Jordyn $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jordyn! I currently attend George Mason University, where I have taken coursework in child development. I have several years of experience taking care of children of all ages, especially 4-11. Whether it was playing, preparing food, helping with homework, putting down for a nap, etc. I love puzzles, board games, and playing outdoors. Energy and creativity are my specialty! I also own two dogs, so I am very comfortable around animals. I look forward to helping out!

$28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, patient, and lively nanny with more than five years of experience working with families, and I’ve always loved being around kids. I focus on making sure children have fun, are well-structured, safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I believe in being competent, consistent, setting age-appropriate limits, being creative, and playing. I stay calm when things get hectic, manage busy schedules, and build strong connections with both children and parents. My time with over 30 animal rescues and fostering more than 300 dogs has really honed my patience, attention to detail, and ability to handle energetic situations.

“I can highly reccommend Alexa for nannying, babysitting and pet sitting. Alexa was my babysitter for my daughter for over a year. She was always on time, thoughtful with activities and mindful of my needs for my daughter. She always made herself available, even on short notice. She was my daughter’s favorite babysitter and we were so sad to lose her when a move separated us. She also took care of my senior dog anytime I needed her. My dog adored Alexa and was always thrilled to go to her home. She was always loved and well taken care of, not to mentioned spoiled rotten!”

Katie $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been working in early childhood education since 2012, and love being a part of nurturing and growing along with the little ones whom I'm privileged enough to teach and interact with. I enjoy working alongside parents, caregivers, and peers to facilitate learning through play, keeping in mind age-appropriate activities and developmental milestones. With extensive experience in both an educational and in-home settings, I am both flexible and adaptable to a family's needs. Aside from my career, I also enjoy singing, cooking, and time with loved ones.

"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."
