Find an emergency babysitter in Arlington, VA

Hey Prospective Family I am Sergio; I am a Senior at George Mason University, currently studying to become an elementary teacher, and while I study would love the opportunity to look after your children. I am heading into my student teaching in the spring. I moved from Florida where I worked for a family for just over 3 years, as their Au Pair and then became their full time nanny. Have seen the kid I look after go from Elementary all the way to Middle school. My last job was working for a family during the week, looking after 2 girls aged 7 and 10. They are like a family to me and I still keep in contact them. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, from personal babysitting to working at my local church's children's ministry and daycare. Most recently, working for a family as an Au Pair for 3 years now, and then became their nanny full time while studying full time as well. I do homework, do school projects, and cook meals, as some of my duties. I don’t mind taking care of cats and walking a dog. I like working with kids because I've always thought working with children is essential; you are formulating minds, minds that will go on to do incredible things. In my spare time, I like to read. I go to a coffee shop and do some college work or read. I love going to museums, whether history or art. I love being in the kitchen; I like cooking and trying new recipes but prefer baking more. My skills include good with homework, excellent driving record, and caring.

Hi there! My name is Sophie, and I recently moved to D.C. from Louisiana after graduating from law school at LSU. I have been babysitting since high school and love working with children of all ages. You can count on me to be dependable, patient, and caring. In addition to childcare, I’m also available to help with errands, pet sitting (I’m not allergic to any animals), and elderly care. I cared for my grandmother for three years before she passed away from dementia, so I’m experienced, compassionate, and attentive to the needs of seniors. While I don’t currently have a car, I’m more than happy to walk or use public transportation to get wherever you need. I’d love the opportunity to help your family—whether that’s watching your kids, caring for your pets, or lending a hand with day-to-day tasks. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat!

Hello! My name is Mari and I am graduating from American University this May. I am 22 years old and am originally from York, PA but live full-time in D.C. I currently work for an environmental non-profit as an intern, and am looking for summer opportunities with families here in the DMV. I have an extensive history of service-oriented positions. I formally used a nannying app called QuadJobs in which I booked and have working relationships with multiple families (unfortunately the app has since shut down). I am the oldest sister in my household as well as having an older brother, so I am aware of sibling relationships and responsibility. I am diligent and committed, having worked for Starbucks for 3 years while being a full-time student with multiple other jobs and commitments. I also am an equestrian-- I have extensive history with horses and other animals, making me very capable of caring for any sort of family pet! I have my own car here, meaning I am flexible with travel as well as quick with transportation needs. After my graduation in May, I plan on staying within the District to apply to jobs in the environmental sector before attending graduate school after a year or so. Happy to meet you!

Hello! My name is Erin and I currently work in tech. I'm offering child care and open to additionally supporting household services. I am in my early thirties and have nearly twenty years of experience with childcare, from infant through pre-teen ages. I've cared for 1-4 children at a time. Though I don't have kids of my own, it has been the biggest pleasure of my life to watch my two young nieces grow up (3 yo and 1 yo), which is a main reason I'm looking to incorporate childcare into my regular schedules. In addition to playing with and looking after the kids, I have experience in preparing food and meals, helping with household chores like laundry and dishes, and assisting with homework. I have my own car and am comfortable driving kids to/from activities. I'm open to one-off childcare opportunities, but would also love the chance to make a good relationship with a family and become a regular sitter! I'm happy to phone or video call any interested families so that we can get to know one another beforehand!

I'm 18 years old and have been getting paid to babysit for 6 years now. I can clean, do laundry, assist in potty training, bedtime, and diaper change and any other tasks that may need assistance. I am currently certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid.
