I am a working professional with years of experience working with kids. From leading summer camps in NYC to professional experience at a daycare, I have done it all. Post-grad I was an English teacher in France for elementary students and Korea for middle school students. I am able to babysit in English, Korean, or French and am a fun-loving, energetic babysitter dedicated to providing quality care for your little ones!
“Monica was fantastic! ”
20 plus years experience working in the childcare industry. My passion is partnering with parents to help develop the next generation. I believe childhood should be about experiences that are not only fun but also developmental. I love crafts, being creative, reading and learning about different cultures. I have worked in preschools, learning centers, as a nanny, household manager, and even general manager of an indoor children's playground before COVID. I worked as a full time nanny during COVID. My post COVID experience has been as a Behavior Technician working with children between the ages of 2 - 11, and as a head start preschool teacher. I am dual CDA certified (infant/toddler & Preschool) and hold CPR/First Aid/AED certification.
Hi! My name’s Elizabeth and I recently graduated from AU. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and have experience with kids of all ages! I also have worked as a math tutor for middle and high school students. I love animals and am happy to work in a household with pets! I am able to work as a household assistant as well with grocery shopping, cleaning, and cooking.
“Elizabeth was incredibly warm and wonderful with our daughter. Would highly recommend her!”
Hi! My name is Danielle and I'm an elementary teacher assistant for Arlington Public Schools. I am offering child care during after school hours and weekends. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for children preschool-aged and older since middle school! I also have a few years of experience with infants and toddlers, and have worked in several childcare centers. I have my own car, am First Aid and CPR certified, and happy to share proof of my COVID vaccinations and background check clearance. Pricing is negotiable :)
“Dani was great with the kids and we will definitely work with her again and will recommend here to others.”
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!

"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!"
Catherine B., parent
