Find a last-minute babysitter in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi! I'm Kathleen and have had sitting gigs/volunteer gigs with kids on and off since high school. I have eight nieces and nephews, so I am super comfortable with kids & there's not much I haven't seen!

Hi, I'm Grace! I've been in DC for over 10 years and have always enjoyed doing occasional babysitting jobs while also working full-time. When I'm not working at a museum in DC where my work includes overseeing educational exhibits, field trips, and teacher content, I can be found walking my dog or visiting my nephews. I truly enjoy spending time with children and working with families over time to understand each personality and need. I have a range of experience from infant to school-aged as well as children with special needs. I'm here to help when you need the occasional day or night off.

Hi, my name is Kate! I have lived in Capitol Hill for the past four years, but I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri. I am offering child care, household services and can help with any pets. I love being a babysitter and have a lot of experience watching toddlers and kids from a young age, including my cousin, who was born when I was 13! I babysat him multiple times a week until I left for college (and after), as well as other kids in my neighborhood. My older sister and mom are both elementary school teachers (kindergarten and 1st grade!), so I also have a lot of fun experience helping out in their classrooms! I grew up with a dog and currently have 2 cats, so happy to also help out with pets where needed.

Hello! - My name is Jess and I'm a recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rochester Institute of Technology with a double major in American Sign Language Interpretation and Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies. I am offering nannying/babysitting services with included house care services as well as basic pet care. I love working with kids and have been babysitting/nannying for around seven years (since I was 15 years old). I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school age children. I have worked with a family with two children from age 18 months and 3 years old to now 7 and 9 years olds. My responsibilities included pick up/drop off from school/activities, tutoring/schooling, potty training, crafts, planning/organizing activities, managing schedules/play dates, meal prep, packing lunchboxes, light housekeeping, and swim instruction. I also worked at the YMCA as an 6 months - elementary age swim instructor as well as a lifeguard. I love arts & crafts will be sure to create lots with the children. Additionally, I love to bake and would be happy to make lots of fun (& healthy) goodies in the kitchen. I also will curate many indoor and outdoor activities to ensure lots of play time. (I love a good rainy day dance party!) Along with childcare, I also provide light housekeeping including picking up after the children, washing dishes, children’s laundry, and any other applicable household tasks. Due to my degree, I have fluency in ASL as well, so I am confident working with Deaf children and implementing ASL into care for hearing children. I am happy to work with families with pets as well as provide pet care for cats and small dogs. My services include feeding, walking, picking up after, enrichment, and play time. I am excited to meet you!
