Eliana $23 per hour for 1 child
I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, have fun, and feel safe. It makes me happy to support their growth and create positive experiences for them. I am a qualified teacher and I have experience working with children of different ages in educational settings and childcare. I have also worked as a babysitter, caring for children, organizing activities, and helping with daily routines. I have strong communication skills, patience, creativity, and responsibility. I enjoy planning fun activities such as arts and crafts, storytelling, educational games, outdoor play, music, dancing, and creative learning activities based on each child’s age. I can also help with routines and provide a safe and caring environment for children. I am available on weekends.

Katherine $20 per hour for 1 child
I've been babysitting for 8 years and have worked in education related childcare for the past 3 years, including with children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and/or autism. I'm CPR and basic first aid certified for infants, children, and adults. Currently, I'm in my 2nd year at American University. I work with Teach For America tutoring 4th and 5th grade math (I'm always happy to help with homework, math or otherwise) and have worked in before school care since high school. In addition, I teach swim lessons at a local swim school and have been instructing for 2 years. I'm happy to work with kids of any age! I pride myself on empathetic problem solving and flexibility. I would describe myself as patient, energetic, and child-centered. I'm excited to meet your family and lend a hand!
Abigail $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Abigail and I am currently a full-time undergraduate student at American University. I will graduate in May 2026 with a degree in Justice and Law and a minor in Spanish language. I have experience working with children of all ages. I've worked as an au pair overseas with a child with autism and down syndrome. I've also been an au pair for an infant so I am comfortable with babies as well. I worked for some years at a martial arts school assisting children ages 4-17. I have tutored a class before and am comfortable with any school work assistance needed. I know CPR and was previously certified. And I am fluent in Spanish. As for pet care, I've had all sorts of animals my entire life and would love to watch any pet you have with the upmost care. I am comfortable watching dogs, cats, small rodents, fish, reptiles, etc. I love all animals! I am kind and patient and would love for you to consider me as your future caretaker! Please do not hesitate to reach out.

"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."
