Hi! My name is Ashyanna (Ah-shi-ah-na). I'm currently studying to become a Medical Assistant at LAYCCA! I have over 2 years of babysitting experience and an aspiration to someday work as a daycare provider or assistant aswell. I get along well with children, and enjoy it when parents are very specific with their child's care. I can travel to many locations in the DMV, but have limits for distance when it comes to non-occasional/part-time visits. I have a deep love for cats aswell, and housed some of my own in my youth. If you're looking for someone for your furry friend to get accustomed too, I'd love to oblige. Talk to me about your loved one's needs in detail. I pride myself on upholding the best possible care I can.
Hi! My name is Sara and I recently finished my master’s at Georgetown University. I am offering childcare, animal, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old. Over the years, I have worked as a summer nanny, a date night sitter, nursery attendant and in after school tutoring centers, so I am very comfortable with all age ranges. My responsibilities have included after school care, tutoring, crafts, and bedtime routines. Additionally, I love animals and would be happy to work with families with cats or dogs.
Hi! I’m Shannon and I've just finished my Master’s at the London School of Economics and recently moved back to Washington, D.C. I went to George Washington University for undergrad and have lived in D.C. for almost seven years, so I know the area well and love being back in the city. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic middle schoolers. I absolutely love spending time with kids and finding fun, creative things to do together (whether that’s setting up a scavenger hunt around the house, crafting, dancing, or planning activities that match their unique interests)! In the past, I’ve also tutored and taught ballet, so I’m always happy to help with homework or come up with ways to get everyone moving and having fun. I used to do school and activity pick-ups (though I don’t have a car in D.C. right now), and I’m more than happy to help out around the house by cooking dinner, tidying up, or running light errands. I’m a big animal lover too! I have lots of experience with dogs and some with cats, and I even volunteered at an animal rescue for a few years. Families I’ve worked with in the past have described me as dependable, warm, and creative and I’d be happy to share references. My schedule is very flexible right now as I’m job-hunting, so I can easily adjust to what your family needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!
“Shannon was a fantastic babysitter for my 9 year old daughter. They did crafts and art projects together and had a great time. My daughter can’t wait to see her again! Shannon was responsible, punctual, and a good communicator, and I definitely recommend her as a babysitter. She even was able to adjust the time at the last minute for me. ”
Hi! I'm Nina! I graduated from Catholic University in 2024 and have spent the last couple of years working in government relations and Congress. I'm currently taking a break from the Hill and am excited to spend some of that time getting back to something I've always loved—babysitting! Over the years, I've worked with kids in lots of different settings. I've been a camp counselor, tutor, driver, and babysitter, and babysitting has always been my favorite childcare job. I love getting to know the kids I babysit and getting to be a part of their activities, whether that means helping with homework, driving to activities, making dinner, doing crafts, or just hanging out and having fun. Outside of work, I love cooking and baking and tackling fun DIY projects. I'm very comfortable driving in the city, have my own car, and love pets—especially dogs! I'm currently based in D.C. and have flexible availability for babysitting. I'd love to connect with families looking for a responsible, experienced, and engaged sitter!
Hi! My name is Jamie. I am available for child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with children and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was in middle school. I have experience as a mom (to twins!), a babysitter, a camp counselor, and a teacher. I have been a caretaker for young people with significant physical limitations and learning disabilities. I am also available to help you manage day-to-day tasks, like cooking, cleaning, and running errands.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
