Booked by 10 families in Lorton, VA

Hi there! My name is Sarah, and I’m a recent UTSA graduate with a BS in Biochemistry. I am a current medical assistant and applying to PhD programs for Fall 2026 to investigate disease mechanisms, particularly with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity. As the oldest of five, I’ve been taking care of little ones since they were babies. Outside of family, I’ve had hands-on experience as young as 3 years old, and I’ve also provided tutoring for high school students. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, reading stories, or organizing fun activities, I create a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment for your child. I’m BLS/CPR certified, can cook, and I’m comfortable with household tasks. I’m well-versed in caring for animals as I have a cat of my own and occasionally watch over family friends’ pets (most being 4 dogs small and large and 1 cat), making me the perfect option for families with pets. If you’re looking for someone responsible, caring, and fun, I’d love to meet your family!

“Great! Highly recommend ”

Hi! My name is Lina, and I’ve been working on UrbanSitter for a few years now. I am an auntie of eight incredible nieces and nephews whom I have helped take care of from birth into their childhood. I’m conversant in Amharic, French, and I am somewhat conversant in Arabic and Spanish. I am energetic, creative, and read wonderful bedtime stories! I can help with all kinds of homework, and can engage in various activities. If there are any particular subjects/activities or developmental milestones you would like me to help with, please let me know! I pay attention to detail & can maintain an organized space during and after activites. I take constructive criticism very seriously and try my best to implement changes immediately. I love working with children, from birth to big kids! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions! At this time I am only available on an occasional basis. Thank you! -Lina

Booked by 3 families in Lorton, VA

Hi! My name is Paula, and I have nearly 8 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns and infants to school-aged children and teenagers. I especially love working with babies and young children. I have experience with early stimulation and age-appropriate activities that support motor, cognitive, and language development. I enjoy teaching through play, including letters, numbers, colors, books, sensory activities, English and Spanish. I also have experience with potty training. I currently work full-time with a wonderful family Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I have cared for their daughter since she was 5 months old, and she is now 2 years and 5 months old. I also occasionally care for another little girl whom I have known since she was 6 months old and is now 4. I will soon begin a bachelor’s degree related to Early Childhood Development, a field that connects directly with what I love doing. I’m looking for additional babysitting opportunities outside my regular work hours, especially evenings and weekends. I’m open to occasional or consistent care if it’s a good fit for both of us. I’m responsible, patient, caring, reliable, and also a big animal lover, especially dogs. Please feel free to message me!

“Paula is amazing with my 18 month year old. She started working with us when she was 6 months and has been invaluable since. She has helped my daughter crawling and then walking. She is great handling my daughter and German Shepard. She is soo gentle and has soo much patience. keeps her active at all times and constantly challenging her to thrive. She takes her to the library all the time and likes to read. She give me peace of mind and I know when I have to go to work she will be in safe hands.”

Booked by 3 families in Lorton, 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 10 year olds. 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

“I hired Yulissa to take care of my 23 month old daughter and they got along great! Yulissa was the first babysitter my daughter ever stayed with, so I was a bit nervous. However, my daughter took to her right away. Yulissa was punctual, responsible, patient, and caring. It seemed like my daughter had a lot of fun with Yulissa. She was comfortable with being around our dog as well, which was great. I would definitely hire her again for future babysitting needs and highly recommend her to others as well! ”

Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m a reliable sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve worked as full-time nanny, supported kids with special needs, and managed twins and larger groups of children. I have helped over 50 families with their childcare needs, so I have managed a large variety of circumstances! About a year ago, I relocated to the area from Denver, CO, where I spent a lot of my free time caring for kiddos whose families I built great relationships with.

“Olivia immediately connected with my kids. She was calm, confident and played the entire time. ”
