I have been working with children for the past decade or so, and have been focusing on working with infants and toddlers for the past 5 years. I recently took a break from UrbanSitter to focus on Substitute Teaching (1.5 years with DCPS), but miss the level of flexibility babysitting gave me. I focus on forming strong emotional bonds with the kids in my care, based on mutual respect and acknowledgment of every person's inherent worth. In the next couple of years, I am hoping to get my masters in education and pursue a career as a classroom teacher. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and willing to negotiate pricing and expectations based on the personal needs of your family. NB: I have fibromyalgia which greatly affects my availability to work on a day-to-day basis. It might seem like I lack the tenacity or the eagerness of other providers, but on the contrary, I believe my disability has made me even more passionate about providing quality care for every family.

Hello parents! My experience spans from babies to teenagers and I have been working with kids as a nanny and babysitter for 8 years. I have a degree in Business Analytics from the University of Maryland and I’m looking for occasional babysitting jobs. While babysitting, I enjoy playing, reading, going to parks and libraries, exploring kids’ imagination/creativity, and having fun! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Hi! I’m Danielle. I’m certified in Anxiety Counseling and have been coaching kids and adults to incorporate wellness practices daily. I’m the proud author of the children’s book; Hugging Olivia. I’ve been providing childcare in the local DMV area since 2019 and have loved to see these little ones grow up.
