Booked by 1 family in Sterling, VA

Hi! My name is Lilah, I’m 20 years old and I’m a responsible, dependable, and caring babysitter who truly loves working with children. I have years of experience caring for infants and toddlers before heading to college, and I enjoy helping kids learn, laugh, and grow in a safe and fun environment. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, and I’m comfortable handling all aspects of childcare — from feedings and bedtime routines to playtime and creative activities. I love doing arts and crafts, reading stories, and helping with early learning games. In addition to childcare, I can also help with: • Housecleaning and light chores • Meal preparation and cooking • Pet care and errands You can count on me to be punctual, patient, and positive. I take pride in keeping a clean, organized space and making sure your children are always safe, happy, and well cared for.

Hi there! I'm excited to offer my services as a sitter, bringing extensive experience with kids, animals, and special needs children.

I am a good person to be a caregiver for your children because I love working with kids and playing with them and I have a bit of experience because I volunteer in my church and I work with kids all the time of all ages 1 to 13. I feel like I’m really good with kids.

Alexa 4 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, patient, and lively nanny with more than five years of experience working with families, and I’ve always loved being around kids. I focus on making sure children have fun, are well-structured, safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I believe in being competent, consistent, setting age-appropriate limits, being creative, and playing. I stay calm when things get hectic, manage busy schedules, and build strong connections with both children and parents. My time with over 30 animal rescues and fostering more than 300 dogs has really honed my patience, attention to detail, and ability to handle energetic situations.

“I can highly reccommend Alexa for nannying, babysitting and pet sitting. Alexa was my babysitter for my daughter for over a year. She was always on time, thoughtful with activities and mindful of my needs for my daughter. She always made herself available, even on short notice. She was my daughter’s favorite babysitter and we were so sad to lose her when a move separated us. She also took care of my senior dog anytime I needed her. My dog adored Alexa and was always thrilled to go to her home. She was always loved and well taken care of, not to mentioned spoiled rotten!”

Katie $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been working in early childhood education since 2012, and love being a part of nurturing and growing along with the little ones whom I'm privileged enough to teach and interact with. I enjoy working alongside parents, caregivers, and peers to facilitate learning through play, keeping in mind age-appropriate activities and developmental milestones. With extensive experience in both an educational and in-home settings, I am both flexible and adaptable to a family's needs. Aside from my career, I also enjoy singing, cooking, and time with loved ones.

"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."
