Lucy 5 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC

My name is Lucy and I work part-time for the education department of a local theater! I'm passionate about children's education, and studied psychology and English at the College of William and Mary. I love kids and have been babysitting since I was 12! I'm also a teacher-- I'm teaching a weekly theater class for toddlers this winter, and various summer camps for three different age groups during the summer. I have over 10 years of experience working with children to develop confidence, imagination, and verbal skills. I'm happy to help with household chores. I also love animals, though I hope you won't hold it against me that I'm a cat person!

“Lucy was an amazing sitter, both kind and willing to jump into whatever three-year-old nonsense came to mind. My daughter truly enjoyed having her visit -- high praise!”

Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hello! My name is Jessica and I am a Midwest native who has happily made a home in Washington, DC for the last 14 years. I am a cat mom to a 4 year old cat Winnie and have grown up with family dogs since the age of 6. I am the youngest of three daughters and am a very lucky aunt to four nieces from the ages of 3-8 years old. I am very fortunate to be close with my family and to get to spend time caring and shaping my nieces. Outside of family, I have experience as a babysitter during all four years of my college experience at American University, ranging from afterschool care for 2+ kids to babysitting during evenings or weekends, assisting with meals, playtime, and homework. In addition, I often pet sit for friends and neighbors, helping with play time, getting in walks, feeding, and litter box cleaning. I would love to connect and see if I am the right fit to care for your kids or animals!

“Jessica was delightful! She arrived early, was pleasant and professional, and jumped right in with the kids. Definitely would recommend her!”

Booked by 2 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

⸻ Hi! I just graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. I’ve been babysitting on and off for the past seven years and love working with kids of all ages (and pets too!). I’m easygoing, funny, and always up for a good game, craft, or kitchen adventure. Cooking’s one of my favorite hobbies, and I can’t wait to explore DC! I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and positive environment wherever I go!

“I used Genevieve for household services. We were away from our house for 3 weeks and needed her to come twice a week to house sit - taking care of plants, bringing in the mail, etc. She followed the directions to a tee and even went above and beyond to think ahead such as accounting for extreme weather conditions. Genevieve had great communication throughout the entire duration. She was very dependable and someone you can definitely trust. I had a great experience overall and highly recommend her.”

Booked by 6 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi all! I’m Katherine and I am looking for occasional caregiving opportunities in the evenings and on weekends. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years. I studied psychology at Villanova and have several years of experience working with children ages 0-12, including babysitting, lifeguarding and swim instruction, and early childhood research. While working on my masters, I worked for several families with multiple children of varying ages. My responsibilities included driving children to and from activities, meal preparation, swim supervision, and age-appropriate play activities.

“Katherine was wonderful to work with!”

Booked by 3 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi, I’m excited to meet your family! 😊 Hi! I’m Chinenye, Chichi for short. I’m a nursing student who genuinely enjoys caring for and spending time with children. I’m looking to take on occasional babysitting opportunities that fit around my school schedule. I’m experienced in being patient and attentive to each child’s needs, prepping simple meals, engaging in playtime, and making sure kids stay safe and comfortable while their parents are away. I also enjoy reading, crafting, helping with homework, going outside, or just having a calm time with them and I'm happy to follow each family's routines and preferences as I know every child and family is different. I’m dependable, caring, and easy to communicate with, and will always do my best to make sure you feel comfortable and confident while your child is in my care. Currently, I’m mainly interested in occasional babysitting, date nights, evenings, or part-time opportunities as this works well with my school schedule. I’d love the chance to meet your family and become a trusted person you can call when you need an extra helping hand!

“Chichi took great care of my kids, 5 and 9. My daughter enjoyed playing games and doing her doll's hair together. Chichi helped them with dinner, showers, and the bedtime routine. I would definitely hire her again.”
