I would love to spend time reading to your children, playing outside, exploring nature, and dancing in the kitchen. I have taught preschool for three years. I have extensive experience babysitting, and I have eight years of teaching experience at the middle and high school level. I speak fluent German, and I would be happy to immerse your children in German and support their language development. I have worked as a full-time nanny for four years, with ages ranging from newborn (twins) to seven. **Allergic to cats**

“Jan was on time, very kind, positive and my son had a great time playing with her. She was a great help while my husband and I got chores done around the house!”

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. ”

Booked by 34 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi! My name is Monica, and I am a babysitter with several years of experience. I have cared for children between the ages of 1 and 10. My responsibilities have included walking children to and from school, playing games, reading together, and supporting evening routines, among other tasks. I have also worked with children in educational settings. During the academic year, I work full-time as a high school educator. I am currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy spending time with dogs, reading, and running. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish for families interested in supporting dual-language learning.

“Monica is lovely! The kids really enjoyed playing games with her, they went to bed on time, too :-) Happy to have Monica babysit again!”

Hello Families! My name is Sara. I have both professional and personal experience in caring for children of all ages. I am CPR and AED certified. I am trilingual with fluency in English and Amharic, and limited working proficiency in Spanish. I also have previous K-5 tutoring experience and as a college student myself, I understand the value of education. I am very active and have no problem playing with little ones for long periods of time. I am open to offering homework assistance, teaching practical skills, taking children outside or to practice, helping within the house (cooking, laundry, errands, planning, light tidying,etc) and anything else you may need in between. I also have experience in pet care (dog-walking and cat-sitting). I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and supportive. It would be my pleasure and goal to help make your daily routine easier in any way I can.
