Hi everyone! My name is Laura, and I’m 31 years old with extensive experience (10 years+) caring for children of different ages. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position with a wonderful family. I’m certified in First Aid and CPR, fully vaccinated (including COVID-19 boosters), and I have a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record. I also have my own reliable vehicle and I’m happy to safely transport children to and from school, activities, appointments, and outings as needed. Beyond providing attentive, loving, and dependable care, I enjoy helping children with homework, preparing simple meals and healthy snacks, planning fun and educational activities, spending time outdoors at parks, doing arts and crafts, reading together, and even teaching Spanish if the family is interested. I strive to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I consider myself active, patient, responsible, organized, resourceful, and cheerful. I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with the families I work with, and I’m proud to have excellent references available upon request. Availability: I’m available to start September 8, with flexibility to begin as early as August 24 if needed. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

Everything went great. She was so great withthe kids.

Hi! My name is Rachel, and I recently graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a major in Biomedical Science. I aspire to become a pediatrician because I’ve always loved working with children and creating positive, fun experiences for them. I have been working with kids for over 5 years through babysitting, summer camps, church programs, and mentoring experiences. I previously worked with kids at Brooksfield School summer camp, where I helped lead engaging activities including sports and STEM projects. I loved getting to build connections with the kids while keeping camp fun, active, and supportive. I have also volunteered with children through Sunday School at my local church. In addition to childcare experience, I played collegiate lacrosse, so I enjoy staying active and encouraging kids to participate in sports, games, and outdoor activities. I’m responsible, energetic, patient, and passionate about creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children of all ages.

Hi - My name is Denisha and I am a recently graduated student at GW currently studying for the bar. SitterCitty and UrbanSitter have sent me all over the DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. I have a lot of experience babysitting children and have been doing it since I was in middle school. I enjoy spending time together with kids and I often plan fun activities like a movie or a game to keep them occupied. I am a non-smoker and am both vaccinated and boosted. I have also been through both CPR and first aid training. I usually like to keep in contact with the parents while babysitting and send a quick text here and there to let you know they just had their dinner or I just tucked them into bed. If you have any questions about me or for me feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration!

"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."
