Greetings Families! I am Chanelle and I recently moved to Washington, D.C. from Atlanta, GA. I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2015 with a major in Psychology but have been taking care of others for as long as I can remember. During my time in Atlanta, I've provided professional child and homecare for over 25 different families, learning and loving a wide variety of children, parents, animals, and homes! Since my time in DC, I’ve cared for 20+ families and their homes. My network of families increases due to raving referrals via excellent care provided by my child and home care services. This means I can leave families with ZERO doubt that their loved ones and items are thoughtfully cared for while they are handling daunting tasks/errands, attending important school meetings and appointments, or enjoying their weekends and nights out. I enjoy providing parents with a stress-free sitting arrangement, but mainly interacting and enjoying the time with their little ones. I hope to join your sitter network and family dynamic soon!
“Chanelle is absolutely terrific. She is warm, fun and inviting with my son, and she also lets him have space as he is getting to know her. She has a very loving and gentle way, and was also willing to help out with some house and kitchen tasks, which was much appreciated! Highly recommend Chanelle!”
Hi! My name is Shannon and I’ve been in DC for 6 years. I offer babysitting services for families and at a local church nursery. I’ve always loved kids and have 3 nieces and 1 nephew. I love playing games with them and going to park whenever I am back home and spent a lot of time with them before moving to DC. I started babysitting in high school and also worked at a local gym in their Kid Zone. There, I’d create and lead crafts, organize games, and maintain and safe and fun environment. At the church nursery, I usually babysit kids under 2 years old. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages.
Hi! My name is Megan I have several years of babysitting experience with children of all ages. I graduated from Tulane in 2015 and have lived in the DC area ever since. I have a full time job at a nonprofit so can usually only babysit in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to help with any cooking and cleaning if needed! I also have a car so can drive to suburbs outside of D.C. Please let me know if you have any questions!
“Megan was wonderful! She accepted the job last minute and jumped right in with my three kids. The next day they all agreed she was “so nice” and asked if she could come back again!”
Hello, my name is Michelle and I’ve taken care of kids since the end of my high school year. What I most like about babysitting is the environment the child makes by being creative and learning from each thing they do and it’s basically never a dull moment. My motive is to help out parents and give them a fresh start each day when coming back home from work. I also have experience with newborns. I am a recent college graduate and soon to transferring to University to get my bachelors degree.
I would love to use my free time to babysit for your children. I have babysat on and off for years, and love all ages of kids - from playing games with toddlers, to helping older children with their homework. I am not afraid to get down and dirty with the kids, or discipline them when needed. I hope to hear from you and your family soon!
“Amazing, thank you!”

"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."
