Hi! My name is Rachel, and I recently graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a major in Biomedical Science. I aspire to become a pediatrician because I’ve always loved working with children and creating positive, fun experiences for them. I have been working with kids for over 5 years through babysitting, summer camps, church programs, and mentoring experiences. I previously worked with kids at Brooksfield School summer camp, where I helped lead engaging activities including sports and STEM projects. I loved getting to build connections with the kids while keeping camp fun, active, and supportive. I have also volunteered with children through Sunday School at my local church. In addition to childcare experience, I played collegiate lacrosse, so I enjoy staying active and encouraging kids to participate in sports, games, and outdoor activities. I’m responsible, energetic, patient, and passionate about creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children of all ages.

Working with Children has always brought me happiness, Teaching to maintain Hygiene(If its a concerns and parents want obviously), as well as teaching good manners, math and anything that needs to be taken care of, always be thankful. Spanish speaking, don’t mind teaching at all. Love being able to be there for your kids when you are not available, keeping them comfortable and distracted I have 2 beautiful nieces 2 and 4 year old niece that gives me strength and passion to love kids even more and appreciate those mom what they do for them. (I know its not easy!) Few days/hours a week I give my sister some time off for me to be with my nieces, for her to rest or do any errands which she loves including date nights since both my nieces where born, just loved being a present aunt. And they seeing me grow with them as we taught them about my pregnancy. They were so thrilled to meet my baby. That now all they do is ask for him first. Recently I became a mother with my first baby boy. He is 9 months old. Since day 1 my mother instinct kicked in with pain, I continued with my goals (no medication for labor-breastfeeding) was able to accomplish them just how I planned to. I have help from my husband as he had paternity leave. Yet I still want to do almost everything. I completely take over at night, bath routine, wash/sanitize pump parts/bottle. All while also making sure I meet my protein intake for milk supply. Practically I just have dad for soothing/burping. My baby name is Liam. He is the most wonderful thing that could happen to me and couldn’t ask for anything else in the world. I follow a schedule for him to sleep through the night. Always with the help of my sister as she is Doula (childcare/postpartum experienced) and personally experienced she provides me with knowledge up to date, formally showing my interest in following her footsteps. Love dogs and cats, former pet owner. I am fully vaccinated I and current with all. Experienced on childcare worked as a Receptionist for Pediatric Clinic for a couple of years. Then Pediatric Dentistry as a Hospital Admin. & Dental Assistant Trainee. Currently on maternity leave with no pay. And wouldn’t love nothing more than to be able to work with him while I do what I love.

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."
