Hi family! My name is Ángela, I am 25 years old and originally from Colombia. I have childcare experience from my home country, caring for children of different ages. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment for them. I am responsible, patient, and reliable, and I always prioritize the children’s well-being and daily routines. I also love dogs and feel comfortable being around pets. I would love the opportunity to support your family.
Hi! My name is Graisen. I'm currently a doctoral student in the field of Occupational Therapy. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, and it's one of the reasons I chose my career. In addition to babysitting experience with children of different ages, I'm the oldest sibling and cousin in my family, so I've naturally grown up helping care for younger children. I've also helped care for my aunt with Down syndrome, which has taught me patience, compassion, adaptability, and the importance of meeting people where they are. These experiences have shaped the caregiver I am today. I'm responsible, dependable, patient, and creative. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Whether it's helping with homework, planning activities, preparing meals, sticking to routines, or simply being someone they can trust, I always strive to provide attentive and compassionate care. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, pet care, and other household tasks to make life a little easier for busy families. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your loved ones, and I would be honored to provide reliable, thoughtful care for your family.
Nice to meet you! After receiving my Bachelor's in Psychology with a specialization in Child Development, I moved back to the DC area to be closer to family. Between my undergrad work programs and my current job, I've been working in a teaching capacity with children for about 6 years now. Currently, I'm employed full time as a associate teacher at a DC preschool. This experience provides me with lots of benefits that I then get to share with my babysitting families! Some of these benefits include child CPR certification, easy meal times (I've supported all sorts of kids with different dietary and motor needs), comfort with managing siblings, and a willingness to embrace the toughest bedtime routines. I look forward to working with your family!
I have 5 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in a daycare setting. I’m also currently a part time nanny for a 4 year old and a 2 year old 🙂
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.

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
