Abigail $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Abigail ( you can also call me Abi) . I am in my final year of medical school and looking to make some cash on the side during my free time. I am offering child care and senior care services. I own a car. **Child care**** I enjoy taking care of people hence inspiring my goal to pursue a career in medicine. I have helped to babysit children of relatives and friends, and I will say I always had a great time with them! The most professional setting will be when I served for 1 year as the Childrens Ministry coordinator for my church which allowed me to work with multiple children (ages 4-10) at a time. This role added a spark to my assigned Sundays as I looked forward to spending time with them; teaching, learning through activities, and creating fun memories together all while ensuring their safety and comfort. I have also tutored elementary school children in maths, reading and science. ***Senior Care**** Growing up, I helped my mother to take care of my grandfather who had Alzheimer’s. I have always enjoyed taking care of people especially at their most vulnerable moments which can come with aging or sickness. While in medical school, I have been blessed with many opportunities to play that role for patients of different ages. However, I am even more grateful I get to take care of the elderly both in inpatient and outpatient settings. Also, having a mother who works as a CNA has given me the chance to learn more about being an even better caregiver to the elderly. I can help with meals, drive to appointments, and other tasks. *Others I may consider* -Errands -Tutoring -Cleaning -Laundry Thanks for checking out my profile 😊

Ellie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Ellie. I am the middle child of 5 and I am from Vienna, Virginia. I just finished my first year at Franciscan University, majoring in nursing and playing on their soccer team. I love spending time with kids and enjoy being outdoors, especially going on hikes and exploring nature. I have been babysitting for almost 7 years, with experience from 5 months-12 years. I’ve babysat regularly for a family of 5 boys, so I am comfortable managing multiple children. I’m attentive and creative, and I love doing crafts and playing games outside. I also love reading books and I like to bring a long some of my favorites to share:) In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, laundry and errands. I also have several pets of my own at home, so I am also comfortable with pet care if need be.

Stuti $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Stuti. I’m a caring, reliable, and experienced caregiver with over 5 years of childcare experience. I spent 4 years caring for two boys who were ages 5 and 8 when I started, helping with daily routines, homework, meals, transportation, and fun activities. Before that, I cared for a 14 month old boy for a year until he started preschool, gaining valuable experience with toddlers and early childhood development. I am CPR certified, hold a valid driver’s license, and am fluent in three languages. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, and dependable. I love creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun while parents feel confident that their children are in good hands.

"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."
