Kelly Manassas
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Clifton, VA

I have more than 10 years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with children from infant years to school age years. I’m a mother of 2 beautiful girls (ages 6 and 7). I also have experience with special needs children. I’ve been an RBT since 2020 providing ABA therapy to children with autism spectrum. I completed my masters in special education from George Mason University in 2024. My passion for education and working with children with or without disabilities began as a child when I required the extra help from teachers as a special education student. Now this is my time to give back and help guide and teach children. I enjoy being outdoors, playing sports, playing pretend with Barbies or action figures, getting messy with art projects, or simply enjoying a relaxing moment watching a movie!

Serena Fairfax
$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Serena and I'm currently sophomore at George Mason University. I am offering child care and pet care. I enjoy being a helping hand to others thanks to the many parents in my family that needed assistance whether that be with their children or watching over their household. Thanks to this, I have experience with infants, toddlers, and kids. I am capable of driving to and from activities and cooking meals. Also (being a pet owner myself), I have experience taking care of dogs of various breeds. I have a high comfort level with dogs that shed and dogs that are on the larger side.

Hi ! I’m Shantel. I’ve supported several families as a trusted babysitter and night nanny, providing hundreds of hours of overnight infant and newborn care. You’ll find me flexible and easy-going. I genuinely care about nurturing kids and watching them grow and change as they experience the world ❤️ I’d love to help you out if I can. As an RN, nothing is too messy, complicated or overwhelming. And as a mom of 4, nothing is too unpredictable or chaotic. 🙂 Overnights are my sweet spot right now with my family’s schedule ! 9pm-7am Good luck in your search! I hope you find exactly the right fit and the peace of mind you are looking for.

Hello! I’m new to Urban Sitter, but have prior experience with families from SitterCity. References available upon request. I’m currently seeking part time positions while I transition careers. I have experience with children on the spectrum as well as non-verbal and different abled. I feel it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I value creating a safe space where they are respected and nurtured while also being independent and feeding their curious minds. I believe our planet earth is a beautiful place with wonderful people from all walks of life. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Samantha Springfield
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Samantha! I’m a junior at William & Mary and am offering babysitting services for families with up to three children. As a caregiver, I prioritize safety, kindness, and mutual respect. I’ve been babysitting for nearly 5 years and am experienced with children ages 9 months and above. I’ve been employed by families with up to four children and with neurodiverse children. I’m looking for short-term work opportunities while back home in Northern Virginia. I’m available until late June, when I leave for a study abroad program in Europe. I’m happy to run errands, cook/prep meals, and do light housekeeping tasks. I have my own car and am CPR and first-aid certified. Most pets are ok (I love cats especially!) but please no high-energy big dogs!
