Booked by 5 families in Mount Vernon, VA

Hello Family ! My name is Sarah and I'm a business administration major at Marymount University with extensive background in child care. As the eldest of seven children, I was often entrusted with the care of my younger siblings while our parents were at work. This formative experience gave me a natural talent for ensuring the happiness and safety of youngsters. I find it fun to interact with children and provid them fun and instructive activities. Whether working with infants, preschoolers, or teenagers, I am able to modify my approach to best suit the needs of each age group. To further ease your load, I can also, cook simple meals. Having my own car makes it easy and simple for me to drive the kids to their various appointments and activities. Having the opportunity to care for your children is something I am very happy about.

Gessyca 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Gessyca and I'm 31 years old. I started out as teacher assistant and then switched to ESL teacher but fell into childcare a few years ago and love it so much! My favorite age groups are infants, toddlers and first graders, but I have experience with most ages. I'm looking for a full time position, preferably a long term option. I'm CPR certified, and I have years of experience driving. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, pretend play, dancing, encouraging independent time, and outdoor activities. I'm firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I enjoy going for a walk and exploring new spots in town or playing board games with my friends. I love to sing and travel too! I look forward to hearing from you.

“Gessyca is truly the only person I trust my daughter besides her father. She always goes above and beyond to make my toddler laugh, play, eat and rest. She is very professional and reliable, her school experience makes everything flow seamlessly. There’s something soothing about her that makes my very strong willed toddler calm down and participate in the activities without a big power struggle. My favorite thing about Gessyca is that she’s down for WHATEVER: dance party? She will press play. Arts and crafts? Yes, ma’am. Nap time? The baby relaxing playlist is on. Storytime? In 2 different languages. The first time she worked with us was when my baby was 8 months old and now that she is 2, i cannot tell her when Gessyca is coming beforehand because her excitement level is hard to contain. You’re really missing out if don’t hire here.”

Hi everyone! My name is Kristýna, I’m 27 years old, and I’m currently offering occasional childcare and pet care services.

I have experience with all age groups, including caring for multiple children at once, and I’m happy to provide local references upon request. I genuinely love spending time with kids and engaging in fun, creative activities with them. I’ve also worked as a children’s entertainer at a hotel resort, which gave me lots of ideas for keeping kids entertained and happy. I’m comfortable with bedtime routines, diaper changes, meal prep, homework help, and more. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out-I’d love to hear from you! 😊

“Kristyna did a wonderful job!”

"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."
