My name is Erica. I am 27 years old! I have been babysitting for the past 10 years. I work in Public Affairs and I'm a graduate of the University of Maryland College Park. A little bit of my history, I was a Girl Scout troop leader for middle school aged girls for about a year. I have extensive experience babysitting for neighbors, family friends as well as a family in Silver Spring for occasional date nights. In college, I babysat as part of a carpool for two families in D.C as well as for occassional date nights! I am a non-smoker as well as have a clean driving record.

Hello families! I am a new user of UrbanSitter so allow me introduce myself: My name is Maria, I am from Colombia, and I am studying biology on a pre-medical track! I have been in childcare since the age of 14 when I would help out at a family member’s daycare during the summer. Since then, I have worked with various families with children of all ages and needs as well as having been a camp counselor for 6th grade girls! I am a native Spanish speaker, love arts & crafts, going to the park, and cooking. I am also an EMT and CPR certified at the BLS level.
“Maria was great. She arrived on-time, played with the kids (3 of them), helped with their bedtime routine and as an added bonus cleaned the kitchen. I highly recommend Maria for your babysitting needs. ”

Hi there! My name is Ebony, and I'm a newsletter editor/freelance writer. In my spare time, you'll find me at a museum or and reading in a park, weather permitting. I've worked with kids for over 10 years as a camp counselor, reading tutor, babysitter, and ESOL instructor. As a former improv performer, I'm always up for playing make-believe, singing and dancing! My experience is mostly with toddlers and school-aged children, but I have worked with infants as well. I'm very comfortable with animals, and have actually pet sit all over the country (via Trusted Housesitters). My schedule varies, but I am typically available for weekend/date-night care. I'd love to build a bond with a family and become their regular sitter. Thank you for your time and consideration!
“Ebony was very friendly and punctual We would definitely have her sit again”

"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."
