Hi! My name is Monica, and I am a babysitter with several years of experience. I have cared for children between the ages of 1 and 10. My responsibilities have included walking children to and from school, playing games, reading together, and supporting evening routines, among other tasks. I have also worked with children in educational settings. During the academic year, I work full-time as a high school educator. I am currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy spending time with dogs, reading, and running. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish for families interested in supporting dual-language learning.
“Monica is lovely! The kids really enjoyed playing games with her, they went to bed on time, too :-) Happy to have Monica babysit again!”
Hi! My name is Azucena, but you can call me Suzy. I have over 7 years of experience providing child care for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I began babysitting in 2016, starting with an agency before transitioning to caring for families on a part-time basis and helping out on date nights. My past responsibilities have included school and summer camp pick-ups, as well as homework help. I’m a big fan of arts and crafts and love playing board games! I’m currently available for occasional babysitting and date nights, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. Looking forward to connecting!
Graduate from University of Maryland and currently working at Georgetown University (9-5). I am a very sociable, active and caring individual. I would give all of my attention to your child to make sure they are safe and having fun. My previous experience working with children ranges from infants to teenagers. I began babysitting when I was 14 years old. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.
Hello! My name is Natalie. I started babysitting when I was in middle school and volunteered in my church to watch children. In high school, I took child growth and development courses and volunteered in schools. I worked at daycares, home childcare, and a private school. I have worked with ages from newborn to 12 years of age. I am CPR certified, CDA certified, college courses and additional training in breastfeeding, ADA, etc. . I’m currently pursuing my degree and my dream is to start a nonprofit organization that will help families and children across the world and open a postpartum center for women in need. I am currently an early childhood educator and I enjoy working with all ages. I love to read and write durning my free time. I also like to try new foods and go to new places. I am a mother to a joyful 4 year old and love to take him on adventures. My passion is teaching children and watching them grow and they inspire me everyday.

"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."
