Anna $25 per hour for 1 child

I've had extensive experience with children in a variety of professional capacities (babysitting, nanny, tutor, yoga teacher) and have a young adult in college. In the past several years, I have worked with a few local families after school. It's a win-win for me having something I look forward to on my daily schedule and for families to have a reliable, mature caregiver the kids enjoy spending time with. I particularly like working with tweens and teens and am happy to shuttle to and from school, home, and activities.

Lauren $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Potomac, MD

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I’ve been working with children since 2017 through a variety of roles, including babysitting, preschool teaching, childcare administration, and behavioral therapy. Working with children has always been something I genuinely love, and it’s a big reason I majored in Psychology and Human Development and Family Sciences. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of different ages and personalities, and I really enjoy getting to know each child, helping them feel safe, and creating a fun, caring environment. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and also have my MAT certification. I’m dependable, patient, and warm, but I also love being playful and creative with kids. I'm open to part-time, and possibly full-time for the right fit. I’d love to connect with a family looking for someone reliable, experienced, and caring!

Bezayit $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi My name is Beza, and I’m excited to offer babysitting and childcare services! I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I enjoy engaging children in fun and creative activities such as crafts, reading, games, and outdoor play, while also making sure they feel safe and supported. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like meal preparation, tidying up, and homework support. Families describe me as reliable, nurturing, and patient, and I always strive to create a positive environment for both kids and parents. I look forward to meeting new families and providing dependable, caring support for your children!

Julia $20 per hour for 1 child

I love children and pets. I really enjoy babysitting and entertaining kids. I know how to follow a strict schedule for younger children if required or create a fun plan for an exciting babysitting session. I am comfortable cooking, cleaning, feeding, and changing children, including changing diapers. I am also open to helping your children with homework or instruments. I have a drivers license and my own car, so I am able to travel to wherever you live. I have been taught to perform CPR and Heimlich on all ages including infants (was recertified this summer). I also took a safe sitters course through Suburban Hospital. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your children. If you would like to contact my references and/or previous families I would love to share their information with you.

"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."
