Denise $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Denise - I am 70 years old but I feel 50 years old and my 42 year old daughter says I can run circles around her and her staff. I am a nurse for 50 years (did I just say that? wow!) and I often work catering for her her restaurant. So not only do I love kids and pets but I love interior design, keeping kids engaged, playing with dogs and cats, taking care of the home and find myself organizing as I move along the house, giving the kids activities, being support to their parents, find peace in doing laundry, prepping for events, helping to host and serve at events, throwing kids birthday parties, decorating for weddings and social gatherings, love attending sports events and bringing the kids to the parks and play dates, and encourage manners, positive activities, and being an "auntie". LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING DAYS EASY, ENJOYABLE, & BEING PART OF THE FAMILY. I am here to help and be a friend, babysitter, housesitter, and house manager.

I am a loving big sister and an experienced camp counselor and babysitter. I am a recent college graduate, where I studied environmental science and psychology (including child development coursework). I love to do arts & crafts and be outside whenever possible! I like to leave a space cleaner than when I arrived and am happy to run errands, cook, and drive kids to activities. I am First Aid/CPR/AED certified and have completed the Better Kid Care training. And, I grew up with cats and dogs and am comfortable caring for both.

Booked by 1 family in Mount Vernon, VA

Hi, I’m Eliza! I’m the oldest of four sisters, so taking care of little ones has been a part of my life from a young age! I have hands-on experience with children of different ages. I cared for a newborn for almost a year and also looked after a 7-year-old girl for a year. Currently, I work full-time caring for a newborn and a toddler, but I’m available to weekends and weeknights babysitting opportunities. I’m certified in CPR and have completed a specialized course in newborn care. I have experience with everything from feeding, bathing, and playing to putting children to sleep and driving them safely when needed. I truly love working with babies and toddlers. I believe each stage of childhood is special, and I’m well-prepared to support and care for children with love, patience, and responsibility. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and experienced to care for your little ones, I’d be happy to help!

“Eliza was wonderful; she arrived right on time, got the kids fed, and even came prepared with a fun activity (balloons to make balloon animals), which our kids absolutely loved and are already begging for her to come back. What impressed us most is that she successfully put both kids to bed, which can be genuinely challenging in our house and is where many babysitters struggle. She was also very communicative both before the job and throughout the evening, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!”

Ashton $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Ashton! I’m a career nanny/family assistant who believes every day with kids should have a mix of structure, laughter, and a little bit of adventure. With over ten years of experience, I’ve worked with families through just about every stage — from baby snuggles and nap schedules to homework help and after-school chaos — and I genuinely love it all. Over the years, I’ve worked with families long-term, managing everything from daily routines and after-school schedules to travel, household coordination, and family logistics. Whether it’s planning enriching activities, helping with school projects, or keeping things organized behind the scenes, I bring a thoughtful, steady presence to every home I’m part of. I’m originally from Alabama but now call the D.C. area home. When I’m not with my nanny families, I’m usually traveling (I’ve checked all 50 states off my list!), at a concert, or hanging out with my fiancé and our Goldendoodle, Rui.

"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."
