Meet college nannies and sitters from Howard University

Hi - My name is Denisha and I am a recently graduated student at GW currently studying for the bar. SitterCitty and UrbanSitter have sent me all over the DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. I have a lot of experience babysitting children and have been doing it since I was in middle school. I enjoy spending time together with kids and I often plan fun activities like a movie or a game to keep them occupied. I am a non-smoker and am both vaccinated and boosted. I have also been through both CPR and first aid training. I usually like to keep in contact with the parents while babysitting and send a quick text here and there to let you know they just had their dinner or I just tucked them into bed. If you have any questions about me or for me feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration!

I am Howard University alumnae. I love having an active lifestyle. I’ve been babysitting for the past fourteen years. I teach children from 2-18 years old how to play golf. I love to complete puzzles, play outside, and play with toys. When it comes to deciding one over the other, I would much rather read to your children than have them stare at a television screen. I believe children learn better when they are less reliant on technology for entertainment.

Hi! I’m Ajani, a Howard University graduate with a B.S. in Psychology and over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborn through early teens. I started babysitting when I was 13 and honestly never stopped. Being around kids has always felt natural to me. I love creating calm, structured spaces where children feel safe, heard, and free to just be kids. From 2022 to 2024, I worked as a classroom observer in infant through Pre-K programs across DC and Virginia. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of child development, behavior patterns, and how routines truly support children emotionally and socially. It strengthened how I approach transitions, bedtime routines, and engaging play. I now work full time in public health as a Quality Improvement Specialist while finishing my MPH, but childcare has always been something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally make time for. My professional background has only strengthened this passion, helping me become even more organized, communicative, and detail oriented. I’m experienced with: • Infants and toddlers • Bedtime routines • Date nights and overnights • Homework support • Structured play • Pet care Families have described me as dependable, calm, punctual, and communicative. I regularly send updates (and photos if requested) so you can truly enjoy your time out or have peace of mind while at work. Please note: My response time rating reflects a temporary account access issue last year. I’m fully active and responsive now. I’m always happy to hop on a quick video chat to see if we’re a good fit!

🚨Before booking or scheduling an interview, please note that I am NO LONGER in the DMV area; however, I can refer experienced peers upon request🚨 — Hi families!! My name is Nellisha, and I'm super excited to serve you and your loved ones. I am offering child, senior, and household services. I am a recent Howard University graduate, and I have worked with children in a professional setting from all age groups since 2017. Additionally, being the oldest of many cousins and being a leader of the children's group at my church, I have found caring for children to be a passion that I have. I also have experience caring for seniors, as I’ve obtained both my CPR/First Aid Certification and my Certified Nursing Assistant license in high school, where my clinical hours were done in a nursing facility. I enjoy arts and crafts, dancing, and working out, and I can also offer homework help for your child as well. I also enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes, and that is something I can do to with your child to help keep them occupied. Regarding household services, I can clean, house sit, and possibly run errands. I am also comfortable tending to a family with dogs.

Hi, my name is Brittany! I am a recent Howard University graduate and am currently working in finance. I am offering childcare, pet care, non-medical senior care, and housing services. I love children and have been babysitting since I was 8 years old. My responsibilities consisted of assisting with homework, meal preparations, changing diapers, feeding new borns, and bedtime routines. Among these, I also incorporated educational activities, arts and crafts, and outdoor games. In addition to babysitting the children of family members and family friends, I also volunteered at Rita Bright and Family Youth Center in Washington, D.C. from my freshman year to graduation. I was apart of a mentorship program where we would volunteer at Rita Bright and mentor children after school, assist them with their homework, take part in extracurricular activities/sports, while also providing them the opportunity to vent/release any built up tension they may have. In high school, I worked at the YMCA in San Diego as a volleyball coach. As a Volleyball Coach at the YMCA, I am responsible for teaching fundamental volleyball skills, including serving, passing, setting, and teamwork, to athletes of varying ages and skill levels. I plan and lead engaging practices, promote sportsmanship and positive attitudes, and ensure a safe, inclusive environment for all participants. Additionally, I support player development by providing constructive feedback, organizing drills, and preparing teams for games and recreational competition. I am comfortable with senior care and am willing to help prepare meals, picking up prescriptions, provide transportation, or even just provide some friendly care. I have been assisting with my grandmother for as long as I can remember and would love to help out in any way I can. In addition to loving children, I always love animals. I have been a pet owner to my baby Dakota for five years. I enjoy taking her for walks, playing at the park, or even just joining her in the backyard to sun bathe. And at the end of it all, she’s my cuddle baby. I would love to provide the same love to your fur baby when you’re away.

Hi! My name is Anisa. I work evenings and take classes part-time in Midtown. I am offering child care services to families. With my current work/class schedule, I am generally available Wednesdays until midday (around 3:30p) and on weekends (Saturday/Sunday). I’ve been babysitting for my family since 2024. I have experience watching an eight-year-old child (now a preteen) and a toddler (three years old). I enjoy the arts, acting, dancing, singing, playing all kinds of games, going for walks outside in nature, and anything that stimulates the imagination. I am familiar with tasks such as homework help, managing medication, bathroom hygiene and potty maintenance, feeding, changing, bathing, and picking up/driving from school. I am not currently Adult/Child/Infant CPR & First Aid certified but am willing and actively looking into getting my certification asap. I can also help with basic household chores if necessary. And I grew up around dogs, cats, birds (parrots) and fish, so I am comfortable working around or with common household pets if there are any in the house with your kids. I am Pet First Aid & CPR certified as well.
