Hello parents! My experience spans from babies to teenagers and I have been working with kids as a nanny and babysitter for 8 years. I have a degree in Business Analytics from the University of Maryland and I’m looking for occasional babysitting jobs. While babysitting, I enjoy playing, reading, going to parks and libraries, exploring kids’ imagination/creativity, and having fun! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!
Hi families! I’m Edina, but I go by Edie! I’m in the process of becoming a special education teacher, and working with children is truly my passion. I’m very active, fun, and love taking kids to the playground, doing pretend play, reading, and other engaging activities. I also love creating spaces where kids feel seen, heard, safe, and encouraged to be themselves. I have handled many routines such as bedtime, evenings and afternoons. I’m currently studying Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education at Salisbury University. I’m trained in advanced childcare and certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. I don’t drive but I’m super comfortable taking Metro, MetroBus and Lyft. I’ve worked with a few wonderful families on UrbanSitter and would love to connect with more this season for date nights, evenings, and afternoons. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and fun sitter, feel free to reach out or send me a booking request!
“Edina was great! When another sitter canceled, she responded quickly and arrived early for instructions. She played soccer in the backyard, got to kids fed and bathed and our 4 & 7 year old had the best time with her!”
Hi! My name is Claire, and I'm a recent college graduate from Columbia University. I love working with kids, and have been tutoring, babysitting, and volunteering as a camp counselor since I was 14 years old. I've worked with youth of all ages, from kindergarteners to high schoolers, for about ten years. I am currently an English tutor and volunteer mentor to refugee high school students with the International Rescue Committee. I consider myself a friendly person who loves reading bedtime stories and crafting. I'm more than happy to help with homework as well. While I'm not a native speaker, I was a Spanish tutor in high school and would be happy to help little ones with introductory level language practice. I'm also more than happy to help care for any furry friends or elderly loved ones you have at home. I look forward to meeting you! Update: Hi everyone, thank you to all the lovely families with whom I have had the joy of working during my time in DC! I will be moving to New York in June to begin a new job, so I unfortunately will only be able to take on one-time jobs over the next month for families in DC. Thank you!
“Claire was great! Our daughter kept talking about her the next day. ”
Hi, I’m Janelle! I’m looking for occasional babysitting hours on weekday evenings or weekends. I have extensive experience babysitting toddlers and older children as well as experience with children under 1. I spent five years teaching swim lessons to kids from ages 2-8 years old and coaching a summer swim team with kids from 4-18 years old. I love caring for kids!
Hi! My name is Gayatri and I'm a babysitter with ~10 of experience with children ages 1 - 14. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics and Creative Writing from UNC Chapel Hill (class of 2014) and currently work in Georgetown in branding / communications for non-profits and foundations. In my free time I like to read, write fiction, and cook! I love babysitting because it's fun -- I love getting to know children over games, arts and crafts, homework, and playing with their friends. I have experience working with boys and girls and enjoy babysitting actual babies as well as older school-age children :) I'm looking forward to meeting your family!
“Our nine-year-old son had a great time with Gayatri! We'd definitely hire her again.”

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
