I have over 5 years of experience babysitting. I am great with ensuring routines are followed. I love to find creative activities such as building with toys together, reading books before bedtime, or going to the library if traveling. I am comfortable cooking vegetarian meals and I am knowledgeable on nutrition. I am a nutrition major and babysitting to pay tuition. I also offer tutoring in English, math, science, and percussion instruments if needed.

Kinara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a Howard University graduate (B.A. in Afro-American Studies, Cum Laude) with hands-on experience as a paraprofessional and tutor at a DC Montessori charter school, working closely with kids on academics, behavior support, and creative learning. I am especially talented with helping school aged children find their love of learning and encourage creativity as I myself am a writer. I’m patient, warm, and naturally good at making learning fun — I love bringing music, art, and storytelling into everyday activities. This fall I’m starting my Master of Social Work focused on child wellbeing, so this work is genuinely part of my path, not just a job. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and comfortable with pets too (cat mom to a tuxedo cat named Luna). I’d love to bring energy and care to your family this summer!

Riche $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Riché, and I take pride in creating a safe, caring, and dependable environment for both children and pets. Whether I'm keeping little ones engaged with games, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and homework help, or caring for furry family members through walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, I always provide attentive, compassionate care. I'm patient, responsible, organized, and understand how important it is to earn the trust of the families I work with. I believe in being fully present, maintaining open communication, and treating every child and pet as if they were my own. I'm available for babysitting, pet sitting, dog walking, date nights, recurring care, and last-minute bookings. I look forward to meeting your family—both the two-legged and four-legged members—and providing dependable care that gives you complete peace of mind!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
