting jobs while also working full-time. When I'm not working at a museum in DC where my work includes overseeing educational exhibits, field trips, and teacher content, I can be found walking my dog or visiting my nephews. I truly enjoy spending time with children and working with families over time to understand each personality and need. I have a range of experience from infant to school-aged as well as children with special needs. I'm here to help when you need the occasional day or night off.

Booked by 1 family in Mount Rainier, MD

Hi! I’m Shannon and I've just finished my Master’s at the London School of Economics and recently moved back to Washington, D.C. I went to George Washington University for undergrad and have lived in D.C. for almost seven years, so I know the area well and love being back in the city. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic middle schoolers. I absolutely love spending time with kids and finding fun, creative things to do together (whether that’s setting up a scavenger hunt around the house, crafting, dancing, or planning activities that match their unique interests)! In the past, I’ve also tutored and taught ballet, so I’m always happy to help with homework or come up with ways to get everyone moving and having fun. I used to do school and activity pick-ups (though I don’t have a car in D.C. right now), and I’m more than happy to help out around the house by cooking dinner, tidying up, or running light errands. I’m a big animal lover too! I have lots of experience with dogs and some with cats, and I even volunteered at an animal rescue for a few years. Families I’ve worked with in the past have described me as dependable, warm, and creative and I’d be happy to share references. My schedule is very flexible right now as I’m job-hunting, so I can easily adjust to what your family needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Shannon was a fantastic babysitter for my 9 year old daughter. They did crafts and art projects together and had a great time. My daughter can’t wait to see her again! Shannon was responsible, punctual, and a good communicator, and I definitely recommend her as a babysitter. She even was able to adjust the time at the last minute for me.
