$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Mc Lean, VA

Hi there! My name is Ebony, and I'm a newsletter editor/freelance writer. In my spare time, you'll find me at a museum or and reading in a park, weather permitting. I've worked with kids for over 10 years as a camp counselor, reading tutor, babysitter, and ESOL instructor. As a former improv performer, I'm always up for playing make-believe, singing and dancing! My experience is mostly with toddlers and school-aged children, but I have worked with infants as well. I'm very comfortable with animals, and have actually pet sit all over the country (via Trusted Housesitters). My schedule varies, but I am typically available for weekend/date-night care. I'd love to build a bond with a family and become their regular sitter. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Ebony was very friendly and punctual We would definitely have her sit again

Mary $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is Mary Rose, and I’m a second year PhD student studying Clinical and Pediatric Psychology and living in Washington, DC. I’m available this summer for daytime and evening babysitting on select days. I love working with and caring for children of all ages! I'm new to UrbanSitter, but I have 10+ years of experience serving as an assistant teacher, swim instructor, and summer camp counselor for children 4 to 12 years old at multiple programs in the DMV. I enjoy leading arts and crafts project, science and reading activities, and field trips to the Zoo, museums, and the pool! In addition to being CPR-certified, I can cook meals and contribute to tasks such as laundry and household tidying. I also offer academic tutoring services in language arts, social studies, and writing for older children, and provide feedback and writing support for applications to college and graduate school.

Booked by 3 families in Mc Lean, VA

Hi there! I am a recent graduate living in DC with my 11-month-old kitten Callie. I work at an afterschool program for pre-K kids run by the Y and do lots of babysitting throughout the DMV! I have experience with babies, teens, and everything in between, including caring for multiples! I have a car, love pets, and can handle bedtime, bathtime, feeding, outings, household chores, and whatever else you can throw at me! In my free time, I love to read, do crafts, hike, and go to the gym. I'm volunteering with the Archives and Natural History Museum, and hope to work in children's programming at museums! I love encouraging curiosity and creative thought, and encouraging kids to develop and appreciate themselves and the wonderful world we live in :)

My kids had a great time with Molly!

"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!"
