Hi, I’m Brianna! I’m a D.C. area native, preschool teacher, & lifelong lover of all things creative, fun, and family-oriented. My journey with children started back in high school when I began babysitting. What started as something I enjoyed quickly turned into a passion and eventually led me to start my own nannying business! Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children from newborns all the way through their teenage years, giving me experience with a wide variety of ages, personalities, routines, and family needs. Today, I’m a preschool teacher, and I absolutely love what I do! I enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences for children while also helping them learn, grow, and feel comfortable being themselves.

Hi, I'm responsible, punctual, and very caring. I do not drink or smoke at all. I have over 10 years of experience with children, ranging from newborns to teenagers. I love introducing the children I babysit to the different languages I speak. Arts and crafts, outside play, walking to the library, games and reading are activities I enjoy when babysitting. I am excited to meet you and your children!

“She was wonderful. Our little one was being a bit moody and I thought it might be a screen night, but she got him to calm down and play, which was outstanding! By the time we came home our little one was happy and asked to see her again.”

"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."
