Hi! My name is Miesha, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routine. Over the years, I’ve worked with many different families, and one thing I’ve learned is that every child and every household is different. I’m available for date nights, occasional care, overnight care, hotel and travel care, amusement park care, special events, and families who may need care outside of a traditional schedule. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults, as well as TrustLine registered. Safety is very important to me, and I want parents to be able to leave knowing their children are in good hands. When I’m caring for children, I like to actually interact with them rather than just supervise. Depending on their age and interests, that might mean playing games, going outside, doing arts and crafts, reading, baking, watching a movie together, helping with homework, or simply listening while they tell me about all the things they’re currently excited about. 😊 I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy while the children are in my care. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. My professional background also includes working in childcare staffing, where I’ve trained nannies and helped match caregivers with families based on their individual childcare needs. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your children is a big deal. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, household rules, parenting preferences, and expectations. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible, and I always want both the parents and children I work with to feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, sports, traveling, spending time outdoors, going to amusement parks, and exploring new places. Whether you need a sitter for a date night, work, an event, vacation, hotel stay, overnight care, or just some time to yourself, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

AVAILABLE FOR BACKUP CARE TRUSTLINE REGISTERED Not too long ago it was a tradition for an extended family member to step in as a caregiver for working parents. Now, there are many families who have moved to a new city for a career without a family member nearby. I specialize in taking loving care of children in my role as caregiver. I strive to prepare healthy kid-friendly meals and snacks for children. And I make use of other sites to find activities for little learners. I can keep your child engaged with reading books aloud and other fun and educational activities. I am very resourceful and patient with a sense of humor! For the past couple of years, I have worked as a nanny in share, and with one child alone. Those parents are very willing to be a reference for me. And I had a very successful run in Washington DC with many families from the region. Maybe I have cared for your family or friends in DC; I have more than 400 bookings there. I really look forward to working with your family!

Hello! Looking for a caregiver who naturally connects with your little ones and furry family members, and who brings years of trusted, loving experience? That’s me! My name is Deborah, and caregiving has long been something I’m deeply drawn to and truly passionate about. I’m currently working as a full-time nanny for a wonderful family through UrbanSitter, and I’m so grateful that this has become my professional career. Friends, families, and clients have consistently trusted me with their most precious children and beloved pets, knowing they’re in caring, responsible, and attentive hands. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel happy, supported, and secure. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with routines, or simply sharing calm, comforting moments, I’m dedicated to being a positive and reliable presence in your child’s day. Although I’m committed full-time during weekdays, I’m available for evening care and Saturdays, and I’d love to support your family whenever you need extra help. Please feel free to reach out for date nights, weekend coverage, or special occasions. I understand the deep trust families place in their caregivers, and building a strong, respectful partnership with your family is very important to me. I’m a dedicated listener, quick learner, and someone who always strives to provide dependable, high-quality care. If you’re looking for someone who feels like a natural extension of your family, I’d love to connect! Please send me a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. If I don’t respond immediately, I’m likely caring for a precious little one. 😊
