Hello! My name is Allie and I am a rising Senior at American University interning in DC over the summer! I have experience babysitting and pet sitting in the past, and would love the opportunity to do this again! Other notable experiences include being a campus peer-facilitator where I learned how to create fun activities for freshman to help them learn more about their introductory class. I am highly motivated and love to be around kids!
I have worked with children since 2022 as an aftercare teacher and summer camp teacher at an elementary school, supporting kids ages 2–6. I regularly managed groups of 6–12 children with some help from other teachers, creating a safe and engaging environment. Before moving to D.C., I babysat for two families with children ages 3–14. I am also experienced with house sitting and pet sitting as needed.
Hello, I am a babysitter with many years of experience. Not only do I have experience taking care of kids, I’ve also taught kids in after school programming. With me you do not have to worry! Your kids will be entertained, treated with kindness, and happy to see you when you return home.
Hi! I’m Aaj, a 20 year old junior currently studying at American University. I’m offering childcare services. I love being with children - my mother has run a preschool for the past 21 years, and I spent many years volunteering and interning with her, as a TA in classes and organizing Sports Days. I have also been involved in numerous charities that work with impoverished children in Nepal, where I used to run weekly activities that benefit early childhood development (reading/writing, arts and crafts, sports etc.). I have also completed an Early Childhood Montessori Education program, as a supplemental to my time at the preschool. I grew up with 5 dogs, and I love all sorts of pets!
Hello families! My name is Claire Guthrie. I am currently living in Idaho, but will be moving to D.C. in June for school. I am going to school for early childhood development, I will be doing classes online and will be attending part time. I am looking for an amazing family to work for as a nanny. I have about 1 1/2 years of experience at a daycare. I worked mostly with toddlers and infants but got a ton of experience with school age children as well. I currently work as a nanny for 18 month old twin boys. I’ve been working with them for 14 months, and enjoyed every moment of it. It breaks my heart to leave, but I need to further my career and get an education. I need to work full time to keep up with living expenses and ask for at least $25 an hour considering I am living by myself, and going to school as well. I am also open to date nights and other babysitting jobs as well! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Thanks, Claire

"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
