Hello! I'm delighted to share more about my background and why I am dedicated to providing excellent care for your family. My experience spans various age groups and needs, built on a foundation of professional involvement and personal responsibility. • Toddler Care: I am actively involved in my church’s family ministry, where I regularly watch and engage with toddlers during service. This hands-on, group setting has sharpened my skills in managing routines, addressing immediate needs, and facilitating positive, safe play. • Individual Babysitting: I have also built experience by caring for the children of my friends, which has given me insight into respecting individual family routines and providing customized care in a home environment. I'm comfortable with various age ranges, from infants to school-aged children. • Pets: I am a loving pet owner myself and am comfortable caring for dogs (walking, feeding) ensuring their needs and routines are met.
Hi there, I’m Celia. I’m a doctorate student at GWU studying occupational therapy and hoping to one day do pediatric OT. I’m offering child care, senior care, and pet care services at this time. I have been babysitting since I turned 13, have experience in pediatric oncology, and recently was a lead preschool teacher for children ranging from 2-5 years old (within one classroom). I have worked with non verbal children, am CPR certified through the American Heart Association, and love getting creative with kids. I would oftentimes cover the infant room during early and extended care while working at the preschool. I also have around 80 hours of observations with senior care and experience working with the elderly population. I also love dogs and cats, but am allergic to cats and therefore am only accepting dog sitting gigs at this time. I have experience dog sitting 1 dog at a time anywhere from hours to 2 weeks, but would love to gain experience working with more than 1 dog.
It’s always a great feeling when you have someone dependable for quality care. Look no further! My name is Alexandra and I’ve been working with children infant to school age for more than 14 plus years. I gained my first experience working aside my grandmother as an elementary teacher, until she was promoted to principal. After retiring she decided to continue her love for children when she opened her own licensed preschool. At that time I was very young but always said when I grew up I wanted become a teacher. That dream became reality! Today I have not only stuck with early childhood education but now an assistant director at a preschool where I can continue to utilize my creativity through education. I’m loving, caring, honest, fun and enjoy daily making a difference in our little lives life.
I am passionate about providing care for both children and seniors, with approximately three years of experience working as a nurse aide. As a dedicated parent of three, I understand the importance of nurturing and support in a family environment. I have my own reliable transportation and am willing to assist with various activities, including transporting children to parks and school events, helping with homework, and performing household chores. Additionally, I enjoy cooking and strive to create a warm and engaging atmosphere for those I care for.
Hi im a student at American University studying International relations. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, I have taught after school programs for varying ages, and worked as a camp counselor. In my free time i enjoy dancing, playing string bass, and bass as well as singing.

"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
