Short-Term After-School Babysitter Needed For 2 Elementary Child...

Part Time • $17 – 22/hr • Starts 05/08 • Washington, DC
We are seeking a short-term sitter (6 weeks May 6th - June 23rd) for our two children - a 3rd grade daughter and a K son - who are very loving with a ton of energy. We are a busy two-parent working household and are looking for a part-time caring, energetic, responsible, and loving babysitter to pick them up from school everyday (we live next to the elementary school!), help get them to the various activities, and take care of them until dinner time. Ideally, the timing will be about 3 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Monday - Friday. We live one block from the Metro in Tenleytown/AU Park. We need someone who can drive (one of our cars, if necessary) and has a clean driving record, as driving with the children will be necessary to their activities. We are a non-smoking/pet-free home.

Babysitter Needed For 1 Child In Washington. - Our 7-year-old so...

Full Time • $17 – 24/hr • Starts 01/18 • Washington, DC
Our 7-year-old son has had a wonderful and dependable nanny for the past 2 years who has been available to pick him up at 330 p.m. from school in Potomac, MD (using our electric minivan), shuttle him to activities (music, sports, etc) and provided supplemental enrichment, and been with us for the occasional date night or weekend event - with light meal prep being a highly desirable bonus. Unfortunately, our nanny has a family emergency and will be leaving suddenly and indefinitely this week. We are looking for a licensed driver with dependable transportation and a kind and thoughtful disposition who can commute to our home in Upper NW DC for these duties, starting as early as tomorrow Jan 18. Usual hours will be 3-7p and flex to as many as 30 hrs/wk, paid on Friday weekly.

Flexible Hours- Nanny/babysitter Position In Washington D.C. Mus...

Part Time • $20 – 30/hr • Starts 02/01 • Washington, DC
Looking for a kind, patient, and dependable individual with infant care experience. Our daughter J will be 8 weeks old at the start of the job (Feb 1st.) She is a sweet baby who loves to listen to music and dance with her parents. You don't have to be too quiet around her, noise will put her right to sleep. True city baby. Job will be easiest for those who ride the metro in Washington D. C, although there is street parking. Parking permits will be provided by us. We have a lot of stairs, so unfortunately our apartment is not handicap accessible. We also have two cats. I encourage all animal lovers who don't mind a light workout to apply! Our hours are flexible and may vary and increase, but won't decrease from the listed 20 hours weekly. I work nights, so having a night owl around would be lovely. Weekends are optional as well.

Part Time • $17 – 22/hr • Starts 01/23 • Washington, DC
Seeking an experienced, energetic part-time babysitter for three active boys, ages 7 (twins) and 9. This position is for 2-3 nights a week from school pick up 3 to 7 p. m, except on Wednesdays, when the shift would end at 9 p.m. Applicant will need to be licensed to drive with a clear driving record. We will supply the vehicle. Schedule includes school pick up at 3 pm, take boys to classes and lessons as needed, oversee homework and prepare simple dinner for the boys. Our family also includes a 12-year-old son, but he bikes to and from school and generally takes care of himself, but will be present for dinner most nights. If you would like, additional compensation is available to fold and put away children's laundry and do some grocery shopping for the family. Position is in a smoke-free home with two cats. Occasionally, we may need care during days when the boys have off school from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, this is not a requirement.

Part Time • $20 – 25/hr • Starts 02/01 • Washington, DC
Hello! We are looking for someone to help out our family on an as-needed basis in NW DC. I have two children: my son is 2. 5 and my daughter is 14 months old. We are looking for flexible/occasional help in the mornings from 9am-12/1 p.m. as well as some Friday/Saturday date nights. Ideally, we would touch base over the weekend and decide if/when we'd need care that week and see if you're available. This would be great for a flexible childcare provider or someone looking to add on a few more hours a week. Responsibilities include: Playing with kids, prep/serving children meals (all very easy kid meals, think mac and cheese, pbj, etc.), clean up children's dishes after mealtime, tidying up playroom/toys, changing diapers, naptime/bedtime. Our ideal candidates will be fully vaccinated for COVID/flu, non-smoker, and CPR trained.

In search of a babysitter for my 7-month-old daughter on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. I hope to find someone who is caring, responsible, and able to keep her on a schedule. There is opportunity for additional hours and/or occasional date night/weekend hours watching both our 7-month-old and 2-year-old. Things to consider: We have a large, but friendly, dog! Due to our location in the city, having a car would make your commute much easier.

Recurring Thursday Nanny Needed For Infant - Our sweet and adora...

Part Time • $22 – 22/hr • Starts 02/02 • Washington, DC
Our sweet and adorable infant needs a nanny for Thursdays. She is curious and sweet and so much fun to be around! We are looking for someone extremely safety minded, agile, energetic, and talkative. We are hoping to find someone who can keep her safe and stimulated with enriching activities inside the home. She also has a vibrant and silly older brother (2. 5) who sometimes joins us on Thursdays when his grandma does not take him for the day. When he joins us, I don't work so we care-give both of them together for most of the day. Driving, having a college degree, and being a non-smoker are pluses. We are also looking for someone flexible enough to serve in a personal assistant, light housekeeping, and household management capacity on some days (we would take the little one(s) off your hands for that type of work). Some weekend babysitting would be great as well, here and there!

Part Time • $27 – 35/hr • Starts 01/19 • Washington, DC
Hi! I will have unexpected heart surgery next week, and I won't be able to pickup my son or do dinner and bedtime when my husband is on late shift (2-3 nights per week). We would love someone kind and patient that connects with my son to help during this six-week period and that would be interested in babysitting after. O is a sweet and energetic 4-y/o, who is (mostly) potty-trained and wants to help / follow directions, but has some communication challenges. Would need to drive O home from daycare. General hours might be Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday 5:30-8 p.m. (daycare closes at 6pm) and Thursdays 4-8 p.m. (after school activities that day). We can switch days or for morning hours instead (6:45-8am). I am hoping to help, but I'm not sure how recovery will go. Please don't hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to meeting you! Thanks!
