I finished LPN (Licenced Practical Nurse). I have years of experiences working with an infant, toddler, and school aged children. Kids are adorable. I don't have my own, but I have several nieces and nephews I babysit and love as my own kids. I love my family so much, they're my everything.
“Laurelle was such a lovely lady and wonderful caregiver. She was promptly on time and immediately engaged with my 4 month old. Laurelle was comfortable with my lab mix, Lincoln and I was happy to leave my little family in her hands. Hopefully she will be available the next time I need help as she is incredibly kind and got along amazingly well with my little one.”
Hi! I work for DC Public Library and have been working in libraries for over 7 years now and I love it! I'm happy to get back to sitting occasionally to spend time engaging in fun activities like park visits, imaginative play, reading, kid-friendly cooking, and music/art! I don't have kids of my own so getting to spend time and care for others is a joy and privilege that I don't take for granted. I enjoy being a caregiver and sharing the present moment with kids. It feels less like work and more like an escape from my daily routine! My schedule varies as I work every other weekend and one full weekend a month (both Saturday and Sunday). I also have Thursday mornings off if anyone needs help then! I've worked with children aged 1 to 12 and infants (3 months+) locally since 2011. Before DC, I went abroad to au pair for a family with two young children (2 and 4 years old when I arrived). My duties have included: Meal prep/ Feeding (bottles, babyfood etc.) Light housekeeping Drop offs/ Pick ups Caring for sick toddlers and infants Medicine Adminstration Activities and Outings Supervision and chaperoning in various settings (home and away) Tutoring and homework help Help caring for pets (dogs and cats) My longest full-time childcare job was working abroad as an au pair. I stayed with the family for over a year and a half, working afternoons, all day Wednesday (off-school day), and the occasional evening, weekend, or vacation sitting.
“Aimee connected with our girls right away. She was on-time, and had great communication throughout. Would definitely recommend!”
Hello! My name is Kayla. Please read my profile before booking to see if I and my policies are a good fit for your family, as I am only accepting ad hoc care needs and not currently looking to add a scheduled position :) I am an elementary school teacher and love it! Before going back to school for elementary and special education, I was a nanny for a decade. I worked with a family of three for (newborn - middle school) for eight year and was responsible for the children’s full-day schedule during the week, planning outings, working on academic skills, etc. I worked for another family during the pandemic, educating twins through first and second grade. In addition to nannying, I have babysat for hundreds of families in the DMV with loads of experience from the newborn stage through the teenage years. I have done many date nights, full days, overnights and full weeks. I always plan and bring fun activities (games, crafts, science experiments, sensory play, baking, etc) based on the child’s stage of development and interests to ensure we have the best time. If applicable, I make time outside and/or outings a priority. About me: I teach upper elementary school and love it. My focuses are making learning fun and relevant to my students, social emotional learning, and growth mindset. Outside of work I enjoy experiencing all life has to offer and fill my days as much as possible: local sporting events, museums, hiking, camping, golfing, tennis/pickleball, board games and puzzles, historical and cultural activites, cooking/baking things from scratch, and reading/book clubs. Each year I strive to accomplish 1,000 hours outside, 60 games played and 70 books read. I am married (no children) and spend a lot time with my nieces and nephews. Policy: -Four hour minimum. -Hours booked will be charged. -For overnights totaling more than 25 hours, I charge sleeping hours at 1/2 rate. -First cancellation without charge; 50% of booking fee for each cancellation thereafter.
“Amazing sitter! She was prompt, communicative, very engaging with our daughter, brought her own fun activities, got them to bed expertly, and wrote down a summary of the evening for us. Wish she lived in NYC!!!”
Hi parents! My name is Shirley, I’m 26 years old and currently working as a Registered Nurse in D.C! I babysat all throughout nursing school and hope to continue to occasionally do so. When it comes to experience I have cared for infants as young as newborn to middle school aged children. I have also cared for multiple kids at one time including multiple infants and toddlers at a time. In high school I volunteered at a recreation center for 5 months working with 4-5th graders in an after school program where I helped with homework and setting up activities. I have taken some child development classes and am aware of the appropriate milestones, activities and communication needed for kids of different age groups. I speak fluent Spanish and am also willing to teach your kids as well if that is something you would be interested in! I strive to always provide a positive and memorable caring experience for you and your children and would be more than happy to answer any other questions or concerns you may have for me! *CPR/BLS certified* *All bookings with me must be made through urbansitter due to safety concerns*
“Shirley watched our son for a date night. She was on time, courteous and flexible with her time. Our son was already asleep, so not much to say on that front but I would hire her to watch him in the future. ”
