Alyson $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! If you are seeking a seasoned, kind, compassionate and highly intuitive caregiver, you have come to the right profile! My background in professional theater, education and special education have honed my innate talents in connecting with and providing positive and enriching experiences for the children and young adults with whom I have worked. My charges have included many children who are neurodiverse including those with Autism. I'm fit, active and energetic with "fun Auntie" or "cool (young) G-ma" vibes. But I'm also a more type B, caregiver who would be perfect for a child that needs a bit more of a nurturing presence rather than just a playmate. I also adore Dogs and am available to care for SMALL dogs.
Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a consultant living and working in Northern Virginia. I have experience babysitting children through my college town in Vermont and while growing up in Central Florida. I speak English and Korean fluently, can cook and clean efficiently, and I am very detail-oriented. I also do CrossFit, run, and played collegiate golf. I am committed to providing attentive care that meets the needs of your loved ones! I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, and would happily babysit in households with pets and children or outright watch either. I am also CPR certified!

I'm a middle school teacher in the Georgetown neighborhood and living in Courthouse. I can also help with tutoring and have 5 years of experience as a math tutor at the middle school level. Being a teacher, I'm CPR certified. I've been a summer camp counselor and babysitter for over 10 years. Outside the classroom, I love spending time outdoors, baking and volunteering.
“Renee was absolutely wonderful. We were in town for the weekend and were a little nervous about finding a reliable sitter for our kids in a new city. Renee cared for my kids two nights in a row, and they had so much fun playing games all evening that they did not want her to leave! We felt very comfortable leaving the kids in her care, as she is very responsible and professional, and has a natural rapport with kids. If we lived in DC, I would hire her regularly!”
Nene $25 per hour for 1 child
I’m a responsible and caring college student with experience working at a Montessori school with children ages 2–5. I was also a nanny for three boys (ages 10–13) for three years, helping with activities, homework, and daily routines. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on creating a safe, positive environment for kids.

"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."
