Margaret $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Margo. I come from a large family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. I was raised helping care for my younger sibling and cousins, and I am now a very involved aunt to 14 nieces and nephews whom I am extremely close to. Caring for children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I have experience babysitting infants through 10-year-olds, including children with special needs, who I have a particular heart for. I am warm, fun, personable, and highly adaptable. I do well with different family dynamics and parenting styles, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love cooking, baking, and am able to drive kids around, house or pet sit. I take my role as a caretaker seriously and truly enjoy building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Booked by 4 families in Herndon, VA

Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer and I currently live in Vienna. I currently work full-time, but I love babysitting on the side! I have the option to work remotely from home so I am available to take babysitting jobs right after work and on weekends! I absolutely LOVE kids and I have a lot of experience babysitting kids of ALL ages (1-10). For reference, I used to babysit for a family with 3 kids (ages 1, 4, 6). I babysat them every week for 6 months. I would also watch their dog while I was there. I would cook for them, play with them, read to them, and go though their bedtime routine. We would also do fun stuff like have read books, sing songs, draw pictures, and play games! I also used to babysit a 8 month old boy every Monday, Wednesday, Friday every week for a year. I would be with him 8 hours a day. I would take him on stroller walks, change his diapers, put him to bed for naps, cook/feed him, etc. I would also watch and take care of their puppy on the job. Now that I have a full time job, I still love babysitting when I can! I am also very good with dogs and animals! I have a dog if my own, named Bella, and I have experience taking care of the family’s dogs while babysitting. Please do not hesitate to reach out!

“Jennifer was great! So kind and communicative, and our daughter took to her right away. Highly recommend! ”

Ella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ella a reliable, patient, and caring babysitter with years of hands-on experience. As the oldest sibling, I naturally stepped into a leadership role early on, helping with homework, meals, routines, and keeping the house running smoothly. I’ve also worked in elementary schools providing after-school support, supervising activities, organizing games, and helping students stay engaged and safe. I’m great with children of all ages and bring a calm, positive energy to every home. I can help with homework, creative play, bedtime routines, simple meal prep, and keeping kids entertained without screens. I’m also happy to help with light chores, such as tidying, dishes, laundry, and basic household organization — whatever makes your day a little easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet sitting and pet care, including feeding, walks, litter changes, and keeping your pets comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets, so your animals will be in safe hands too.

Serena $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Serena and I'm currently sophomore at George Mason University. I am offering child care and pet care. I enjoy being a helping hand to others thanks to the many parents in my family that needed assistance whether that be with their children or watching over their household. Thanks to this, I have experience with infants, toddlers, and kids. I am capable of driving to and from activities and cooking meals. Also (being a pet owner myself), I have experience taking care of dogs of various breeds. I have a high comfort level with dogs that shed and dogs that are on the larger side.
