Hello Families! Like most of us, I have been babysitting long before I was getting paid to do so, and I've always enjoyed it. I have 8 years of professional/paid babysitting experience under my belt and I love my jobs! I also have volunteer hours at orphanages and pre-k classrooms, which were very educative and fulfilling. I enjoy the interaction with the children and the flexibility these jobs have to offer a student like myself. I spent some years schooling outside of the States, which has molded me into well rounded, open-minded individual . I display responsibility and reliability on and off the job and an easy-going personality to be around. Previous employers describe me as very sweet, yet assertive with the children. I am energetic and playful enough to get down on all fours and play Space Explorers with the kids I babysit, yet mature enough to take charge and maintain control. I enjoy playtime and being active (i.e. trips to the park) with children, but I do see it as my duty to engage them mentally while they are in my care. I limit TV watching and enjoy reading to them and doing other age appropriate educational activities. I primarily take on one-time/occasional/date-night/overnight/traveling sitting jobs. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can also be a lifesaver in last minute and short notice situations. I look forward to working with you :)

Hi there! I am passionate about childcare. I have an extensive history of caring for babies, toddlers and preteens. I am fun to be with and I don’t run out of fun activities to do with kids. I love taking walks, baking, drawing and music. I have worked with parents and I understand the importance of having extra help with children. I love the ability to create a safe space for children while parents get some alone time to work, rest, or have fun. I am also excellent in helping with developmental transitions for toddlers and I can be of great help with assignments, science projects and after school tutoring. Your children are in great hands!

“Professional and great with an infant!”

Hi Parents! 😊 My name is Hewan! I’m originally from Boston and relocated to the DC area about nine years ago. I’m a Financial Analyst by day with 15+ years of experience working with children of various ages. Childcare has always been something I’ve genuinely enjoyed! My background includes working at Bright Horizons for a year and a half with toddlers ages 1–3, as well as serving as a Senior Teacher with Harvard’s Summer Urban Program, working with 4th and 6th grade students. In addition to my professional childcare experience, I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years! I would describe myself as dependable, responsible, patient, and fun! I believe every day is an opportunity to learn, laugh, and create lasting memories. Whether it’s arts and crafts, reading, or exploring new activities, I love making everyday moments exciting and meaningful. My priority is creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel happy, comfortable, and cared for, while giving parents peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your family! 💛

“Claudia is an exceptional caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure both children and parents feel comfortable and supported. She watched my sons so I could enjoy a well-deserved night out, and she handled everything perfectly—from engaging them in fun, playful activities to getting them ready for bed. Claudia kept me informed throughout the evening, providing updates and reassurance that everything was going smoothly. Her understanding, reliability, and caring nature truly stood out.

"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)."
