Sara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sara and I recently finished my master’s at Georgetown University. I am offering childcare, animal, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old. Over the years, I have worked as a summer nanny, a date night sitter, nursery attendant and in after school tutoring centers, so I am very comfortable with all age ranges. My responsibilities have included after school care, tutoring, crafts, and bedtime routines. Additionally, I love animals and would be happy to work with families with cats or dogs.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Washington, DC

Hi! I’m Shannon and I've just finished my Master’s at the London School of Economics and recently moved back to Washington, D.C. I went to George Washington University for undergrad and have lived in D.C. for almost seven years, so I know the area well and love being back in the city. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic middle schoolers. I absolutely love spending time with kids and finding fun, creative things to do together (whether that’s setting up a scavenger hunt around the house, crafting, dancing, or planning activities that match their unique interests)! In the past, I’ve also tutored and taught ballet, so I’m always happy to help with homework or come up with ways to get everyone moving and having fun. I used to do school and activity pick-ups (though I don’t have a car in D.C. right now), and I’m more than happy to help out around the house by cooking dinner, tidying up, or running light errands. I’m a big animal lover too! I have lots of experience with dogs and some with cats, and I even volunteered at an animal rescue for a few years. Families I’ve worked with in the past have described me as dependable, warm, and creative and I’d be happy to share references. My schedule is very flexible right now as I’m job-hunting, so I can easily adjust to what your family needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

“Shannon was a fantastic babysitter for my 9 year old daughter. They did crafts and art projects together and had a great time. My daughter can’t wait to see her again! Shannon was responsible, punctual, and a good communicator, and I definitely recommend her as a babysitter. She even was able to adjust the time at the last minute for me. ”

Ashyanna $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashyanna (Ah-shi-ah-na). I'm currently studying to become a Medical Assistant at LAYCCA! I have over 2 years of babysitting experience and an aspiration to someday work as a daycare provider or assistant aswell. I get along well with children, and enjoy it when parents are very specific with their child's care. I can travel to many locations in the DMV, but have limits for distance when it comes to non-occasional/part-time visits. I have a deep love for cats aswell, and housed some of my own in my youth. If you're looking for someone for your furry friend to get accustomed too, I'd love to oblige. Talk to me about your loved one's needs in detail. I pride myself on upholding the best possible care I can.

Sonya $23 per hour for 1 child

20 plus years experience working in the childcare industry. My passion is partnering with parents to help develop the next generation. I believe childhood should be about experiences that are not only fun but also developmental. I love crafts, being creative, reading and learning about different cultures. I have worked in preschools, learning centers, as a nanny, household manager, and even general manager of an indoor children's playground before COVID. I worked as a full time nanny during COVID. My post COVID experience has been as a Behavior Technician working with children between the ages of 2 - 11, and as a head start preschool teacher. I am dual CDA certified (infant/toddler & Preschool) and hold CPR/First Aid/AED certification.
