Hello, my name is Michelle and I’ve taken care of kids since the end of my high school year. What I most like about babysitting is the environment the child makes by being creative and learning from each thing they do and it’s basically never a dull moment. My motive is to help out parents and give them a fresh start each day when coming back home from work. I also have experience with newborns. I am a recent college graduate and soon to transferring to University to get my bachelors degree.
Greetings Families! I am Chanelle and I recently moved to Washington, D.C. from Atlanta, GA. I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2015 with a major in Psychology but have been taking care of others for as long as I can remember. During my time in Atlanta, I've provided professional child and homecare for over 25 different families, learning and loving a wide variety of children, parents, animals, and homes! Since my time in DC, I’ve cared for 20+ families and their homes. My network of families increases due to raving referrals via excellent care provided by my child and home care services. This means I can leave families with ZERO doubt that their loved ones and items are thoughtfully cared for while they are handling daunting tasks/errands, attending important school meetings and appointments, or enjoying their weekends and nights out. I enjoy providing parents with a stress-free sitting arrangement, but mainly interacting and enjoying the time with their little ones. I hope to join your sitter network and family dynamic soon!
“Chanelle is absolutely terrific. She is warm, fun and inviting with my son, and she also lets him have space as he is getting to know her. She has a very loving and gentle way, and was also willing to help out with some house and kitchen tasks, which was much appreciated! Highly recommend Chanelle!”
Hi! My name is Megan I have several years of babysitting experience with children of all ages. I graduated from Tulane in 2015 and have lived in the DC area ever since. I have a full time job at a nonprofit so can usually only babysit in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to help with any cooking and cleaning if needed! I also have a car so can drive to suburbs outside of D.C. Please let me know if you have any questions!
“Megan was wonderful! She accepted the job last minute and jumped right in with my three kids. The next day they all agreed she was “so nice” and asked if she could come back again!”
As a philosophy and English major at Howard University, I bring a unique blend of intellectual curiosity and communication skills to the table. My experience as a debate coach for middle schoolers at DC Prep showcases my ability to guide and mentor young minds. Additionally, my role in caring for my 4 younger siblings, aged 18 months to 17 years old, along with four years of dedicated care for my infant cousins, highlights my nurturing nature. This extensive background in childcare, coupled with my college studies, demonstrates a well-rounded skill set for the role of your child Or children baby sitter. My natural patience and emphasis on communication further underscore my suitability, making me an ideal candidate to ensure a safe and enriching environment for children under my care.

"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."
