Hi! I work for DC Public Library and have been working in libraries for over 7 years now and I love it! I'm happy to get back to sitting occasionally to spend time engaging in fun activities like park visits, imaginative play, reading, kid-friendly cooking, and music/art! I don't have kids of my own so getting to spend time and care for others is a joy and privilege that I don't take for granted. I enjoy being a caregiver and sharing the present moment with kids. It feels less like work and more like an escape from my daily routine! My schedule varies as I work every other weekend and one full weekend a month (both Saturday and Sunday). I also have Thursday mornings off if anyone needs help then! I've worked with children aged 1 to 12 and infants (3 months+) locally since 2011. Before DC, I went abroad to au pair for a family with two young children (2 and 4 years old when I arrived). My duties have included: Meal prep/ Feeding (bottles, babyfood etc.) Light housekeeping Drop offs/ Pick ups Caring for sick toddlers and infants Medicine Adminstration Activities and Outings Supervision and chaperoning in various settings (home and away) Tutoring and homework help Help caring for pets (dogs and cats) My longest full-time childcare job was working abroad as an au pair. I stayed with the family for over a year and a half, working afternoons, all day Wednesday (off-school day), and the occasional evening, weekend, or vacation sitting.

“Aimee connected with our girls right away. She was on-time, and had great communication throughout. Would definitely recommend!”

Booked by 40 families in Beltsville, 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.”

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 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. ”

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
