Hi, everyone. I'm Kayla, and I am so excited to be here. To tell you about me, I am a Virginia native and graduated from Old Dominion University. I moved to Florida last year and have enjoyed my time here. When I was in Virginia, I was a teacher assistant at an elementary school, watching over 40 children. Then I became a nanny to a seven and a four-year-old when I was laid off due to Covid. I have experience helping with homework, light housework, cooking meals, and creative ideas for playtime. I can not wait to meet you and your family.

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!

Hello my name is marcala I’m 24 years old I’m currently a student at Northern Virginia community college. I started taking care of kids when I was 13 years, starting with my cousins and my two brothers, and throughout the years I’ve been babysitting my nieces and nephews, and I love it. I am comfortable taking care of children from 1 month to 8 years old. I enjoy reading, watching movies, going on walks and drawing . I work part time medical assistant and a full time student at nova. Im also cpr certified and also first aid trained. Thank you for considering me, I can’t wait to work y’all.

Hello family, This letter is my personal character reference for Marcala Joseph. I have been a close friend of Marcala’s for 5 years and her immediate trainee for three. We both worked at a retail store and as caregiver back in 2018. In my interactions with her, l've found that she consistently exceeds expectations in her interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities, and work ethic. She is a caring person, very patient and pay close at attention to details, with her past caregiver experience I believe she will be a great addition to your family. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to me [email protected]. Thank you.

Afua Lorton
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Afua! and I’ve been working with children for over five years. I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. I currently work as a hospital technician, so I’m medically trained and confident handling any health or safety concerns that may come up. I have experience caring for children with autism as well as older adults with dementia and other cognitive challenges, so I’m patient, understanding, and attentive to individual needs. At my church, I serve as a toddler coordinator, where I plan and lead activities that keep little ones engaged and excited to learn, which means I’m great at organizing fun, creative ways to spend time with kids of all ages. I’m also very active and love staying on the move, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or keeping up with energetic toddlers. My goal is to make sure your children feel happy, supported, and safe while having a great time. Your kids will be in caring and capable hands with me, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you have!

"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."
