My name is Sofia! I am from the Dominican Republic but I am currently studying in the George Washington University here in DC! I am 19 years old and have had a lot of prior expirience caring for kids. I was a summer camp counselor for 3 years, working either kids from ages 2-12 as well as a babysitter here in DC my past freshman year of college! Additionally I have two nephews which I regularly take care of when I am back home. I consider myself very energetic and kind and some usually say I have a special way with kids. I really enjoy spending my time taking care of children as they are fun and creative. I am very loving and organized and have the ability to speak spanish and english. Lastly, I am CPR certified by the American Heart Association and am very responsible!
I have years of experience with childcare and pet care. I have babysat for kids and animals for nearly 5 years. I am also available for overnights and weekends.
As a driven educator with a Master's degree in Technical Communication and a Bachelor's in English Literature, I have over five years of tutoring experience specializing in creative writing, essay editing, and technical writing. Beyond tutoring, I have a diverse background in working with children and young learners: I spent several years as a part‑time ice skating instructor, served as a camp counselor at Camp Allen for two summers, worked at a church during Vacation Bible School and provided babysitting care for three families throughout high school. These experiences strengthened my ability to connect with students of different ages and cultures, foster patience and create supportive environments. My teaching philosophy centers on cultivating a collaborative and encouraging space where students feel empowered to express their ideas and improve their writing skills. I strive to connect with each learner by understanding their unique perspectives and goals, guiding them toward both academic success and personal growth. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy writing fiction and following current events. I am dedicated to helping students not only excel academically but also discover and refine their own voice through writing.
Hi! My name is Raya, and I recently moved from Beirut, Lebanon, to Washington, DC, to pursue my undergraduate studies at Georgetown University, where I’m a first-year student. Growing up in a big family, I’ve had extensive experience babysitting children of all ages. I can also prepare healthy meals for your kids since I worked at a “healthy living” restaurant for 2 summers! I am trilingual, speaking English, French, and Arabic fluently, which allows me to communicate with a diverse range of families. I’m also in training to become an EMT, learning to respond to emergency medical situations such as choking, allergic reactions, and more, so safety is always a priority for me. I would love to bring my energy, responsibility, and care to your family!

"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."
