"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Booked by 3 families in Quantico, 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 have over 13 years of childcare experience and currently work with infants ages 3 to 18 months. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education, which helps me support children’s growth and development in a nurturing and engaging way. I’m warm, patient, love creating a safe and caring environment where little ones can thrive. I love to cuddle but also believe exploring is an important part of development.

Hi! My name is Megan and I’m 29 years old. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2019. I live in Manassas, VA. I’ve enjoyed babysitting kids of all ages since I was 13. I work full time during the week, and I’m looking to make some extra spending money on weekends and weeknights. In my free time, I like to run, cook and read. I have my own car and I’m willing to travel into DC and to nearby suburbs in MD and VA. I look forward to meeting you!

Booked by 1 family in Quantico, VA
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.”
