Duna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Duna. I am 33 years old, living in DC, and a Cybersecurity graduate student at Georgetown University. I was an IB Humanities teacher at an international school, taught grades 5-10. Additionally, I have 5 years of experience caring for children of different ages and am comfortable handling their daily routines. I’m great with kids, I connect with them easily, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. Safety is always my top priority, followed by making sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I’m also outdoorsy, so I’m happy to spend time outside with kids (weather and situation permitting), whether that’s walks, playground time, or other activities parents are comfortable with. I come from a big family and have a total of 10 nieces and nephews. Since I do not have kids of my own, I’ve spent a lot of time helping care for them; babysitting, feeding them, and keeping them entertained. This experience has taught me patience and how to communicate with children of different ages. Having lived in different cultures throughout my life, I bring empathy, patience, and sensitivity to my day to day interactions. I also have experience taking care of dogs and cats.

Booked by 4 families in Capitol Heights, MD

Hey! I’m Chelsea. I am a bilingual babysitter English/Spanish. I work at a head-injury rehab center as a cognitive retrainer, so patience and helping people stay on track are basically my superpowers at this point. I also run an improv group apart of the rehabilitation center, which means I’m great at coming up with fun games on the spot and keeping kids engaged. I’m CPR and AED certified. I’m all about keeping kids engaged and having fun — whether that means turning homework into a mini game, building forts in the living room, or coming up with silly crafts and challenges. I love getting kids laughing, learning, and using their imagination. I have my own reliable transportation, so I can help with school pick-ups, drop-offs, and getting kids to activities. I also have experience working with pets as i do rover part time! I love animals.

Chelsea was amazing. Both of our children connected with her right away. our daughter loved her so much she asked if Chelsea can come back tomorrow and our son stayed close to her for the longest time which saids everything about how safe and comfortable he felt. when I asked my daughter what the best part of the day was, she said playing with Chelsea. We had a very busy workday, and in the middle of it our before starting the day our child experiexed morning sickness and began vomiting. Chelsea handled everything with calm and care. she even went out to get crackers and an electrolytes drinks . her ability to adapt quickly and make thoughtful decision was truly impressive. thank you, Chelsea, for being so patient, attentive and supportive.

"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)."
