Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Melissa. I’m a caring, positive, responsible, and highly reliable person with over 20 years of babysitting experience and 10 years as a teacher and tutor. I’ve been working for pre-K for FCPS for the past 2 years and have two kids of my own, so I truly understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment. Over the years, I’ve worked with toddlers through middle schoolers, providing everything from tutoring and homework help to school pickups, doctor’s appointments, household support, and errands. I’m a safe and dependable driver, and I always prioritize the well-being and individual needs of each child. As a nanny, I bring strong communication, patience, and flexibility to ensure children feel supported and parents feel confident. My goal is to help every child thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

Virginia $23 per hour for 1 child

I began working with children at my local daycare in the middle of my 10th-grade year until the end of my high school education. Beginning first as a volunteer, I collaborated with teachers on creating creative assignments, serving children their breakfast, changing diapers and clothes, and observing when we took field trips to bowl and trips to the pool. Additionally, before I transitioned to college, I gained experience with a 3-year-old personally. In my time with her, I was able to continue to strengthen my communication skills, find ways to keep her entertained with and without television such as drawing and dancing, and serve her snacks prepared by her mother. Now, I am a proud Aunt of 5 children( 2 boys and 3 girls ages 3mo-9 yrs old) and am trusted to watch them alone. I am experienced with tasks such as feeding, changing, nap time, play time outside, etc. Overall, I have enjoyed being a babysitter. I am always sure to document the day and events of the child/children I care for. Creating a safe, educational, and fun environment is my top priority!

"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."
