Hi, I'm Shavonne. I have a Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development and have 10+ years babysitting experience. Besides babysitting I have various experiences working with children: I've worked as a youth tennis coach, taught Sunday school for 5-7 year olds, was a respite care worker for a child with special needs, interned in an infant classroom at a highly reputed lab school, spent almost 4 years teaching preschool and now I have been doing child development work for SF county for over 5 years. I have experience babysitting children ranging in age from 2 weeks to teenagers and families of up to 5 early childhood aged siblings at once. While babysitting, I enjoy engaging the children in arts and crafts activities; imaginative play; outings to parks and museums; and helping school aged children with homework. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, playing tennis, and spending time with friends and family.
Hi! My name is Monica, and I am a babysitter with several years of experience. I have cared for children between the ages of 1 and 10. My responsibilities have included walking children to and from school, playing games, reading together, and supporting evening routines, among other tasks. I have also worked with children in educational settings. During the academic year, I work full-time as a high school educator. I am currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy spending time with dogs, reading, and running. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish for families interested in supporting dual-language learning.
“Monica is lovely! The kids really enjoyed playing games with her, they went to bed on time, too :-) Happy to have Monica babysit again!”
Hello! My name is Kayla. Please read my profile before booking to see if I and my policies are a good fit for your family, as I am only accepting ad hoc care needs and not currently looking to add a scheduled position :) I am an elementary school teacher and love it! Before going back to school for elementary and special education, I was a nanny for a decade. I worked with a family of three for (newborn - middle school) for eight year and was responsible for the children’s full-day schedule during the week, planning outings, working on academic skills, etc. I worked for another family during the pandemic, educating twins through first and second grade. In addition to nannying, I have babysat for hundreds of families in the DMV with loads of experience from the newborn stage through the teenage years. I have done many date nights, full days, overnights and full weeks. I always plan and bring fun activities (games, crafts, science experiments, sensory play, baking, etc) based on the child’s stage of development and interests to ensure we have the best time. If applicable, I make time outside and/or outings a priority. About me: I teach upper elementary school and love it. My focuses are making learning fun and relevant to my students, social emotional learning, and growth mindset. Outside of work I enjoy experiencing all life has to offer and fill my days as much as possible: local sporting events, museums, hiking, camping, golfing, tennis/pickleball, board games and puzzles, historical and cultural activites, cooking/baking things from scratch, and reading/book clubs. Each year I strive to accomplish 1,000 hours outside, 60 games played and 70 books read. I am married (no children) and spend a lot time with my nieces and nephews. Policy: -Four hour minimum. -Hours booked will be charged. -For overnights totaling more than 25 hours, I charge sleeping hours at 1/2 rate. -First cancellation without charge; 50% of booking fee for each cancellation thereafter.
“Amazing sitter! She was prompt, communicative, very engaging with our daughter, brought her own fun activities, got them to bed expertly, and wrote down a summary of the evening for us. Wish she lived in NYC!!!”
Hi! I work for DC Public Library and have been working in libraries for over 7 years now and I love it! I'm happy to get back to sitting occasionally to spend time engaging in fun activities like park visits, imaginative play, reading, kid-friendly cooking, and music/art! I don't have kids of my own so getting to spend time and care for others is a joy and privilege that I don't take for granted. I enjoy being a caregiver and sharing the present moment with kids. It feels less like work and more like an escape from my daily routine! My schedule varies as I work every other weekend and one full weekend a month (both Saturday and Sunday). I also have Thursday mornings off if anyone needs help then! I've worked with children aged 1 to 12 and infants (3 months+) locally since 2011. Before DC, I went abroad to au pair for a family with two young children (2 and 4 years old when I arrived). My duties have included: Meal prep/ Feeding (bottles, babyfood etc.) Light housekeeping Drop offs/ Pick ups Caring for sick toddlers and infants Medicine Adminstration Activities and Outings Supervision and chaperoning in various settings (home and away) Tutoring and homework help Help caring for pets (dogs and cats) My longest full-time childcare job was working abroad as an au pair. I stayed with the family for over a year and a half, working afternoons, all day Wednesday (off-school day), and the occasional evening, weekend, or vacation sitting.
“Aimee connected with our girls right away. She was on-time, and had great communication throughout. Would definitely recommend!”
