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.”

Hi! My name is Saroya, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who truly enjoys working with children. I’ve loved caring for kids since I was 15, and I have experience helping with working with children in a professional setting and babysitting, which has helped me become patient, attentive, and understanding. I’m comfortable with tasks like preparing simple meals, helping with homework, and keeping kids entertained in a safe and positive environment. I always make sure to follow parents’ instructions closely and prioritize children’s safety and well-being. In addition to babysitting, I also offer other services such as light housekeeping and pet sitting, so I’m happy to help out wherever needed to make things easier for your family. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun environment for your children

"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."
