I have 3 amazing kids and I’ve been a stay at home Mom for 10 years and now with all of my children in school I would like to find some weekend work. I’m also open to working during the week while they are in school, but my hours would be very limited during the week. Willing to work long hours on the weekends. Thank you
Hi, my name is Sarajah I am a sophomore in college and I am located in Delaware. I have experience working with family and friends children from infants to adolescence. I love children and can provide excellent care and fun activities. I am cpr certified, observant, cheerful, and patient.
About Me: Hi! My name is Trezoir, and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently a college student at Delaware State University, majoring in Music Industry and Psychology. I’ve always enjoyed helping others, especially children, and I love creating fun, engaging, and safe experiences for them. Services I Offer: I provide child care and pet care services. I have 4–5 years of childcare experience and 4–5 years of animal care experience (I’m comfortable around pets of all kinds!). Child Care Experience: I’ve worked with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, helping them with daily routines, playtime, and light learning activities. I enjoy spending time doing arts and crafts, outdoor play, music and dancing, and reading together. Activities I Enjoy With Children: • Creative projects like painting, coloring, and crafts • Singing and dancing (especially since I study music!) • Outdoor fun such as park trips, sidewalk chalk, and sports • Reading and story time • Helping with homework or basic tutoring when needed Special Skills & Talents: • Tutoring and homework help in basic subjects • Cooking and preparing kid-friendly meals/snacks • Artistic and musical activities (I love to introduce kids to music and creativity!) • Strong communication and patience skills, especially with younger children Certifications/Training: While I’m not currently certified, I have hands-on experience through years of babysitting for families and volunteering with children and also working at summer camps. I’m also open to completing CPR or First Aid certification if needed. Why I Babysit: Babysitting is something I truly enjoy doing in my free time. It allows me to continue learning about child development while gaining experience that will help me in my future psychology career. I take pride in being caring, responsible, and trustworthy — someone parents can count on and kids can have fun with!
Hi! My name is Deyona, and I have hands-on experience in childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I’ve worked with families of all ages, providing reliable, compassionate care that’s tailored to each individual’s needs. Whether it’s caring for children, assisting seniors with daily tasks, looking after pets, or helping maintain a clean and organized home, I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and trustworthy. I genuinely enjoy helping others and creating a safe, comfortable environment for the people (and pets!) I care for.
Hello parents! My name is Annie- a native of the D.C. area, I live in Baltimore, have family in Silver Spring, and commute to NW D.C. so I’m happy to pick up jobs anywhere in the area! What I bring to the table: •Nearly 20 years of experience with childcare and household management for preschool-to-high school aged kids and families. I was with my previous family for 14 years and have been with my current family since 2019. •Intuitive and fast thinking- I am able to quickly troubleshoot situations and navigate decisions without handholding. Fixing problems before they become problems. •Almost spotless driving record (one camera ticket in the last few years), plus a squeaky clean criminal record. I am very comfortable driving, navigating rush hour, parallel parking, etc. I have my own transportation. •Funny, down to earth, and strong in my convictions- would like to work with a family on the same wavelength. •I love to cook and am familiar with many different cuisines. Comfortable in kosher, vegetarian/vegan, and gluten-free/allergy kitchens. •Happy to work with families and kids of all types! LGBTQ+, polyam, gnc, families and kids welcome. The downsides: •I am only available for occasional or as-needed work. I currently work part-time with a rolling schedule so I have decent availability but cannot commit to a set schedule. •I am a night owl and prefer to work afternoons and evenings. Late nights are not a problem. •Funny, down to earth, and strong in my convictions- so I’m unfortunately not willing to work with folks whose values don’t match my own :) When not corralling kids, I am in the garden (or planning next year’s garden), elbow deep in dyeing yarn, at my weaving loom with a podcast on, or watching local music. Catch me at your local maker’s market 🧶 Hope to her from you soon!
“Arrived on time. Our toddler immediately enjoyed playing with Annie. Great experience for parents and child.”

"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
