I am here to fill in the gaps, occasionally acting as a mother’s helper, and fully vaccinated! 20 + years of experience as a nanny/caregiver, who is BLS/CPR Certified with additional certifications to serve in healthcare. With that being said, I am superb at multitasking with kids of all ages, including pre-mature, middle school age, and teenagers in addition to having more than one child in my care. Major help is provided with meal preps, for example, breakfast, lunch, and dinner including assistance with homework assignments, projects, if necessary. Parents, my job is to make your daily plus and I am open to driving kids to and from activities in family cars. I am very passionate about my job, which leads to me being very reliable, loyal, humble, dedicated, trustworthy which initially helpful to have honest open communication with both parents. I love to teach, discipline, and interact with the kids at all times, with lots of patience. Priorities are to be discussed with parents, to make sure that I meet each and everyone needs at all given times, for example: making sure the kids environment are always safe, favorite activities, bed routines, allergy reaction, and if any medication is needed to be administered at my present time...Parents, if you are looking for a fun, respectable, responsible, reliable, humble trustworthy caregiver! Remember, I am here for you! Why?? To make your life routine with childcare a bit more relaxing and stress-free!

Hi! My name is Sara, and I am a behavior therapist supervisor working with kids with autism full time during the week. I have worked with children with and without special needs for over 15 years now. I have a masters in early childhood special education, and my BCBA, but I have experience babysitting and working with infants-adults. Thanks for your time, and please let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi, I’m Sandra, About me: I’m originally from Colombia and an engineer by profession. Back home, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for one year. I moved to DC with a scholarship for an internship and decided to stay after completing it. During my 18-month internship, I also worked as an afternoon babysitter and built a wonderful relationship with the family—I’m still in touch with them. Since then, I’ve supported different families during summer and spring, and many continue to reach out for occasional babysitting. I love caring for children, bringing positive energy to play and learning, and adapting to new routines while also sharing what I’ve learned through my own experience. Experience: I have 5 years of experience with children, from newborns to 5-year-olds. I also helped care for my twin relatives until they were 2 years old, and I spent 3 months in Australia as a live-in nanny for a newborn and a toddler. Strengths: I am patient, respectful, kind, and reliable. I bring energy and creativity, enjoy outdoor activities, and I’m always open to feedback and happy to offer extra support when needed. I’ll be glad to share more about myself and provide references. I have a valid driver’s license and my own transportation. Warm regards, Sandra ❤️ Availability & Preferences: Different Times. Weekends: Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
“Sandra is punctual, attentive, responsive, and has a great rapport with my 4 year old son and 9 month old baby daughter. I look forward to hiring her again ”
Hi! My name is Bryn, I’m 25 and a registered nurse in the ICU at Georgetown Hospital. I’m CPR certified and previously volunteered as an EMT. I have a car and clean driving record, passed a background check and drug test for work, and of course am fully vaccinated. I grew up (and still live) in Arlington and I have been babysitting in this area since high school. I joined Urban Sitter since all those kids are older now! I spent two summers as a nanny here, working with a 3 year old and then a set of 6 year old twins. I was also a lifeguard and have coached youth basketball and ultimate frisbee. I have a younger brother with ADHD and have spent many hours tutoring him. I have a math background (majored in statistics at UVA) but also love reading and writing, so I’m always happy to help with any homework. While babysitting, I enjoy doing crafts, reading, board/card games, and playing outside when the weather is nice. I adore all pets and don’t mind helping out with walking or feeding. I also always make sure to clean up after meals, activities, etc. Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you!!

"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
