Hi, families! I’m Cierra, a dedicated educator with over 11 years of experience working with children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Human Relations and a Master’s degree in Teaching Early Childhood Education. I’m currently a 2nd grade teacher with DC Public Schools (DCPS)! Before joining DCPS, I taught in charter schools and worked at highly regarded childcare centers, including Little Scholars at the Library of Congress and Tiny Findings at the GAO, where I served as Lead Teacher in infant and toddler classrooms. Babysitting and nannying are true passions of mine! I enjoy helping families with evening, weekend, holiday, overnight, and school-break care. As an educator and a proud mom to a fun-loving 7-year-old daughter, I understand the importance of finding someone who is nurturing, dependable, and trustworthy. I love creating fun, engaging experiences that help children learn, grow, and feel cared for! ❤️ A little more about me: * 🎓 Bachelor’s degree in Human Relations * 🍎 Master’s degree in Teaching Early Childhood Education * 👩🏽‍🏫 Current 2nd Grade Teacher with DCPS * 📚 Experience teaching in both charter and public schools * 🏫 11+ years of childcare and educational experience * 🍼 Former Lead Teacher in infant and toddler classrooms * ❤️ Proud mom to a fun-loving daughter * 🔺 Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Outside of teaching, I’m working toward my dream of opening my own childcare center!!

“Cierra was great! Especially considering it was a last minute booking. She was communicative from the start, asked the right questions, and got right to work. She had a very calming energy which helped keep my ordinarily anxious baby at ease. Definitely will be re-booking and highly recommend! ”

Booked by 60 families in Washington, DC

Hello parents, My name is Elizabeth, and I am based in Washington, DC. I hold a BA in Accounting & Finance, but my true passion has always been working with children. I began caring for infants and toddlers at a young age, supporting family members and neighbors, and I also have experience teaching third grade in my home country. I have cared for children of all ages—from newborns to teens—including those with autism, asthma, and eczema. My background includes part-time caregiving within my community, working at a daycare center in London after earning my First Aid certification, and serving as an assistant karate instructor for five years with children ages 5 to 13. Families appreciate my patience, reliability, and ability to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I enjoy planning creative activities that support children’s development while making sure they feel happy and secure. In my free time, I enjoy reading, puzzles, arts and crafts, and spending time outdoors. I am currently babysitting once per week and would love the opportunity to support your family.

“Elizabeth was great! She showed up early and was so gentle with my baby. Her calm energy was very soothing for him (as a baby that doesn’t always do well with new, unknown people). I look forward to working with her again and recommend. ”

*Primarily interested in work in the Capitol Hill area* I have spent the past twelve years nannying full time for kids ranging from newborn-13 year (specializing in infant and toddler care). Prior to nannying I taught acting classes for preschool aged children for three years. I love to do creative things with the kids I sit for including visual art, dance, and imaginative play. I'm also a big fan of the outdoors. I enjoy it when the children in my care share with me the interests that make them excited!

Hello Families, My name is Eboni and I’m 31 years old. I’ve been babysitting and working with kids since I was 14 years old. I’ve use urbansitter in the years of 2[removed] and took a break to travel and focus on my career in the government. I wanted to come back because I’ve seen that with the events of things going on in the world I know that moms and dads need much needed breaks and resets. I love spending time with the kiddos and I also don’t mind tending to your pets, plants, doing household chores and even cooking dinner or helping with meal prep.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
