Find an emergency babysitter in Arlington, VA

Hi, parents! I have extensive caregiving experience which includes substitute teaching at the pre-K level and caring for children from infants to tweens. Since the pandemic I have regularly babysat and have cared for the children of more than 200 families. When babysitting I like playtime both indoor and at playgrounds as well as fun, age-appropriate activities. For toddlers I enjoy helping them reach their milestones through reading, play, talking, tummy time, etc. With older children I do arts and crafts and science experiments. I try to limit screen time as much as possible and typically avoid it all together. My goal during caregiving is to keep your child safe and happy while having fun. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello! I’ve been providing childcare for a range of ages in the District for over 15 years. I am a social worker, artist, and love to be outside. I am high energy and find hanging out with children and entertaining them to be so much fun! I am very comfortable with animals as well, I love dogs! Currently I have some families I provide dog sitting for in their homes when they go on trips. I volunteer at an animal sanctuary farms and rescue shelters, comfortable with all types of animals. I use this app to connect with families to build good working relationships, and many families I currently work with have worked with me for many years. Unfortunately I cannot offer full time child care, but I am a great option for date nights or weekends.

Hi! My name is Carmen and I am a junior at Georgetown University studying business! I have been babysitting my moms friends kids since I was little and have always loved working with kids. I have experience volunteering at an orphanage where I visit once a week and work mostly with babies 0-3 years old. I also work part time at Georgetown with a family of 2 kids (3 months and 2 years old!) and a family with a 5 month-old girl. I have experience feeding, bathing, and keeping kids entertained! I like working with kids because through babysitting I get to relive my childhood through the eyes of the kids I care for. There is so much to learn from children and I love to teach them the alphabet, colors, animals while I learn from them. I also speak Spanish, so also love to teach little ones Spanish if it is okay with the parents! In my spare time, I like to journal, go on walks, try new coffee shops, and spend time with friends and family. My skills include bedtime routine, cooking, and tutoring. I am open to working with families with pets!
