Hi, I’m Tatia! I recently graduated from college and am back home in DC. I have 8 years of professional experience working with children in a variety of capacities, including as a teacher’s aide in school settings, babysitting and caretaking in the home, and serving as an educator and social worker for children through organizational work. Aside from my professional experience, I’m also an older sister to two lovely younger siblings who I’ve cared for over the years, and that’s truly where my passion for working with children began. Through these experiences, I’ve worked with children ages 1–15. I’m very patient, adaptable, and always looking for fun and engaging ways to interact with children. My teaching experience has prepared me to respond thoughtfully to conflicts, support children’s individual needs, and always prioritize safety and care. My culinary experience and passion for cooking also mean I’m more than happy to prepare meals and snacks that are both nutritious and enjoyable for children. As a DC resident, I’m very familiar with the area and love the idea of extending care beyond the home by exploring the many family-friendly events, activities, and sights around the city. I’m very flexible, dependable, and open to any questions. I hope to work with your family soon :)

I am trained in infant CPR, having huge experience caring for especially infants, toddlers and preschoolers. My rate is negotiable depending on what child care services are expected from me. I value punctuality. I am reliable, dependable and trustworthy maintaining loyalty and stability. I also worked in D. C. so I am familiar with all Smithsonian Museums, water parks, playgrounds, libraries, community centers both in DC. My motto is lead with kindness providing a nurturing and caring environment and evolve to include taking the little ones to the library, playground, community activities and play dates. I focus on kids' learning, and try being a competent teacher, good at nonverbal children, being a good swimmer helping kids summer time. I make sure they meet and exceed all their mile stones. I teach appropriate social behaviors, such as being respectful to others planning age appropriate activities, being passionate to contribute positively to children’s lives while working. I love to keep kids learning, laughing and active. I am familiar with basic safety protocol with toddlers and infants. I am comfortable administering basic first aid. Looking forward to hearing from you when convenient. Regards! Aysen

“Aysen was great, this was our first time leaving our son with a new sitter while we went out and she made me feel right at ease, immediately connecting with him and listening to all my information and asking questions. Highly recommend and will definitely be working with again in the future!”

"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."
