I graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology in 2016. I am very passionate about helping people improve their lives and hope to go back to school for social work or forensic psychology. I have 2 nephews and 1 niece that I watch for my older brother, and they are the light of my life! When I have them for extended periods of time I try to make a set schedule of activities to keep them busy and set meals. I also used to be a YMCA Summer Camp counselor in college work with children in kindergarten and enjoyed every minute of it! I am CPR certified! I like to play piano and I love love love podcasts! I have 1 year puppy named Rosie who I absolutely adore! Please reach out if you have any questions!
“Abria was wonderful! Definitely will hire again”
Hi, my name is Andrea and I have experience working with children from newborn on up, in a variety of settings. I've worked as a babysitter over the years, as an after school teacher for 2nd-3rd graders, been a middle school cheer coach, and I've also worked as a sitter working at large events caring for children from newborn-middle school age. I am warm, compassionate, selfless and have a very big heart- especially for children. I enjoy a variety of activities with children and always do my best to omit or limit screen time so we can interact and engage instead.
“Andrea has been taking care of our kids for years, and has become like another member of our family. The kids love playing with her. She is so sweet and kind with our children, and appropriately firm when necessary. And when she cooks for the kids, coming home to a tidied kitchen is a bonus. Can't recommend her enough.”
Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.
“Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.”
I love kids of all ages & have a lot of patience. I’ve been a nanny, babysitter, & gymnastics teacher. I’m currently in nursing school specifically wanting to be a pediatric nurse. I have a flexible schedule, drive my own car, CPR certified, & overall know how to bring a smile to a kid.
Hi! I'm Dee, and I've worked at Takoma Park Child Development Center for nearly 5 years. I have experience caring for children ages 2 through school age and love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can learn and thrive. I'm patient, dependable, and enjoy keeping children engaged with games, crafts, outdoor play, reading, and other age-appropriate activities. I look forward to providing reliable, loving care and making sure your little ones are happy, safe, and having fun!

"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
