Booked by 3 families in Lanham, MD

I am an early childhood educator with experience caring for and supporting young children in a safe, loving, and structured environment. I specialize in working with children from 4 months to 12 years old, using play-based and Montessori-inspired activities to encourage learning, independence, and emotional development. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I enjoy creating meaningful routines, engaging activities, and calm spaces where children feel secure, confident, and happy. I also support families with daily routines, light household tasks related to childcare, and clear communication to ensure trust and peace of mind.

Hi! My name is Tasheni Mpundu and I have been providing childcare for 7 years. I am currently a student at the University of Southern California studying Political Science and Public Relations and Advertising. I have always had a love children since I was a child and have loved working in all types of childcare and would love to support any families needing assistance. Growing up, I have learned from home how to care for children, cook, clean, and ensure a safe space which made me become the responsible and reliable sitter I am today. I started volunteering at orphanages while I lived in Kenya, babysitting for members in my family when I was younger, and today I have developed strong relationships with multiple families across the DMV area. I have built strong relationships with families throughout the past 5 summers consistently. I am fully vaccinated and I am also comfortable with pets as well as housekeeping. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to learn more about me. I am so excited to meet you and your bundles of joy!

“Tasheni arrived on time, communicated her ETA, and took great care of our kids. My daughter requested she come back again!”

Booked by 17 families in Lanham, MD

Hi! I'm Kathryn - kids call me KP. Friends have also referred to me as Aunt Kathryn, Baby Whisperer and Better Mommy. (That last one comes from a pretty specific sense of humor!). My very first job was babysitting when I was 11. I worked my way through high school and college as a nanny, babysitter and camp counselor. Professionally I’m a consultant (political, program, operations), but I also want to remain a camp counselor forever so I spend a significant amount of my time helping families in the DC area. Some ways I can help: -babysitting -cooking in your home -overnights or multi-day caretaking -kids’ parties - arts and crafts, cooking or baking, games and simulations, wilderness, theater and movement, swimming pool -custom cakes for kids -driving kids around -lice treatment Message me to talk about any of these - I have references and examples of recent engagements for all of them. I love newborns - I earned the "baby whisperer" nickname because babies stop crying when I hold them. Many friends have asked me to be their new baby's first babysitter. I have spent more than a few hours in the NICU with friends' new babies and I can handle very young and special needs babies. I also love older kids - I do arts & crafts, baking and cooking, dance parties, field trips, nature & outside time, etc. Two of my favorite secret tricks are pipe cleaners and the Ministry of Silly Walks. Nutrition and health are serious hobbies for me - I am a great home cook and a registered yoga teacher. Cleaning isn't my favorite but I like to take care of people, and I love seeing the relief on people's faces when I finish some laundry or dishes or other cleaning task they're dreading. Mostly, I love meeting humans of all ages wherever they are and engaging on their level. I'm loving, compassionate, non-judgmental and fun. I'm also super no-nonsense and really great at boundaries and expectations. I'd love to meet your family!

“Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with our two daughters! Can easily recommend her! ”

"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."
