Hi, My name is Nyeasha and I am a graduate of East Carolina University with a degree in English and a minor in Child Pedagogy. I have been in childcare since I was young. The ages of the children that I have taken care of range from infancy to 11 years. I currently work at a Law Firm during the day so my availability is limited to nights and weekends. I hope to hear from you soon :) -Nyeasha
“Nyeasha is so nice - our 4 year old was immediately comfortable with her and had a good time!”

I would love to use my free time to babysit for your children. I have babysat on and off for years, and love all ages of kids - from playing games with toddlers, to helping older children with their homework. I am not afraid to get down and dirty with the kids, or discipline them when needed. I hope to hear from you and your family soon!
“Amazing, thank you!”

My name is Lucy and I work part-time for the education department of a local theater! I'm passionate about children's education, and studied psychology and English at the College of William and Mary. I love kids and have been babysitting since I was 12! I'm also a teacher-- I'm teaching a weekly theater class for toddlers this winter, and various summer camps for three different age groups during the summer. I have over 10 years of experience working with children to develop confidence, imagination, and verbal skills. I'm happy to help with household chores. I also love animals, though I hope you won't hold it against me that I'm a cat person!
“Lucy was an amazing sitter, both kind and willing to jump into whatever three-year-old nonsense came to mind. My daughter truly enjoyed having her visit -- high praise!”

Hello! My name is Jessica and I am a Midwest native who has happily made a home in Washington, DC for the last 14 years. I am a cat mom to a 4 year old cat Winnie and have grown up with family dogs since the age of 6. I am the youngest of three daughters and am a very lucky aunt to four nieces from the ages of 3-8 years old. I am very fortunate to be close with my family and to get to spend time caring and shaping my nieces. Outside of family, I have experience as a babysitter during all four years of my college experience at American University, ranging from afterschool care for 2+ kids to babysitting during evenings or weekends, assisting with meals, playtime, and homework. In addition, I often pet sit for friends and neighbors, helping with play time, getting in walks, feeding, and litter box cleaning. I would love to connect and see if I am the right fit to care for your kids or animals!
“Jessica was delightful! She arrived early, was pleasant and professional, and jumped right in with the kids. Definitely would recommend her!”

Hi families! 😊 I first came to the U.S. as an Au Pair and cared for wonderful children from June 2019 to December 2023 Since then, I’ve continued working full-time as a nanny for infants and toddlers in the D.C. area, supporting families with daily routines, developmental play, and bilingual learning. I also take on occasional evening, weekend and holidays babysitting for local families. I’m very patient, kind, and reliable, also I truly enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and happy. I’m a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, and understand Portuguese well — so I’m happy to support bilingual families! I’m currently looking for a full time job and occasional babysitting opportunities and love working with families who value kindness, communication, and trust. Looking forward to meeting you! 💛 Mirian
“Mirian was AMAZING! She filled in last minute to take care of my dog Aspen. She was very communicative and flexible. Highly recommend!”

"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."
