Hello! I’m a former Early Childhood Educator looking for part-time work as a childcare provider! I am passionate about child development and providing children with the very best care on every level. I don’t just provide basic care and safety but strive to create the best environment to nurture a child’s body, mind, and emotional wellbeing! I have provided care through daycares and as a private childcare provider and nanny for kids from infancy to school age. I would love to hear from you!
I have been caring for children including my own even before Care & Sitter came around. I cared and sat for many children starting from 3 months to 10 year olds. I take my services very seriously and I care for children with professionalism. If you are looking for someone who has a lot of patience and dedication looking after your loved ones please know that they will be in the right hands
“I hired Yulissa to take care of my 23 month old daughter and they got along great! Yulissa was the first babysitter my daughter ever stayed with, so I was a bit nervous. However, my daughter took to her right away. Yulissa was punctual, responsible, patient, and caring. It seemed like my daughter had a lot of fun with Yulissa. She was comfortable with being around our dog as well, which was great. I would definitely hire her again for future babysitting needs and highly recommend her to others as well! ”
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.”

"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!"
