Morgan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Morgan or Moe and I’ve been babysitting since I was 12. Currently trying to move out with my puppy and start my adult life. I was involved in the special needs program at school so I am at least familiar with how to care for special needs children. I can work with any age group as I adapt easily and connect well with children. I can cook, clean, and discipline if needed. I also have a rewarding system for the kids if they had a good day/week. I love kids and hope I’ll be a good fit for yours!

Hello, families! My name is Lily, i’m 19 years old and i’m a passionate and enthusiastic babysitter with five years of experience caring for children of various ages. From when I started babysitting at 14, I have always been committed to making sure children enjoy their time with me as much as I enjoy my time with them.

My goal is to ensure that parents feel absolutely secure and confident in their children’s well-being during their time away.

Carmen $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Carmen! I’m 22 years old. I was born in Peru and moved to Northern Virginia in 2013. When my mom and I first moved here, we were waiting for our paperwork to be processed and weren’t able to work, so we started babysitting children from our home for families we knew and family friends. Over the years, we cared for children ranging from as young as 3 months old to about 4 years old. We built such wonderful relationships with the children and their families, and we still keep in touch with many of them and even attend their family gatherings. It has been really special to watch the children grow and to remain close with their families throughout the years. Currently, I work as a server at a restaurant, and I really enjoy staying busy, being helpful, and interacting with people. Although I haven’t had professional experience caring for seniors yet, I do have several years of experience caring for young children, which has taught me to be patient, responsible, attentive, and caring. I also have a 5-year-old Shih Tzu who was actually gifted to us by one of those family friends, so she has become a very special part of our family as well! 🐶❤️ I also want to mention that I live a healthy and responsible lifestyle. I do not use drugs or any other substances, and I take my responsibilities and the trust people place in me very seriously. I’m very new to this app, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I’d be happy to tell you more about myself and my experience!

"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."
