Hi parents! My name is Shirley, I’m 26 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 newborn 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. ”
As a Senior philosophy and English double major at Howard University, I bring a unique blend of intellectual curiosity and communication skills to the table. My experience as a debate coach for middle schoolers at DC Prep showcases my ability to guide and mentor young minds. Additionally, my role in caring for my 4 younger siblings, aged 2 years old to 18 years old, along with four years of dedicated care for my infant cousins, highlights my nurturing nature. This extensive background in childcare, coupled with my college studies, demonstrates a well-rounded skill set for the role of your child Or children baby sitter. My natural patience and emphasis on communication further underscore my suitability, making me an ideal candidate to ensure a safe and enriching environment for children under my care. BLS/CPR Certified for both Infant and Adult
“Very reliable ”
Hello! My name is Chloé, and I have a background in college-level engineering studies, with several years of professional childcare, tutoring, and after-school teaching experience. I am also stepping into a role as a paraeducator with Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). My experience ranges from infants through school-age children and includes recurring infant care, after-school care, transportation, meals, and bedtime routines. As someone with a STEM background, I'm also comfortable providing homework support. From March 2024 to October 2025, I worked as an after-school teacher at Lafayette Elementary with students from pre-K through fifth grade and provided French and math tutoring at Maryvale Elementary. I also speak English and French. My private-family experience includes infant and school-age care, multi-child care, school pickups and transportation, overnight and extended care, and supporting children with ADHD and autism. I recently provided care for an infant, beginning when she was two months old, including both full-time and recurring care arrangements. My responsibilities included feeding, diaper changes, naps, tummy time, teething support, developmental play, maintaining routines, cleaning and sanitizing bottles, toys, and baby items, infant laundry, and keeping the baby’s spaces clean and organized. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I’m calm, communicative, attentive, and comfortable following established routines. Because of my daytime school schedule, my regular availability is Monday through Friday after 3:30 PM, as well as fully open and flexible schedules on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m currently seeking recurring care during these afternoons, evenings, and weekends, with some scheduling flexibility depending on the family's needs. I’m also open to occasional evening, weekend, overnight, and extended care.
“Very attentive & keeps in contact throughout the job. ”
Hello There, I trust you and your family are well! You might notice my last review is from 2020, that’s simply because I’ve been fortunate to work long-term with a few wonderful families since then. My relationships often last for years, and many of the families I’ve supported have truly become like family to me. I hold a Master’s of Arts (M.A.) in School Counseling, & M.Ed in Education Policy and Leadership. I have more than fourteen years of private childcare experience ranging from newborn to 15 years of age. I support children's emotional and social development, encouraging understanding of others and positive self-concepts. My goal has always been to provide children with the necessary care. I am dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is fun,stimulating, encouraging, safe and adaptive to each child's individual needs. Should you have any questions, feel free to message me.
“A miracle worker. Absolutely amazing. Wish she lived in SF.”
I have been working with children for the past decade or so, and have been focusing on working with infants and toddlers for the past 5 years. I recently took a break from UrbanSitter to focus on Substitute Teaching (1.5 years with DCPS), but miss the level of flexibility babysitting gave me. I focus on forming strong emotional bonds with the kids in my care, based on mutual respect and acknowledgment of every person's inherent worth. In the next couple of years, I am hoping to get my masters in education and pursue a career as a classroom teacher. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and willing to negotiate pricing and expectations based on the personal needs of your family. NB: I have fibromyalgia which greatly affects my availability to work on a day-to-day basis. It might seem like I lack the tenacity or the eagerness of other providers, but on the contrary, I believe my disability has made me even more passionate about providing quality care for every family.
