Booked by 1 family in District Heights, MD

Hello! I’m Dasha, I just recently graduated from the Air Force Academy and have moved to D.C for my job. I am offering childcare, senior care, and household care services. For my experience, in college I worked at Philmont as a scout ranger for kids in middle school and high school and taught them to backpack in the back country of New Mexico. I also nannied all through out high school for 2 boys who were 4 and 6 years old. My job included tutoring, crafts, driving to and from school, and cooking. I also babysat different families in my neighborhood. I also am a basketball coach for a 8-10 year old girls team which I have done for 2 seasons now. I love it since I played basketball in college and every opportunity to give back and teach what I’ve learned I’m all over it! I also don’t mind working with families with cats or dogs. Additionally can do household errands and can cook, clean, and run errands.

Dasha was amazing! She was very communicative and took great care of my dog Aspen! Highly recommend!!

Hi, my name’s Lily! I’m a 34 year old DC native. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life, and currently have two cats of my own. I love getting to spend time with friends pets, and will love to get to know your pets too!

Lillian was a great sitter for my cat! She came over daily, sat with him, took photos, and cleaned up any accidents that occurred. I would hire her 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."

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)."
