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! 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.
Lots of experience with dogs and cats (walking, feeding, administering medicine, playing, cleaning litter boxes, etc.). I love animals and am generally very flexible.
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!”

"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!"
