Hi, I’m Sandra, About me: I’m originally from Colombia and an engineer by profession. Back home, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for one year. I moved to DC with a scholarship for an internship and decided to stay after completing it. During my 18-month internship, I also worked as an afternoon babysitter and built a wonderful relationship with the family—I’m still in touch with them. Since then, I’ve supported different families during summer and spring, and many continue to reach out for occasional babysitting. I love caring for children, bringing positive energy to play and learning, and adapting to new routines while also sharing what I’ve learned through my own experience. Experience: I have 5 years of experience with children, from newborns to 5-year-olds. I also helped care for my twin relatives until they were 2 years old, and I spent 3 months in Australia as a live-in nanny for a newborn and a toddler. Strengths: I am patient, respectful, kind, and reliable. I bring energy and creativity, enjoy outdoor activities, and I’m always open to feedback and happy to offer extra support when needed. I’ll be glad to share more about myself and provide references. I have a valid driver’s license and my own transportation. Warm regards, Sandra ❤️ Availability & Preferences: Different Times. Weekends: Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
“Sandra is punctual, attentive, responsive, and has a great rapport with my 4 year old son and 9 month old baby daughter. I look forward to hiring her again ”
Hello parents! I am a mother of three wonderful children 15 yo boy, 5 yo girl and 3 yo girl. I am trilingual, English, French and Arabic. I am responsible, trustworthy, patient, active. I like to read for kids and do indoor/outdoor activities. I have more than 10 years of experience from babies to young children. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
“Warm, cheerful, easy to be around and my toddler is happy to see/go to the park with her. Booked multiple times and would recommend. ”
Hi families! I’m Edina, but I go by Edie! I’m in the process of becoming a special education teacher, and working with children is truly my passion. I’m very active, fun, and love taking kids to the playground, doing pretend play, reading, and other engaging activities. I also love creating spaces where kids feel seen, heard, safe, and encouraged to be themselves. I have handled many routines such as bedtime, evenings and afternoons. I’m currently studying Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education at Salisbury University. I’m trained in advanced childcare and certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. I don’t drive but I’m super comfortable taking Metro and Lyft. I’ve worked with a few wonderful families on UrbanSitter and would love to connect with more this season for dates, nights, evenings, and afternoons. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and fun sitter, feel free to reach out or send me a booking request!
“Edina was great! When another sitter canceled, she responded quickly and arrived early for instructions. She played soccer in the backyard, got to kids fed and bathed and our 4 & 7 year old had the best time with her!”
I have over 5 years of experience with caring for children of all ages whether new borns or teens. It started with taking care of family members being a first- born daughter in my big family and expanding to neighbors and friends. With a degree in business management and training in psychology, I bring patience, understanding, and the ability to engage children of all ages in age-appropriate activities. My experience as a certified HCA caregiver, including a year of live-in care, has further developed my ability to ensure safety and wellbeing. I follow parents' guidelines for discipline and respect each family’s preferences. Additionally, I can assist with light housework, keeping tasks within the home. I prioritize clear communication with parents to provide the best care possible for their children. Can’t wait to meet future families 😊
“Hilary was great! She very quickly connect with my toddler and handled the bedtime routine perfectly. She was so kind and professional. We’ll definitely have her back.”

"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."
