Hello! My name is Chieme and I’m a current Nursing student and certified by the American Heart association in infant/child/adult CPR. I have had high school and college experience taking care of children. I’ve babysat both here in America and back in my home-country Nigeria. In highschool most of my community service hours came from volunteering during the summer at a children’s camp, while my college experience comes from babysitting children through various babysitting apps. I also help babysit children of family members. I am the 2nd oldest of 4 children and have helped take care of the younger ones including my sister who has special needs. I also have experience babysitting children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and autism. I am enthusiastic, active, and adore all children. My availability is very flexible at the moment, since I’m a full-time student. I believe I am engaging and responsible and would love to look after your children. I also have no pet allergies, so pets in the house are totally fine! I’ve gone through Urban Sitter’s background check and I am happy to provide any documents upon request. Thanks for your time and I hope to meet you and your family soon!
“She is reliable.”
I am Jalaycia, a twenty-eight year old woman living in Hyattsville, MD. I am a full-time program manager and occasional babysitter. I am an energetic and responsible individual that absolutely adores kids. I have worked directly with youth for more than seven years through mentoring, volunteer work, and babysitting. I have babysat children with special needs and have visited with elders for many years. I am creative and capable of fulfilling whatever requests are needed. I am currently only accepting occasional jobs on a case by case instance through the end of 2026.
I would love to spend time reading to your children, playing outside, exploring nature, and dancing in the kitchen. I have taught preschool for three years. I have extensive experience babysitting, and I have eight years of teaching experience at the middle and high school level. I speak fluent German, and I would be happy to immerse your children in German and support their language development. I have worked as a full-time nanny for four years, with ages ranging from newborn (twins) to seven. **Allergic to cats**
“Jan was on time, very kind, positive and my son had a great time playing with her. She was a great help while my husband and I got chores done around the house!”
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!”
I’m a proud mom of two and a very social person who loves caring for both children and the elderly. I have over 2 years of professional experience in early childhood education, in addition to years of caring for my own children. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, which means your little one will always be safe in my care. My passion for working with kids inspired me to start a nonprofit called Unik Cause, where I support orphaned and needy children back home in Senegal (West Africa). Through babysitting, I not only care for children with love and patience, but I also dedicate part of my time and earnings to helping those in need. What I Offer: Loving, attentive, and safe childcare CPR & First Aid certified care Fun playtime, reading, and creative games French-speaking caregiver (I can introduce or teach French to your little one if you’d like) Responsible, trustworthy, and committed to treating your child as if they were my own Why Families Choose Me: Children feel comfortable and happy around me because I make every interaction fun, warm, and full of kindness. My goal is to make both children and parents feel safe and supported. 💓 I’d be honored to become part of your family’s support system and care for your little one with dedication and love. I look forward to meeting you!
