Booked by 6 families in Occoquan, VA

Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m a reliable sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve worked as full-time nanny, supported kids with special needs, and managed twins and larger groups of children. I have helped over 50 families with their childcare needs, so I have managed a large variety of circumstances! About a year ago, I relocated to the area from Denver, CO, where I spent a lot of my free time caring for kiddos whose families I built great relationships with.

“Olivia immediately connected with my kids. She was calm, confident and played the entire time. ”

Booked by 1 family in Occoquan, VA

Hi, my name is Christina and I am a retired Army officer and now a Fairfax County Public Schools Substitute Teacher. I have raised two children and have a masters degree education (thesis still outstanding) in organizational leadership with an undergrad in psychology. I have used Urban Sitter before and took a break in 2019 for some family time. I have no cancellation rating because I babysit outside the app for preferred families from time to time and help my friend who is a teacher. I come from a long line of teachers. I am from a large family. I have 6 sisters and 1 brother, all dog/cat lovers! Hope to see you soon.

“Christina is extremely caring, welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Our kids completely adored her, and we will definitely be using her services again.”

BERNICE 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am married since 32 years with 2 beautiful children and 2 sweet rescue dogs. My husband was in the Army for 30 years where I maintained myself as a piano teacher moving every 1 - 3 years. I truly love kids and dogs very much . I babysit multiple kids and special needs kids since 8 years on care.com with fun and compassion by mixing reading, music, outdoor activities, German games, German songs, crafts and any activities the child likes and the parents approve. Babies giggle about my funny expressions and sounds. I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for date nights. Thank you !

“Bernice is an absolute delight! My 3 and 7 year old boys loved her and felt comfortable right away (which is not always the case). She is on time, responds fast to my texts, and my kids always seem to enjoy their time with her. She goes out of her way to play with my boys and keep them entertained. It feels nice to be able to relax and not worry about them, knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help! I’ll be reaching back out again soon.”

"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!"
