Hello, I am Donja. I was born and raised in Washington DC. I just finished my 3rd year being a math teacher. I am now a doctoral student taking a break from teaching to nanny in my free time while in school. My interest in kids began after my siblings were born. I am the oldest of four. My passion for babysitting started when I became my family’s go to baby sitter and now after sitting for 5+ years, and 3 years teaching I have enhanced my skills of babysitting for other families. I enjoy taking walks in DC, visiting the museums, and pretty much doing anything adventurous. I also enjoy helping people, and volunteering in the community. I look forward to working with you all!

Donja was very quick to respond, arrived early, and my 5yr old daughter loved her so much she didn’t want her to leave:) She was very kind, sweet natured and attentive. Definitely a keeper. Will have her again without a doubt!

Booked by 3 families in Bethesda, MD

Hi! My name is Tasheni Mpundu and I have been providing childcare for 7 years. I am currently a student at the University of Southern California studying Political Science and Public Relations and Advertising. I have always had a love children since I was a child and have loved working in all types of childcare and would love to support any families needing assistance. Growing up, I have learned from home how to care for children, cook, clean, and ensure a safe space which made me become the responsible and reliable sitter I am today. I started volunteering at orphanages while I lived in Kenya, babysitting for members in my family when I was younger, and today I have developed strong relationships with multiple families across the DMV area. I have built strong relationships with families throughout the past 5 summers consistently. I am fully vaccinated and I am also comfortable with pets as well as housekeeping. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to learn more about me. I am so excited to meet you and your bundles of joy!

Tasheni arrived on time, communicated her ETA, and took great care of our kids. My daughter requested she come back again!

Hi! My name is Bator and I attended the University of Maryland. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I’m trilingual and love teaching kids French through simple lessons, games, and conversation. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children and can help with homework, crafts, meal prep, school pickups, and routines. I am also comfortable with pets. I’m comfortable supporting seniors with meals, companionship, transportation, and daily tasks. I can cook, clean, organize, and run errands. Families describe me as patient, reliable, and caring, and I love creating a warm and safe environment.

Bator was awesome. Connected with our daughter right away. Did activities with her. Kept to the bedtime schedule and sent updates. Would definitely use again!

"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."

"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)."
