Hello! I'm Gabriela! I've taken care of babies, kids and teenagers for more many years, all between the ages of 2 months old to 14 y/o. I have a degree in English Teaching; and back home (Mexico) I was a Spanish and English teacher in a primary school, high school and university for a few years. I consider myself a reliable, responsible, spontaneous, and emphatic person. I'd love to have the opportunity to talk with you to get to know each other better, and see if I have the chance to take care of your beautiful kid(s)! I'm fully vaccinated and always looking for the best way to stay healthy by following the covid prevention recommendations.
“Gabriela was wonderful. My wife was in town for a conference and brought our 12 year old daughter. The two days she was doing conference things, she hired Gabriela to take our daughter to see the sites in DC, and I guess the best review is that one day after my daughter returned home and I was saying goodnight she whispered to me "I already miss Gaby". They saw cool things that we didn't know about, had fun, rambled. Gabriella is a true good spirit, you can't go wrong.”
Hello, I am a 33 year old professional in the nonprofit sector. However, I have many years of experience working with kids. I have worked at YMCA afterschool programs, substitute teaching, as a professional, helped with remote learning, worked at summer camps as a counselor, and have facilitated college preparation workshops for children in grades 7-12. I have a Masters in Public Administration and a bachelors in Public Communication. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the city, being outside, running and hiking and trying new food! I work full-time during the week, so I am looking for some evenings and weekends.
Hello! My name is Caroline, I’m a 25 year old communications strategist, and I’d love to be your babysitter! Growing up as the oldest sister, I’ve been taking care of my younger siblings and cousins since middle school. I’ve babysat for numerous families over the years with kids ages 2 and up. I can also cook, clean, and help with homework. I love dogs and would be happy to walk your furbaby too! Please message if interested. Thank you!

Hello families! I am a new user of UrbanSitter so allow me introduce myself: My name is Maria, I am from Colombia, and I am studying biology on a pre-medical track! I have been in childcare since the age of 14 when I would help out at a family member’s daycare during the summer. Since then, I have worked with various families with children of all ages and needs as well as having been a camp counselor for 6th grade girls! I am a native Spanish speaker, love arts & crafts, going to the park, and cooking. I am also an EMT and CPR certified at the BLS level.
“Maria was great. She arrived on-time, played with the kids (3 of them), helped with their bedtime routine and as an added bonus cleaned the kitchen. I highly recommend Maria for your babysitting needs. ”
Hello! My name is Abby, I’m 27 years old and I have lived in DC for the last 5 years! I moved here from Wisconsin in 2020 to earn my Master’s in Political Science at American University which I got in 2022, and currently work at the Administration for Children and Families at HHS. I’ve been at HHS for the last 3 years, and previously worked on the Hill and in campaigns. I have experience watching children from infancy to pre-teens, and love working with all age groups! Additionally, I have a bachelor’s in psychology with a focus in child/adolescent and social psychology, and worked full time in a daycare while in college with toddlers-school aged children. I am a pet lover, and have a dog of my own! I have access to a car, and a clean driving record. I love to cook, read, play games and craft, and will do all the above with your children so they have fun and are stimulated! I always follow parental guidance on screens and technology, and am more than happy to keep your kids off them and keep them entertained through play and creativity! As I do work a full time job, I am mostly available on weekends and the occasional weeknight evening after 6:30pm.
“Abby was great! My kids gave rave reviews. She was communicative, punctual, and very sweet. We will definitely use her again. ”
