- CPR and first aid certified: Your child's safety is my top priority. - Responsible and reliable: You can trust that your child will be in capable hands. - Own car: I am mobile and can easily travel within a half-hour radius from McLean. - Loving and attentive: I create a nurturing environment for your child to thrive. - Interactive and fun: Your child will enjoy engaging activities and playtime. If you're seeking a babysitter who genuinely cares about your child's well-being and development, I would love to connect with you! Looking forward to the opportunity to support your family and create positive experiences for your little ones!

It's with much pleasure that I’d like to recommend Ana as a babysitter. She has watched my two children (ages 4 and 7) four times a week for the last 6 months. Ana consistently arrived at our home on time, ready to engage with our kids, with a smile on. She's kind, compassionate, and intelligent. My children really look forward to spending time with Ana and they also look up to her as a role model. Ana is still currently working with us approximately 4 times a week. Ana is fully certified in CPR and First Aid, and has also completed a babysitting course, in addition to her natural talent when it comes to childcare. If you choose to hire Ana, you can be confident that you're getting one of the best babysitters around. You don't have to worry about a babysitter who will just sit and watch TV, Ana is very engaging with kids and earns her fee.

Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and making life a little easier for the families I work with. I’m dependable, patient, and caring, and I always try to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. Whether I’m caring for children, spending time with seniors, looking after pets, or helping around the house, I treat every family with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would give my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your loved ones and your home are in good hands.

$25 per hour for 1 child

My Name is Ashley and I have been working with Children all my life! I have worked in many different areas with children from our family daycare for over 20 years with my mom, nanny for over 5 years, outreach programs, church programs, long term drop in sitter and so much more! Nothing I love more than to see a child smile and feel welcomed and safe!

She was consistently punctual, reliable, and always arrived ready to engage with our children. She is great at coming up with fun and creative activities, and our kids really enjoy their time with her. She was also very attentive to their needs, ensuring they were safe, happy, and well-cared for. We particularly appreciated her willingness to follow our instructions and routines, and she was excellent at keeping us updated on how the kids were doing. We were always at ease knowing our children were in her capable hands. She is a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter that we use often!

Kedija $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi. My name is Kedija. I am a mother of 3 children and have raised them each to the ages of 5, 12, and 17. I’ve homeschooled my two oldest for over six years now. I am a licensed driver, have my own transportation, and have a clean driving record. I can take care of children up to 9 years old, seniors (non-medical), and am willing to provide some light household services (light food preparation, organizing, light cleaning). I can read small children’s books for kids and can play and get along with them very well. I have worked for a mother of 3 young children for a whole school year as a babysitter. I am a very friendly, reliable, and hardworking. I remember and follow rules well. I am also willing to work anytime between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. But make sure to check my availability just in case I’m not available at these times! Thank you!

Gessyca 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Gessyca and I'm 31 years old. I started out as teacher assistant and then switched to ESL teacher but fell into childcare a few years ago and love it so much! My favorite age groups are infants, toddlers and first graders, but I have experience with most ages. I'm looking for a full time position, preferably a long term option. I'm CPR certified, and I have years of experience driving. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, pretend play, dancing, encouraging independent time, and outdoor activities. I'm firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I enjoy going for a walk and exploring new spots in town or playing board games with my friends. I love to sing and travel too! I look forward to hearing from you.

Gessyca is truly the only person I trust my daughter besides her father. She always goes above and beyond to make my toddler laugh, play, eat and rest. She is very professional and reliable, her school experience makes everything flow seamlessly. There’s something soothing about her that makes my very strong willed toddler calm down and participate in the activities without a big power struggle. My favorite thing about Gessyca is that she’s down for WHATEVER: dance party? She will press play. Arts and crafts? Yes, ma’am. Nap time? The baby relaxing playlist is on. Storytime? In 2 different languages. The first time she worked with us was when my baby was 8 months old and now that she is 2, i cannot tell her when Gessyca is coming beforehand because her excitement level is hard to contain. You’re really missing out if don’t hire here.

"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)."
