Hello! My name is Jessica and I am a Midwest native who has happily made a home in Washington, DC for the last 14 years. I am a cat mom to a 4 year old cat Winnie and have grown up with family dogs since the age of 6. I am the youngest of three daughters and am a very lucky aunt to four nieces from the ages of 3-8 years old. I am very fortunate to be close with my family and to get to spend time caring and shaping my nieces. Outside of family, I have experience as a babysitter during all four years of my college experience at American University, ranging from afterschool care for 2+ kids to babysitting during evenings or weekends, assisting with meals, playtime, and homework. In addition, I often pet sit for friends and neighbors, helping with play time, getting in walks, feeding, and litter box cleaning. I would love to connect and see if I am the right fit to care for your kids or animals!
“Jessica was delightful! She arrived early, was pleasant and professional, and jumped right in with the kids. Definitely would recommend her!”
Hi! My name is Gayatri and I'm a babysitter with ~10 of experience with children ages 1 - 14. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics and Creative Writing from UNC Chapel Hill (class of 2014) and currently work in Georgetown in branding / communications for non-profits and foundations. In my free time I like to read, write fiction, and cook! I love babysitting because it's fun -- I love getting to know children over games, arts and crafts, homework, and playing with their friends. I have experience working with boys and girls and enjoy babysitting actual babies as well as older school-age children :) I'm looking forward to meeting your family!
“Our nine-year-old son had a great time with Gayatri! We'd definitely hire her again.”
Hello there! My name is Brenda, and I’m from Colombia. I’m excited to share that I’m offering childcare services. I’ve been working with children for eight years now, and I’m currently a nanny in Arlington, Virginia. I’m taking care of three boys who are 10, 12, and 13 years old. Before this family, I had the privilege of caring for a baby who was just 10 months old. I took care of him until he was 2 and a half years old. I’ve gained a lot of experience with children. I had worked with really good families that they’ll happy to give you references about my job and my personality. Usually my responsibilities are only about the kids like, cook, drive, play, do crafts and to tutoring.
“Brenda was my children’s nanny for the summer (boy, 9, and girl, 6). Brenda was absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough! She was punctual, professional, and very engaging with the children. She was responsible for getting the kids ready for the day, making them meals, driving them, and playing with them – among other things. My kids loved playing both indoors and outdoors with Brenda. They did a variety of fun activities, including arts/crafts, games, and going to the pool. I should add that my children’s father and I recently separated, and Brenda went back and forth between our two homes seamlessly. The kids had a terrific summer with her, and I highly recommend her as a nanny and babysitter.”

"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."
