Hi! I’m Danielle. I’m certified in Anxiety Counseling and have been coaching kids and adults to incorporate wellness practices daily. I’m the proud author of the children’s book; Hugging Olivia. I’ve been providing childcare in the local DMV area since 2019 and have loved to see these little ones grow up.

Danielle is extremely reliable, energetic and great with children. We had a great experience working with her - she is a great cook and was super sweet with my 2 year old son.

Hello I'm Olivia! I am a child care provider, a mother, and currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I have professional experience working with a wide range of age groups. I worked with infants and toddlers for 2 years for the Department of the Army Child and Youth Services. I am currently working with school-aged children as a social work intern at a MD public high school, and previously taught math and reading interventions in a MD public elementary school.

Olivia was great with our 19 month old, she was punctual and did really well with making sure our daughter had a day full of fun activities.

I have loved caring for children for as long as I can remember, and with over 15 years of experience, supporting and nurturing kids has become a true passion of mine. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, which has strengthened my ability to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a Certified Medication Technician (CMT), giving families added confidence in my skills and reliability. I am dedicated to creating a positive, engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. While I plan to further my education in the future, I am currently focused on doing what I love most working closely with children and being a dependable, caring presence in their lives.

Hello! My name is Bitania (Bee-tan-ya) and I would be happy to help any family in need of a caring sitter! I have experience caring for infants and children below the age of 13 from taking care of my little cousins and younger brother (since birth). I worked in my church's nursery for 4 years, which had children aged 1-8 years old. I love to get creative and make games/activities for the kids I care for. I am energetic and can keep up with kid’s high energy! I am currently working in child life and development and have been trained to do activities with babies that support their mental development and physical growth. I am also CPR certified and was trained as an emergency medical responder. I am a recent college graduate and can assist with homework assignments or tutoring! I have no problem preparing meals and helping with a bed/bath routine as well. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and don't mind wearing a mask in the house if that's your preference. Thank you for reading my intro :).

Nina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi mom/dad! A little about me: I've been a caretaker for my younger brother for his whole life pretty much haha along with extended family members' children. I have experience taking care of children aged 0-13 for over. As for pets, I owned a few German shepherds growing up and loved and cared for them deeply, also fostered a bichon frise for a few months in 2022 and it was some of the best few months of my life! Adore animals with all my heart, especially dogs! Did not grow up with cats, but I do not shy away from giving them cuddles when given the chance. Love bunnies too! I'm also a rising junior in college working on personal projects and classes along with some free time on my hands, so availability for babysitting is fairly flexible during the week. A few hobbies of mine: going on road trips either with friends, trying out new places to eat, and thrifting. I'm always available for a video call so we can get to know each other and see whether we are a good fit for each other!

"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."
