*I will be at Salisbury University till December 19th, I’m not currently able to take any DMV bookings! Thank you! I look forward to helping out when I’m back* Hi families! I’m Edina, but I go by Edie! I’m in the process of becoming a special education teacher, and working with children is truly my passion. I’m very active, fun, and love taking kids to the playground, doing pretend play, reading, and other engaging activities. I also love creating spaces where kids feel seen, heard, safe, and encouraged to be themselves. I have handled many routines such as bedtime, evenings and afternoons. I’m currently studying Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education at Salisbury University. I’m trained in advanced childcare and certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. I don’t drive but I’m super comfortable taking Metro, MetroBus and Lyft. I’ve worked with a few wonderful families on UrbanSitter and would love to connect with more this season for date nights, evenings, and afternoons. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and fun sitter, feel free to reach out or send me a booking request!

“Edina was great! When another sitter canceled, she responded quickly and arrived early for instructions. She played soccer in the backyard, got to kids fed and bathed and our 4 & 7 year old had the best time with her!”

Booked by 4 families in Beltsville, MD

My name is Kyra-Marie, and I’m a warm, creative, and responsible caregiver with over 7 years of experience working with children from infants to teens. I currently assist in the DC classrooms, helping elementary school students pre-k through 5th develop important skills through both learning and play. I’m certified in Pediatric First Aid and CPR, and I’m confident in caring for children with special needs, including ADHD, autism, asthma, anxiety, food allergies, OCD, tics, and visual and hearing impairments. I love engaging kids through crafts, drawing, reading, games, and hands-on activities. I also enjoy baking with children when parents are comfortable with it, as it’s a fun way for them to be creative while learning practical skills. I’m happy to help with cooking, light chores, and homework. I’m also comfortable with bedtime routines and enjoy taking children out for walks to the park, museums, libraries, or simply getting some fresh air and exploring. If you’re looking for a dependable, empathetic sitter who treats children with care and respect, I’d love to connect.

“We loved her! She immediately engaged the kids, brought some activities for them, and emits warmth, caring, and fun. We will definitely have her again!”
