"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Erika $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Annandale, VA
Hi! I'm a recent Georgetown grad staying in DC for the summer. I love to read, play sports, and enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I have three years of experience babysitting for kids ages 1-13 in the DC area. I also worked for 2 years as a camp counselor for ages 5-14. I love spending time with all kinds of kids, whether they are energetic and outdoorsy or they prefer to hang inside and read or color. My availability is super flexible this summer, and I am free most evenings and mornings! I also grew up caring for my dog, Lego, who recently just passed away. I'm really missing having a dog in my life, so would also love any opportunity to dog sit or dog walk! I am very responsible and reliable and, again, have very flexible hours this summer.
Mikhail $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi, im Mike, your new babysitter! During the week, I work with kids, but I'm ready to bring that magic to your front doorstep. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, a night out, or even a last minute call-in, i'm your guy. Even when it seems like I might not have the time, my schedule is made to prioritize your home, your children, your pets, and most importantly: YOU. I usually work with kids aged 5-12, but I've never been known to shy away from working with new ages. So as long as you'd tell me everything I should know, I can get the job done. No kids, no problem! If you need a pet sitter, house sitter, or just a clean house then im still the right call to make. I'm experienced with pets, and know my way around a broom. So what are you waiting for? You need time for you, and I'm ready to give you peace of mind.

Sita $19 per hour for 1 child
Hey! My name is Sita, I am a current sophomore at George Washington University majoring in Human Services and Social Justice. I am offering babysitting services, senior care, and household assistance. I love children, I have been tutoring and watching toddlers and school aged children since I was 13. I loved crafting with them, reading to them, and can handle stressful situations with calmness and empathy. (If you have a teenager that needs help with college applications, I would love to help). I am CPR certified and extremely attentive to the needs of children because of my studies at school. I volunteer 120 hours per semester with children and seniors and am accustomed to such environments. I am super flexible and can work with you to fit the needs of your family! :)

I have experience taking care of animals, as I have an adorable cat and bunny! I am new to taking care of children, but excited for this opportunity. I want to make your life easier for you. Hoping to meet you soon :)
