Booked by 1 family in Ruby, 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.

Booked by 1 family in Ruby, VA

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 6 year old. 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

We had a wonderful experience with Yulissa! She was punctual, very communicative, and immediately engaged with our 5 year old son when she arrived. He felt comfortable with her right away and absolutely loved spending time with her! She was very kind, attentive, helped with my son’s bedtime, and kept us updated throughout the night. I would highly recommend Yulissa to any one and would absolutely love to have her babysit for us again!
