Booked by 1 family in Ruby, VA
I have been caring for children including my own even before Care & Sitter came around. I cared and sat for many children starting from 3 months to 6 year old. I take my services very seriously and I care for children with professionalism. If you are looking for someone who has a lot of patience and dedication looking after your loved ones please know that they will be in the right hands
“We had a wonderful experience with Yulissa! She was punctual, very communicative, and immediately engaged with our 5 year old son when she arrived. He felt comfortable with her right away and absolutely loved spending time with her! She was very kind, attentive, helped with my son’s bedtime, and kept us updated throughout the night. I would highly recommend Yulissa to any one and would absolutely love to have her babysit for us again!”
Bridgette $27 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I have over 13 years of childcare experience and currently work with infants ages 3 to 18 months. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education, which helps me support children’s growth and development in a nurturing and engaging way. I’m warm, patient, love creating a safe and caring environment where little ones can thrive. I love to cuddle but also believe exploring is an important part of development.

Hi! My name is Megan and I’m 28 years old. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2019. I live in Manassas, VA. I’ve enjoyed babysitting kids of all ages since I was 13. I work full time during the week, and I’m looking to make some extra spending money on weekends and weeknights. In my free time, I like to run, cook and read. I have my own car and I’m willing to travel into DC and to nearby suburbs in MD and VA. I look forward to meeting you!
“Megan was great with 4 children (6,4,3 & 2) to allow another couple and my husband & I to go out the evening/night of Valentine’s Day. We had a wonderful time and Megan made that possible. She was responsive, kind and funny and my daughter who was crying moments before we left (about us leaving) seemed to forget her sadness within 5 minutes of Megan showing up. She even got all 4 toddlers down successfully and they were sound asleep when we got home, miraculous! We’d love to have her watch our children again.”

Booked by 3 families in Ruby, VA
Hello! My name is Kelynn, and I’m currently a senior Computer Science major at Howard University. I am offering child care, tutoring, pet care, and household services. I’ve been caring for children since high school, including babysitting during summers, teaching Sunday school, and working in my church’s nursery. I also have a younger brother who is ten years my junior, which gave me daily, hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages and love engaging them with fun, creative activities. My background as a dancer has taught me how to balance imagination, fun, and discipline. I’m also strong in academics, especially math, and enjoy helping with homework and tutoring. I graduated high school with a 4.2 GPA and currently maintain a 3.9 at Howard. I have my own reliable transportation and am happy to help with drop-offs/pickups. In addition to childcare, I am experienced with pets; I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and am very comfortable with pet care (walking, feeding, playing, etc.).

"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."
