Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC
Hi! My name is Srinidhi and I recently graduated from Vanderbilt with my master's in Mental Health Counseling. I've worked with kids ages 3-15 in all arenas from daycare to tutoring and summer camps. I have 1 year of private babysitting experience (plus 7 years of auntie babysitting experience!) and am excited to provide a safe environment for your kiddo(s)! My experience as a mental health professional and as a babysitter allow me to make sure kiddos are having fun, staying safe, and successfully getting through everything from meal times to brushing their teeth. I also have 5 years of experience as a private tutor and am happy to help your student with any homework difficulties they may be facing. Thanks for reading all the way through, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi - My name is Emma and I'm offering childcare, pet services, and household services. I have babysat ages 6 months-13 years since I was 16 and I worked as a camp counselor for several years. I work in the science and space sector and enjoy sharing space facts along with conducting science experiments! I was also a studio art minor in college, so I love doing arts and crafts with kids. I grew up with two cats and two dogs that I adore and miss very much, so I am happy to care for any animals — the more the merrier! I am also offering household services, including cleaning and organizing.
“We’ve had a great experience with her. She’s extremely professional, always punctual, and immediately connected with our kids — ages 11, 3, and 5 months. She keeps each of them engaged at their level, handles routines smoothly, and we feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Highly recommend.”

⸻ Hi! I just graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. I’ve been babysitting on and off for the past seven years and love working with kids of all ages (and pets too!). I’m easygoing, funny, and always up for a good game, craft, or kitchen adventure. Cooking’s one of my favorite hobbies, and I can’t wait to explore DC! I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and positive environment wherever I go!
“I used Genevieve for household services. We were away from our house for 3 weeks and needed her to come twice a week to house sit - taking care of plants, bringing in the mail, etc. She followed the directions to a tee and even went above and beyond to think ahead such as accounting for extreme weather conditions. Genevieve had great communication throughout the entire duration. She was very dependable and someone you can definitely trust. I had a great experience overall and highly recommend her.”

Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC
Hi! My name is Saira. I have been a babysitter since I was 15 years old, so taking care of children has always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for children from 3 months to 10 years old. I love creating fun and creative activities where children can learn, explore, and be themselves. I enjoy supporting them as they discover new things, encouraging their creativity and curiosity, while also helping them with their daily routines. Most importantly, I want every child to feel heard, valued, and confident as they grow. I am a patient, responsible, caring, and honest person. I am very organized and value clear and open communication. I also deeply respect each family’s parenting style and routines, and I am always happy to work together with parents to make sure their children feel safe, loved, and supported.
“Saira was on time and our 6-month-old and 3-year-old seemed immediately comfortable when she arrived and she jumped right into playing with them. She got our baby to sleep for the night and got our toddler ready for bed and read books with him before bed. At the end of the night our toddler went over to give her a big hug and told us he wanted to play with her again! ”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
