Hi! My name is Megan and I’m 28 years old. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2019. I live in Manassas, VA. I’ve enjoyed babysitting kids of all ages since I was 13. I work full time during the week, and I’m looking to make some extra spending money on weekends and weeknights. In my free time, I like to run, cook and read. I have my own car and I’m willing to travel into DC and to nearby suburbs in MD and VA. I look forward to meeting you!

Megan was great with 4 children (6,4,3 & 2) to allow another couple and my husband & I to go out the evening/night of Valentine’s Day. We had a wonderful time and Megan made that possible. She was responsive, kind and funny and my daughter who was crying moments before we left (about us leaving) seemed to forget her sadness within 5 minutes of Megan showing up. She even got all 4 toddlers down successfully and they were sound asleep when we got home, miraculous! We’d love to have her watch our children again.

Hi, my name is Christina and I am a retired Army officer and now a Fairfax County Public Schools Substitute Teacher. I have raised two children and have a masters degree education (thesis still outstanding) in organizational leadership with an undergrad in psychology. I have used Urban Sitter before and took a break in 2019 for some family time. I have no cancellation rating because I babysit outside the app for preferred families from time to time and help my friend who is a teacher. I come from a long line of teachers. I am from a large family. I have 6 sisters and 1 brother, all dog/cat lovers! Hope to see you soon.

Christina is extremely caring, welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Our kids completely adored her, and we will definitely be using her services again.
