Hi, my name is Eslam and a mother of four beautiful kids ages 10, 7, 5, and 2. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am very affectionate and nurturing with kids and have extensive experience (over 10 years) working with them. I volunteered at a Sunday school teaching children ages 4-8 Arabic for a year. I also tutor my own kids and help them with their school work. I enjoy taking the kids outside to play when possible, doing arts and crafts, reading, and other indoor activities. I am patient, reliable, and nurturing. Other relevant information include: - bilingual (English & Arabic) - great cook - easy to get along with - fast learner - fully vaccinated - college educated
Experience: 1. Worked as a Nanny for 3 year old and 5 year old for 7 months 2. After Care Counselor for kindergardeners to 8th graders for 4 years 3. Substitute Teacher for Preschool age to 8th graders for 4 years 4. Part time Preschool Teacher for 2 months (This was supposed to be a part time position as an art teacher for the little ones but I was given a position as a morning preschool teacher to help out) 5. Pet sitter for all animal (Except snake) for 6 years Qualifications: 1. Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED Certified 2. Medication Administation Training (MAT) Certified About me: I love learning and teaching. I have a ton of little cousins so I was the babysitter in my family growing up and have always been around kids of all ages, which is what got me into childcare in the beginning. Patients is key, in my opinion, and anything can be taught with both patients and determination. I grew up playing many different sports and think exercise is important but I my passion is reading and I love doing read alouds with the kids. It can surprise people how much some of the older kids appreciate being read to.
Hi! My name is Emma, and I'm finishing my first year at NOVA. I offer childcare mainly, as well as pet care and errand assistance when needed. I spent a year as a full-time teacher’s aide in a 2–3 year old classroom, and I've been babysitting/tutoring elementary and middle school children since I was 16. I’m especially looking to earn more experience with infants (3 months–2 years). I love babies and have cared for infants in the past, but I’m hoping to build more consistent, hands-on experience. I enjoy keeping kids engaged—whether it’s short outdoor play, art, dancing, or building activities. I’ve worked with tantrum-prone toddlers and know how to stay calm, patient, and professional. I aim to create a fun, safe space where kids feel seen and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
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.
Hi, im Mike, your new babysitter! During the week, I work with kids, but I'm ready to bring that magic to your front doorstep. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, a night out, or even a last minute call-in, i'm your guy. Even when it seems like I might not have the time, my schedule is made to prioritize your home, your children, your pets, and most importantly: YOU. I usually work with kids aged 5-12, but I've never been known to shy away from working with new ages. So as long as you'd tell me everything I should know, I can get the job done. No kids, no problem! If you need a pet sitter, house sitter, or just a clean house then im still the right call to make. I'm experienced with pets, and know my way around a broom. So what are you waiting for? You need time for you, and I'm ready to give you peace of mind.

"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."
