Hi, my name is Christina and I am a retired Army officer and now a Fairfax County Public Schools Substitute Teacher. I have raised two children and have a masters degree education (thesis still outstanding) in organizational leadership with an undergrad in psychology. I have used Urban Sitter before and took a break in 2019 for some family time. I have no cancellation rating because I babysit outside the app for preferred families from time to time and help my friend who is a teacher. I come from a long line of teachers. I am from a large family. I have 6 sisters and 1 brother, all dog/cat lovers! Hope to see you soon.
“Christina is extremely caring, welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Our kids completely adored her, and we will definitely be using her services again.”
Hello, Families! My name is Nancy and I am a licensed Elementary School Teacher in Virginia. I love what I do for a living as a teacher. Children are the greatest joy in my life. In addition, I am the mother of one child who is works in the cyber security field. My son is 25 and the apple of my eye! I look forward to learning about you and your little ones! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions. I am available every day/night during the summer months and on weeknights and weekends during the school year!
Hello, my name is Tazlyn I’m a freshman at Nova studying nursing . I’ve been taking care of my siblings ever since I was 12 so I do have a bit of experience with all different age groups. Im a patient, kind, and responsible caregiver looking to assist families with babysitting, pet care, and house cleaning. I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment where children feel cared for. In addition to child care, I am happy to help keep your home clean and organized, as well as care for your pets so your entire household runs smoothly while you are away.
Experienced mom of 5 with 10+ years nurturing kids. Patient, reliable, and caring, with a strong background in customer service and communication. I’m great at multitasking and handling stressful situations calmly.
Greetings Families, My name is Mikiyah, I’m 19, and I’m passionate about caring for others — whether it’s children, pets, or helping keep a home organized. I’m currently located in White Plains, Maryland, and I graduated from St. Charles High School, Class of 2024. I’m about to start my associate’s degree in health sciences to become a dental hygienist, and I’m also exploring creative outlets with social media content creation. I’ve worked with children my whole life and truly enjoy nurturing and supporting them. Growing up in a big family, I’ve always taken care of kids of all ages, which helped me develop patience, empathy, and a genuine love for helping others grow. My first job as a summer camp counselor in middle school sparked my passion for childcare, and in 2024, I worked as a children’s mentor/assistant at the College of Southern Maryland, guiding and supporting students in their learning and daily routines. I also understand the importance of caring for elders — I spent the last months of my great-grandmother’s life supporting her through illness, which taught me compassion, patience, and the importance of being attentive and reliable. While I haven’t formally pet-sat yet, I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. I recently lost my puppy unexpectedly, which strengthened my empathy and respect for animals — I know how much their lives and happiness matter. I treat every pet with love, patience, and attentiveness, and I’m eager to provide care for furry family members. Outside of work, I’m a creative and fun-loving person. I enjoy music, comedy, fashion, traveling, and experimenting in the kitchen — I love baking any sweet treat I can find a new recipe for! I’m an empath, so I deeply connect with the people and pets I care for, always aiming to make them feel safe, happy, and supported. Currently, I work at a bakery and deli, which has taught me responsibility, teamwork, and attention to detail in a fast-paced environment. I’m reliable, professional, and nurturing. Families can expect clear communication, consistency, and genuine care from me every day. I take pride in creating a clean, safe, and joyful environment for children, pets, and homes alike.
