Katherine $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kate and I am college student looking to obtain more babysitting jobs while home during the summer and winter breaks! I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience with a wide variety of ages, the youngest being 5 months. I have had the pleasure of working with multiple families when their children were babies and have continued watching them as toddlers and elementary schoolers. I am a reliable babysitter who is always on time and committed to giving my full attention to the children to ensure they are safe and happy. I love keeping the children engaged through games, art activities, playing outside, imaginative play, storytelling, and reading. I am also happy to help with homework or learning based activities. Finally, I am responsible and will always follow instructions regarding activities, meal times, and bedtime routines. I can also assist with housework including cleaning up toys, preparing meals, and doing dishes. Feel free to ask any questions!

Alexis $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Lexi ! I am a current Howard University student who loves kids. I am super spontaneous and creative. I have lived in the Silver Spring area all my life and have babysat a numerous amount of kids in my neighborhood. I’m good with pets too as I also walk dogs. I am personable and would love to get to know you and your family. I am great with all ages and can’t wait to give you a little bit of freedom. Leaving your kids with a stranger can be intimidating so feel free to contact me so we can set up a phone call/ FaceTime and if need be a in-person meeting. This really helps you get a feel for me and can help put you at easy. Can’t wait to meet you soon!

Booked by 2 families in Beltsville, MD

I'm a warm, dependable caregiver with 20+ years of experience from infants through adolescents, and a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health. I'm also CPR certified for children and adults through the American Red Cross, recently renewed. I believe great childcare starts with getting to know each child and respecting the way each family does things. I like to learn your routines and expectations so I can provide care that feels comfortable and consistent. During our time together, I keep things safe, calm, and fun-whether that means helping with homework, playing a game, getting outside, preparing a meal, or settling into bedtime. I've also worked as a teacher, tutor, and mentor, and I love helping children feel confident, curious, and capable. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to meet kids where they are, and I want parents to feel confident that their children are in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

“Sara has been watching our kids regularly since they were babies, and they still light up whenever they hear she's "coming over to play." She's incredibly reliable and always arrives early. She stays in close touch throughout each visit, sending updates and pictures of whatever fun they're having together, and she's always respectful of our kids' routines, asking thoughtful questions about our expectations for the day. Bedtime is where she has impressed us, she's masterfully guided our kids through bath time, stories, and getting settled for the night, calmly and consistently. Whenever we're in a logistical crunch and I'm stressed about how to make it all work, Sara is the first person I think to call. She's been steady and dependable for our family for years, and she's genuinely a joy to have around and one of the most thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable people I know. We'll keep booking with Sara, and I recommend her to any family looking for a sitter they can truly rely on.”
