Childcare comes first. Your sitter cares for your child and actively guides hands-on STEM experiences during the appointment, so you do not have to lead the activities.
For infants through age 12 across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Request care for an occasional need or tell us about your recurring schedule.
Our background-checked, CPR and First Aid-certified caregivers provide dependable, nurturing care for children from infancy through age 12.
Your sitter helps your child observe, try ideas, and explore at their own pace. Experiences may include sensory exploration, chemistry experiments, creative building, and problem-solving challenges.
Infants and toddlers: noticing colors, textures, movement, and cause and effect through closely supervised exploration.
Preschoolers: mixing colors, making predictions, and testing simple structures.
School-aged children: investigating reactions, building and testing designs, and talking through what changed and why.
These are examples, not a fixed activity menu. Experiences vary with age, interests, developmental needs, and the appointment. Care routines remain part of the visit.
$23/hour for one child
