⸻ 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.”

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, my name is Allison and I'm currently working at a local bakery. I'm offering childcare and pet care, with light household services up for discussion. I have been watching children from newborn to elementary school age since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included meal prep, bedtime routines, outside and park play, assisting with organizing kid's rooms and toys, reading time, and general playtime. I am happy to work with families with dogs or cats.
“Allison is great to work with! We have hired her multiple times. She is friendly and kind, working hard to engage the kids. ”

"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."
