Hello! My name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I have a full time job as a financial analyst during the day and I’m usually free after work and occasionally on weekends. I love working with kids, being around children always puts a smile to my face. I have experience in babysitting for 5 years during college and a few years after. I’ve worked with kids in various ages from infant to teenagers. I love being outdoors and taking walks outside if the weather is nice, if not I have a variety of board games and movies to enjoy indoors.

Booked by 7 families in Washington, DC

Hi! I’m Cate. I’ve been babysitting since 2018, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’ve worked at a summer camp for 4-6 year olds since 2021, and in 2022 I became an Assistant Director there. Spending my summers helping little kids learn, play, and feel confident has been one of my favorite experiences! I’m also a huge animal person! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience with dog sitting and dog walking. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup or giving extra love to a calmer older dog, I’m comfortable with all types. I’m friendly, responsible, and easygoing, and I always try to create a safe, fun, and positive environment — whether I’m caring for kids or pets. I’d love to help your family however I can!

Booked by 3 families in Washington, DC

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!”
