Catherine $30 per hour for 1 child

My priority is the safety of the kids and make sure they feel comfortable and safe and happy. Ive been working with this family for 5years and i also work part time with other families. First kid was 9 months. And after a year the mom gets pregnant for the second child. My priority is make sure baby feed and change and get a walk everyday for fresh air. Every morning when i start, I’ll cooke some breakfast and change them and take outside to go to playground. When the kids is napping i will clean up, like load dishes and unload and wash bottles, do some laundry and make sure to put it away after. Meal prep and i also love taking dog outside for a walk.

Booked by 1 family in Potomac, MD

Hello! I am TG, an international development practitioner by trade. I am a mother to an 8-year-old beautiful girl. After many years of international work, I am taking time off from my day job to go back to grad school and to enjoy the little things in life. One of the things I enjoy caring for kids. It is a great bonus that I can do that while helping pay my bills. I hope you reach out to me for a chat about your kid/s and their childcare needs. Thanks, TG

Hi, I’m Henry! I’m an 18 year old recent graduate from Sidwell Friends School planning on attending the University of Chicago after a gap year. I live in Chevy Chase DC, and I’d love to make babysitting part of my year! I love playing sports, playing board and card games, and spending time outside. I also am an Eagle Scout. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience with dogs. I have a car and can help with household chores. I’m available through the summer and school year. Looking forward to meeting you!

Kihara $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Potomac, MD

Hi! My name is Kihara, and I recently graduated from the University of Maryland Global Campus. I am currently offering child care, senior care, and household assistance services. I have been babysitting since I was 16 years old and truly enjoy working with children of all ages — from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. My experience includes school drop-offs and pick-ups, helping with homework and tutoring, organizing crafts and outdoor activities, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. In addition to childcare, I work as a household assistant and can help with cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands to help keep your home running smoothly. I also have personal experience caring for my great-grandmother and am very comfortable providing senior care. I can assist with meal preparation, transportation to appointments, companionship, and daily tasks — and I’m even a great bridge partner! Please note that I am allergic to cats, but I’m more than happy to work with families who have dogs.

"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)."
