$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Capitol Heights, MD

Hello, I’m Casey! Like many others in DC, I was recently laid off. I’m using this as a chance to take a break from 9-5 desk life, pursue other passions, and spend time with loved ones. During this break, I’m eager to get back into childcare, which I did during and after college, and absolutely loved. I have experience with kids from a few months old to middle schoolers, as everything from a date night sitter to full-time nanny. I’m a hands-on, involved babysitter, who will be out in the yard playing with kids instead of sitting back and watching them. I love sports, arts & crafts, educational activities, and can help with homework. I love pets and am open to light chores. I have access to a car and have a clean driving record. I’m open to occasional or regular opportunities in the DMV (metro accessible or up to a 30 min drive). My rate starts at $25/hour and varies by ages and number of children and travel time from my home in NE DC. Please reach out with any questions or to request references!

Casey was a pleasure to work with! Experienced, professional, and great with our 13-month-old son. Would definitely recommend to anyone with toddlers!

Sahara $25 per hour for 1 child

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.

Fatima $25 per hour for 1 child

PROFESSIONAL RESUME + REFERENCES AVAILABLE About myself: I have been a nanny since 2019, however I’ve also worked as a substitute teacher in between nanny jobs and when I have availability. I have also worked as a tutor for kids. US citizen with passport ready for travel purposes if needed (I understand it’s not necessary for this position.) I used to be a travel nanny which was a fun and interesting experience. I even lived on a catamaran for a few months! I have my associates degree and have been working on finishing up my degree in Elementary Education. Last little fun fact: I actually come from a very long line of teachers - both my parents were teachers, and so were all of my grandparents and great grandparents on both sides. We joke that my brother broke the streak (he’s a firefighter.) Thanks for your consideration!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
