Hi! My name is Shannon and I’ve been in DC for 6 years. I offer babysitting services for families and at a local church nursery. I’ve always loved kids and have 3 nieces and 1 nephew. I love playing games with them and going to park whenever I am back home and spent a lot of time with them before moving to DC. I started babysitting in high school and also worked at a local gym in their Kid Zone. There, I’d create and lead crafts, organize games, and maintain and safe and fun environment. At the church nursery, I usually babysit kids under 2 years old. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages.

As a philosophy and English major at Howard University, I bring a unique blend of intellectual curiosity and communication skills to the table. My experience as a debate coach for middle schoolers at DC Prep showcases my ability to guide and mentor young minds. Additionally, my role in caring for my 4 younger siblings, aged 18 months to 17 years old, along with four years of dedicated care for my infant cousins, highlights my nurturing nature. This extensive background in childcare, coupled with my college studies, demonstrates a well-rounded skill set for the role of your child Or children baby sitter. My natural patience and emphasis on communication further underscore my suitability, making me an ideal candidate to ensure a safe and enriching environment for children under my care. BLS/CPR Certified

Lotonia was amazing with our 3 little kids! Would definitely recommend!!!!

I have over 5 years of experience with caring for children of all ages whether new borns or teens. It started with taking care of family members being a first- born daughter in my big family and expanding to neighbors and friends. With a degree in business management and training in psychology, I bring patience, understanding, and the ability to engage children of all ages in age-appropriate activities. My experience as a certified HCA caregiver, including a year of live-in care, has further developed my ability to ensure safety and wellbeing. I follow parents' guidelines for discipline and respect each family’s preferences. Additionally, I can assist with light housework, keeping tasks within the home. I prioritize clear communication with parents to provide the best care possible for their children. Can’t wait to meet future families 😊

Hilary was great! She very quickly connect with my toddler and handled the bedtime routine perfectly. She was so kind and professional. We’ll definitely have her back.

Hello, my name is Michelle and I’ve taken care of kids since the end of my high school year. What I most like about babysitting is the environment the child makes by being creative and learning from each thing they do and it’s basically never a dull moment. My motive is to help out parents and give them a fresh start each day when coming back home from work. I also have experience with newborns. I am a recent college graduate and soon to transferring to University to get my bachelors degree.

Hi parents! My name is Shirley, I’m 24 years old and currently working as a Registered Nurse in D.C! I babysat all throughout nursing school and hope to continue to occasionally do so. When it comes to experience I have cared for infants as young as 1 month old to middle school aged children. I have also cared for multiple kids at one time including multiple infants and toddlers at a time. In high school I volunteered at a recreation center for 5 months working with 4-5th graders in an after school program where I helped with homework and setting up activities. I have taken some child development classes and am aware of the appropriate milestones, activities and communication needed for kids of different age groups. I speak fluent Spanish and am also willing to teach your kids as well if that is something you would be interested in! I strive to always provide a positive and memorable caring experience for you and your children and would be more than happy to answer any other questions or concerns you may have for me! *CPR/BLS certified* *All bookings with me must be made through urbansitter due to safety concerns*

Shirley watched our son for a date night. She was on time, courteous and flexible with her time. Our son was already asleep, so not much to say on that front but I would hire her to watch him in the future.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
