Hi DMV families! My name is Kristina, a GW graduate (Masters, 2022) and DC Adams Morgan resident. Having previously worked as a professional in politics, I'm currently seeking babysitting opportunities as a short-term transition during this challenging period in government. I've been caring for children since I was 12 years old, with experience spanning from newborns to teenagers (up to 14 years old). Over the past year alone, I've worked with four wonderful families and am currently providing weekend care for one family while looking to add more flexible shifts to my schedule. My childcare experience includes: -Newborn and infant care -Toddler engagement and development -School-age children and young teens -Experience with multiple siblings -Driving to/from school and activities -Creative arts and crafts -Tutoring and homework help -Outdoor activities and recreation Beyond childcare, I'm also available for: -Pet care (cat and dog friendly - I have two beautiful cats named Emerald and Jasper!) -Household assistance including cooking, cleaning, and errands When not babysitting, you'll find me playing volleyball or enjoying the outdoors as much as possible! References happily provided upon request. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Booked by 4 families in Mount Rainier, MD

I have worked in early childhood education since 2015 with experience working with newborns, infants, and toddlers as a teacher, nanny, and healthcare worker. I have also worked one-on-one as a tutor with children ages 7-13. Education includes a B.S. in Psychology and NAEYC-certified infant and toddler Child Development training with CPR and first-aid certification. I've spent the last six years working as a nanny and childcare provider in Boston MA and have recently moved back to Washington, DC. I am currently available to work full-time in the DMV area.

Orie is an absolutely wonderful communicator who went above and beyond to create an exceptional experience for our youngest wedding guests. She’s self-sufficient, kind, thoughtful, flexible, and incredibly reliable. I can’t recommend her more highly.

Booked by 12 families in Mount Rainier, MD

Hello, I'm Shela! I have experience babysitting since freshman year of high school. I'm currently a part-time student working on my nursing degree. From September 2014 to 2017, I worked for an after-school program at a DCPS. There I worked with children with children from all grades, though a majority of the time I was with 3rd graders. During weekends I would occasionally babysit. The children I babysat ranged from infants to pre-teens. I enjoy caregiving because of the way kids shift your perspective on day-to-day things. How walks, reading or other activities can be more fun through helping them discover and rediscover.

Booked by 1 family in Mount Rainier, MD

Hi! My name is Rokhaya. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life, not just as a job, but as family. As the firstborn of five younger siblings, I’ve been actively caring for infants and children since I was 13. Being the oldest taught me responsibility, patience, and how to nurture children with love and consistency. Professionally, I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience with a wide range of ages (including twins), from five-month-old infants to toddlers, preschoolers, and older children up to 10 years old. I’m comfortable adjusting to each child’s needs, routines, and personality, whether that means bottle-feeding, playtime, helping with homework, or simply creating a calm and safe environment. I’m known for being very warm, gentle, and attentive. I genuinely love children, and that shows in the way I care for them. I enjoy creating positive, joyful spaces through music, outdoor time, and creative activities. I also love nature, which often inspires calm play and meaningful connection with kids. I’m bilingual and speak both English and French fluently, which can be a great asset for families looking to expose their children to another language. Overall, I take pride in being reliable, nurturing, and present, and I treat every child I care for as if they were my own.

"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."

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)."
