Become an eventsitter

Events and celebrations across Northern Virginia and DC. Choose the events that fit your schedule, work alongside a partner every time, and get paid per event.

You pick the dates

We send event offers that match your stated availability. Take the ones that work, pass on the rest.

Never on your own

Every event is staffed with at least two caregivers and a named lead, so you always have backup in the room.

Everything's prepared

Activity kits, the care plan, allergy notes and venue logistics are sorted before you arrive. You focus on the children.

How this works. If we move forward with your application, we'll email you a secure link from our screening provider. You'll enter your date of birth and Social Security number directly with them — never on this form and never by email. We only receive the result.

The screening covers a national criminal database search, county criminal records, the national sex offender registry, and a Social Security number trace. There is no cost to you.

Please don't include your Social Security number, date of birth, or driver's license number anywhere on this form.

We review applications weekly and reply either way.
