Hi! I’m Ena’je I’m a reliable and nurturing childcare provider with 10 years of experience caring for children from infants to school-aged kids. I was raised in an at-home daycare environment and have worked with many families over the years, which has helped me build a strong foundation in child development and care. My caregiving approach is Montessori-inspired, focusing on independence, hands-on learning, and respecting each child’s pace and interests. I encourage age-appropriate activities that support fine motor skills, problem-solving, creativity, and practical life skills in a calm, structured, and engaging environment. I also have experience supporting families with school pick-up and drop-off, including direct school pick-ups, kiss-and-ride, and walking children to and from bus stops. Safety, punctuality, and consistency are always a top priority for me. I enjoy helping with homework, guiding creative play, organizing educational activities, and providing a warm, attentive presence. I adapt easily to each family’s routine and each child’s unique personality. Clear and open communication with parents is very important to me. I keep families informed about their child’s day and make sure instructions and preferences are followed closely. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to being a trusted and supportive caregiver for your family.

I was incredibly lucky to have Ena’je’s support and help during my 2 year old and 1 year old’s back-to-back ear tube surgery in Fairfax, while my husband was away on a work trip. It was a lot to go through and juggle, especially being 4 months’ pregnant! I had never met Ena’je in person beforehand, but as soon as she arrived and saw my 2 year old having a tantrum at a brand new doctor’s surgery, she immediately assisted and settled him on her lap. He took to her straight away and felt very comforted. Ena’je looked after both of of my boys in the playroom while I had to address some matters with the doctors, and she was in charge of the baby’s recovery process while the toddler was being operated on. The baby was also very settled with her and I was so relieved to have hired her that day! I couldn’t have done it without her. 2 days later, she looked after the baby while he was out of daycare recovering from the surgery, just so that I could go to work for a few hours and not fall behind. She fed him, put him down for his nap and played with him. It was so obvious to me that she knew what she was doing and was well-qualified for the job. She is kind, patient, nurturing and professional. I will definitely be hiring her again without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you so much Ena’je. You are such a blessing!

Hi - My name is Denisha and I am a recently graduated student at GW currently studying for the bar. SitterCitty and UrbanSitter have sent me all over the DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. I have a lot of experience babysitting children and have been doing it since I was in middle school. I enjoy spending time together with kids and I often plan fun activities like a movie or a game to keep them occupied. I am a non-smoker and am both vaccinated and boosted. I have also been through both CPR and first aid training. I usually like to keep in contact with the parents while babysitting and send a quick text here and there to let you know they just had their dinner or I just tucked them into bed. If you have any questions about me or for me feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration!

"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."
