Booked by 17 families in Potomac, MD

Hi! My name is Azucena, but you can call me Suzy. I have over 7 years of experience providing child care for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I began babysitting in 2016, starting with an agency before transitioning to caring for families on a part-time basis and helping out on date nights. My past responsibilities have included school and summer camp pick-ups, as well as homework help. I’m a big fan of arts and crafts and love playing board games! I’m currently available for occasional babysitting and date nights, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. Looking forward to connecting!

“Suzy arrived early, asked very thorough questions and was very engaging with our kids. The children had a great time and look forward to playing again soon! ”

Booked by 40 families in Potomac, MD

I finished LPN (Licenced Practical Nurse). I have years of experiences working with an infant, toddler, and school aged children. Kids are adorable. I don't have my own, but I have several nieces and nephews I babysit and love as my own kids. I love my family so much, they're my everything.

“Laurelle was such a lovely lady and wonderful caregiver. She was promptly on time and immediately engaged with my 4 month old. Laurelle was comfortable with my lab mix, Lincoln and I was happy to leave my little family in her hands. Hopefully she will be available the next time I need help as she is incredibly kind and got along amazingly well with my little one.”

Booked by 34 families in Potomac, MD

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!”

Hi everyone! I speak English and Spanish. I am a person that I characterize for my punctuality and kindness. I Have been a nanny since I was 17 years old. I love spending time with children, they grow so fast and learn very quickly. I try to help them as much as I can and help them learn new things and that they have confidence in themselves. I enjoy spending time with them. I have my first aid certificate and certificate of training school for the care of children. I like to do many activities with the children at home or outside if the weather permits. I know your children will have a lot of fun and they will learn from me as well as I from them.

Booked by 35 families in Potomac, MD

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. ”
