Find nannies in Washington, DC

I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I bring extensive hands-on childcare experience with children from infancy through age 12 and genuinely enjoy supporting kids at every developmental stage. My most recent babysitting role involved caring for two preschool-aged children (ages 4 and 5), where I regularly handled school drop-offs and pickups, prepared meals and snacks, supervised outdoor play, and helped maintain a fun but structured daily routine for 6 months. I am currently a psychology student at University of Maryland, College Park with research experience in child development and attachment, which has given me a deeper understanding of children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs. This background helps me connect with children in a patient, attentive, and developmentally supportive way. I love creating engaging experiences for kids through play, outdoor activities, sports, reading, and creative activities, while also being a dependable and caring presence families can trust. Although I’m new to this platform, I’m excited to build meaningful relationships with families and provide reliable, high-quality care.

Hi! I’m an Atlanta native with lots of experience caring for kids and pets. I’ve babysat for teachers, my nephew, and other families, and I recently worked as a teaching fellow for middle school students. I love getting to know kids, helping them learn, and keeping them engaged. I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple summers, including travel-based programs, which strengthened my ability to adapt to new environments and manage group dynamics. In addition, I’ve served as a peer mentor for three years, supporting younger students through guidance and encouragement. These experiences have deepened my understanding of children’s needs and how to support them with patience, structure, and attentiveness. I’m patient, observant, and good at matching kids energy, whether they’re super active or a little shy. I also volunteered at a Dementia Care Center, where I used art to connect with older adults, so creativity is a big part of who I am. My cultural awareness is another aspect of my personality. I enjoy arts and crafts, staying active, and practicing my Spanish (I’m an intermediate speaker). I also grew up with a Pomeranian-Papillon mix for over 10 years, so I’m totally comfortable around friendly pets! Finally, I am more than willing run errands, though I don't have a car, do light cleaning, light cooking, and light laundry.

My name is Mayara (or Maya), I'm 28 years old and from Brazil. I was an Au Pair in Pennsylvania in 2016 and it was a lovely experience. Then I moved to Los Angeles about seven years ago and kept working as a professional nanny for several families until I decided to start over in beautiful Washington DC. Unfortunately the family that hired me in DC could no longer afford a nanny and I'll be leaving this month. I have experience with all different ages, especially newborns. I'm looking for a full-time position starting ASAP. I speak English and Portuguese fluently and I always try to teach the kids how to speak some Portuguese, which I can do with your children as well. I am First Aid certified, non-smoker and I have a car and a clean driving record, I drove the kids everyday for all my previous families. I'd be happy to answer all of your questions as well as chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search!

20 plus years experience working in the childcare industry. My passion is partnering with parents to help develop the next generation. I believe childhood should be about experiences that are not only fun but also developmental. I love crafts, being creative, reading and learning about different cultures. I have worked in preschools, learning centers, as a nanny, household manager, and even general manager of an indoor children's playground before COVID. I worked as a full time nanny during COVID. My post COVID experience has been as a Behavior Technician working with children between the ages of 2 - 11, and as a head start preschool teacher. I am dual CDA certified (infant/toddler & Preschool) and hold CPR/First Aid/AED certification.
