Hi, I’m Cierra! I’m a dedicated Early Childhood Educator with over 11 years of experience. I hold a Bachelors degree in Human Relations and a Masters in Teaching Early Childhood Education. I took the 25-26 school year off from teaching in the school system to work on opening my very own childcare center. Before joining the school system here in DC, I worked at top-rated childcare centers such as Little Scholars (Library of Congress) and Tiny Findings (GAO), where I was Lead Teacher of both infant and toddler classrooms. Babysitting and nannying aside teaching are true passions of mine, especially during school breaks, evenings, and weekends. I'm also a proud mom to a fun-loving 7-year-old daughter! **CPR/First Aid renewal: 3/12/2026 **Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc🔺

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 immediately connected with our suspicious 6 month old and put us at ease. She was very gentle and attentive with her, and our girl was all smiles when we got home. Such a gift!

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
