Hi! My name is Danielle and I'm an elementary teacher assistant for Arlington Public Schools. I am offering child care during after school hours and weekends. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for children preschool-aged and older since middle school! I also have a few years of experience with infants and toddlers, and have worked in several childcare centers. I have my own car, am First Aid and CPR certified, and happy to share proof of my COVID vaccinations and background check clearance. Pricing is negotiable :)
“Dani was great with the kids and we will definitely work with her again and will recommend here to others.”
Nina $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm Nina! I graduated from Catholic University in 2024 and have spent the last couple of years working in government relations and Congress. I'm currently taking a break from the Hill and am excited to spend some of that time getting back to something I've always loved—babysitting! Over the years, I've worked with kids in lots of different settings. I've been a camp counselor, tutor, driver, and babysitter, and babysitting has always been my favorite childcare job. I love getting to know the kids I babysit and getting to be a part of their activities, whether that means helping with homework, driving to activities, making dinner, doing crafts, or just hanging out and having fun. Outside of work, I love cooking and baking and tackling fun DIY projects. I'm very comfortable driving in the city, have my own car, and love pets—especially dogs! I'm currently based in D.C. and have flexible availability for babysitting. I'd love to connect with families looking for a responsible, experienced, and engaged sitter!
