Eliana $23 per hour for 1 child
I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, have fun, and feel safe. It makes me happy to support their growth and create positive experiences for them. I am a qualified teacher and I have experience working with children of different ages in educational settings and childcare. I have also worked as a babysitter, caring for children, organizing activities, and helping with daily routines. I have strong communication skills, patience, creativity, and responsibility. I enjoy planning fun activities such as arts and crafts, storytelling, educational games, outdoor play, music, dancing, and creative learning activities based on each child’s age. I can also help with routines and provide a safe and caring environment for children. I am available on weekends.

Erika $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Mount Rainier, MD
Hi! I'm a recent Georgetown grad staying in DC for the summer. I love to read, play sports, and enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I have three years of experience babysitting for kids ages 1-13 in the DC area. I also worked for 2 years as a camp counselor for ages 5-14. I love spending time with all kinds of kids, whether they are energetic and outdoorsy or they prefer to hang inside and read or color. My availability is super flexible this summer, and I am free most evenings and mornings! I also grew up caring for my dog, Lego, who recently just passed away. I'm really missing having a dog in my life, so would also love any opportunity to dog sit or dog walk! I am very responsible and reliable and, again, have very flexible hours this summer.
Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Sophia, and I am a student at American University in NW Washington. In my free time, I love writing poetry, swimming, and baking. I have experience taking care of animals, as I have an adorable cat and bunny! I am new to taking care of children, but excited for this opportunity. I want to make your life easier for you. Hoping to meet you soon :)

"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."
