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.

Hi, my name is Kendall! I’m a 21-year-old living in DC and currently working as a busser.

I’m comfortable with cats, dogs of any size, rabbits, hamsters, birds, reptiles, you name it! If you’re looking for reliable and consistent care, I’d love to connect!

"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."
