Yanae $26 per hour for 1 child
My name is Yanae. I’m 26 years old and currently work as a preschool teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, where I’ve grown into roles such as mentor, staff leader, and Lead Teacher. I’m passionate about working with children and supporting the development of both students and fellow educators. I have my degree in psychology and I am CPR certified. I also have experience working with a variety of age groups, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. When I babysit, I focus on providing more one-on-one attention, engaging children in different activities and creating meaningful interactions throughout the time we spend together. In my free time, I enjoy nature walks and reading.
Vanessa $25 per hour for 1 child
I am a 48 year old married individual who recently relocated to DC with my husband and dog! I am a patient advocate and speaker and I’m currently going back to school to get another degree — MPH in healthcare leadership. I love kids and have been around children of all ages my whole life. My husband have been like second parents to our godkids since before they were born. Because we were unable to have kids we have become the go to sitters for many friends and family members. As for the aging population — I am comfortable with them as well. My mom is 81 years old and I have travelled all over the world with her and help her in a variety of ways. I am also a great cook and a trained opera singer — fun facts! You can learn more about me at[removed] I am looking for some local jobs to help while I am working on my latest degree!

"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."
