Booked by 4 families in Lanham, MD

I have worked in early childhood education since 2015 with experience working with newborns, infants, and toddlers as a teacher, nanny, and healthcare worker. I have also worked one-on-one as a tutor with children ages 7-13. Education includes a B.S. in Psychology and NAEYC-certified infant and toddler Child Development training with CPR and first-aid certification. I've spent the last six years working as a nanny and childcare provider in Boston MA and have recently moved back to Washington, DC. I am currently available to work full-time in the DMV area.

“Orie is an absolutely wonderful communicator who went above and beyond to create an exceptional experience for our youngest wedding guests. She’s self-sufficient, kind, thoughtful, flexible, and incredibly reliable. I can’t recommend her more highly.”

Lucy $25 per hour for 1 child

family advocate with more than five years of experience caring for children in private homes, licensed early-childhood programs, and youth programs. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-age children, and families with a wide range of routines and needs. My childcare background includes feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime routines, school pickup and transitions, imaginative and sensory play, reading, crafts, outdoor activities, meal preparation, and keeping children’s spaces tidy. I’ve also worked as an early-childhood assistant teacher and summer lead teacher, and I’ve coached Girls on the Run. Families can expect me to be warm, dependable, communicative, and attentive to the individual child. My background in social work, family support, and trauma-informed care has also taught me how important it is to stay calm, respect family routines, and meet children where they are. I’m comfortable supporting neurodivergent children and adapting activities or communication styles when needed. I enjoy creating evenings that feel fun and relaxed while still keeping routines consistent, whether that means playing outside, doing crafts, reading together, baking, or winding down for bedtime. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, such as meals, dishes, toys, and cleanup. I’m currently completing a child-advocacy policy fellowship in Washington, DC, and primarily seek evening and weekend childcare. I genuinely enjoy getting to know families and becoming someone both parents and children can feel comfortable and confident with.

"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."
