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 20 families in Merrifield, VA

Hi! My name is Carmen and I am a junior at Georgetown University studying business! I have been babysitting my moms friends kids since I was little and have always loved working with kids. I have experience volunteering at an orphanage where I visit once a week and work mostly with babies 0-3 years old. I also work part time at Georgetown with a family of 2 kids (3 months and 2 years old!) and a family with a 5 month-old girl. I have experience feeding, bathing, and keeping kids entertained! I like working with kids because through babysitting I get to relive my childhood through the eyes of the kids I care for. There is so much to learn from children and I love to teach them the alphabet, colors, animals while I learn from them. I also speak Spanish, so also love to teach little ones Spanish if it is okay with the parents! In my spare time, I like to journal, go on walks, try new coffee shops, and spend time with friends and family. My skills include bedtime routine, cooking, and tutoring. I am open to working with families with pets!

“Carmen was great with my baby, attentive and engaging with her all day. Also very easy to communicate with and punctual!”

Hello families. My name is Anne and I'm an experienced bilingual babysitter who enjoys working with children of any age. Kids bring so much joy to the world and it creates happiness to see them grow and to nurture their creativity. I always try to adjust to children's unique needs. As a former physical therapist I'm comfortable caring for children with special needs. Favorite babysitting activities include arts and crafts, reading, being outdoors, meal prep and clean up, bath time and bed time routines. I like to cook and do not mind doing household chores. I do have a drivers license. If you think I'm a good match I would be happy to hear from you.

“Anne was great and we would highly recommend her. She cared after our 10 months old during our evening date, she was extremely punctual, professional and calm. She was also very flexible. We trusted her fully. Thank you! Edit to add after 10+ bookings with her - Anne Kathrin is definitely the most reliable and caring babysitter in the area. She’s cared after our son many evenings from age 10 months to 19 months and she’s the best from infancy to toddlerhood! ”
