Hi DMV families! My name is Kristina, a GW graduate (Masters, 2022) and DC Adams Morgan resident. Having previously worked as a professional in politics, I'm currently seeking babysitting opportunities as a short-term transition during this challenging period in government. I've been caring for children since I was 12 years old, with experience spanning from newborns to teenagers (up to 14 years old). Over the past year alone, I've worked with four wonderful families and am currently providing weekend care for one family while looking to add more flexible shifts to my schedule. My childcare experience includes: -Newborn and infant care -Toddler engagement and development -School-age children and young teens -Experience with multiple siblings -Driving to/from school and activities -Creative arts and crafts -Tutoring and homework help -Outdoor activities and recreation Beyond childcare, I'm also available for: -Pet care (cat and dog friendly - I have two beautiful cats named Emerald and Jasper!) -Household assistance including cooking, cleaning, and errands When not babysitting, you'll find me playing volleyball or enjoying the outdoors as much as possible! References happily provided upon request. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Hello, I'm Shela! I have experience babysitting since freshman year of high school. I'm currently a part-time student working on my nursing degree. From September 2014 to 2017, I worked for an after-school program at a DCPS. There I worked with children with children from all grades, though a majority of the time I was with 3rd graders. During weekends I would occasionally babysit. The children I babysat ranged from infants to pre-teens. I enjoy caregiving because of the way kids shift your perspective on day-to-day things. How walks, reading or other activities can be more fun through helping them discover and rediscover.

Hi! My name is Julia and I am 26 and live in Georgetown! I currently work remote in consulting in DC and I am looking for babysitting gigs on the weekends and after work starting around 6pm on weekdays. I am originally from Maryland and I have been consistently babysitting/nannying for a family with three children since I was about 13 years old. In Richmond when I attended the University of Richmond, I babysat a family with two young boys throughout the school year, I took them to school each morning and picked them up every afternoon. In Maryland, I also use a similar app called Napp where I have helped a number of families with childcare. I have plenty of experience with children of all ages, I have taken care of a newborn at the age of 4 weeks and up to kids in their teens! I am responsible, extremely organized, and just absolutely love kids! I would love to help families out in the DC-area!

Booked by 4 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

I have worked in early childhood education since 2015 with experience working with newborns, infants, and toddlers as a teacher, nanny, and healthcare worker. I have also worked one-on-one as a tutor with children ages 7-13. Education includes a B.S. in Psychology and NAEYC-certified infant and toddler Child Development training with CPR and first-aid certification. I've spent the last six years working as a nanny and childcare provider in Boston MA and have recently moved back to Washington, DC. I am currently available to work full-time in the DMV area.

Orie is an absolutely wonderful communicator who went above and beyond to create an exceptional experience for our youngest wedding guests. She’s self-sufficient, kind, thoughtful, flexible, and incredibly reliable. I can’t recommend her more highly.

Nurturing young minds is my passion! With 5 years of experience caring for children aged newborn to six, I bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. My previous babysitting and nannying roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives, and l am eager to foster their growth and development. I love to do arts and crafts, sing songs, read books, teach cooking skills, and go on walks to the playground, and library. I have experience with baby lead weaning, potty training, supporting physical therapy, and baby development. I have a high school diploma and speak both English and Spanish. I can provide regular updates via text or phone call and always follow your preferred communication methods. I also follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I am also willing to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

Gaby is incredible! She has babysat for my 3 boys for the past six years. She is reliable, trustworthy, and so amazing with kids. My boys light up when she gets to our house. She is intuitive and patient with babies and toddlers and imaginative and fun with older kids. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
