Booked by 1 family in Arcola, VA
I have more than 10 years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with children from infant years to school age years. I’m a mother of 2 beautiful girls (ages 6 and 7). I also have experience with special needs children. I’ve been an RBT since 2020 providing ABA therapy to children with autism spectrum. I completed my masters in special education from George Mason University in 2024. My passion for education and working with children with or without disabilities began as a child when I required the extra help from teachers as a special education student. Now this is my time to give back and help guide and teach children. I enjoy being outdoors, playing sports, playing pretend with Barbies or action figures, getting messy with art projects, or simply enjoying a relaxing moment watching a movie!

Hi - My name is Serena and I'm currently sophomore at George Mason University. I am offering child care and pet care. I enjoy being a helping hand to others thanks to the many parents in my family that needed assistance whether that be with their children or watching over their household. Thanks to this, I have experience with infants, toddlers, and kids. I am capable of driving to and from activities and cooking meals. Also (being a pet owner myself), I have experience taking care of dogs of various breeds. I have a high comfort level with dogs that shed and dogs that are on the larger side.

I’m Usha! I’m reliable, caring, and love working with kids. I enjoy planning fun activities, helping with routines, and making sure children feel safe and supported. Families can count on me to be on time, dependable, and attentive. A little about me, I live in the Reston community, love being active, and also have a sweet dog named Theo, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I’d love the chance to bring positive energy to your family and make life a little easier while giving your kids a fun and safe experience.

"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."
