Hi - My name is Lillie Kate, and I'm currently in grad school at GW. I am offering child care and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 12 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
Im a student at American University who is great with kids and dogs. Im always ready to play and have fun with kids of all ages. Ive volunteered at kids bible camps as well as youth programs from ages 2 - 13. Ive also volunteered at a dog rescue for around 5 years and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes.
Hi families! I’m a First Grade teacher offering occasional date night babysitting and weekend overnight care. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including time in a childcare center with 2–4 year olds and private babysitting for infants and toddlers. I also hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. I’m reliable, patient, and love creating a safe and fun environment for kids of all ages. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, feel free to message me for more details or to check availability!
Hi - My name is Grace. I'm 23 years old and graduated from Hillsdale College this past May. I work a full time job during the week, so I am looking for part-time and occasional jobs after 5:00 p.m. during the week and during the day on the weekends. I have experience working with kids coaching beginner and competitive gymnastics for ages 4-12. I also have experience volunteering at my college's preschool. I can plan educational or fun activities for the child if desired. I am not allergic to any pets.
Hi, my name is Kate! I have lived in Capitol Hill for the past four years, but I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri. I am offering child care, household services and can help with any pets. I love being a babysitter and have a lot of experience watching toddlers and kids from a young age, including my cousin, who was born when I was 13! I babysat him multiple times a week until I left for college (and after), as well as other kids in my neighborhood. My older sister and mom are both elementary school teachers (kindergarten and 1st grade!), so I also have a lot of fun experience helping out in their classrooms! I grew up with a dog and currently have 2 cats, so happy to also help out with pets where needed.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
"Hannah was awesome. Went above & beyond to help me with a last minute emergency. She was really sweet & great with my 16mo old. Highly recommend!!"
