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.

Maeve $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! My name is Maeve, and I am a first-year law student in DC. Prior to law school, I worked as an English teacher and have always enjoyed spending time with kids. I’ve taught at the high school level and regularly volunteered with middle and lower school students. I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages. Throughout college, I babysat regularly for a family with a 1-year-old, a 5-year-old, and their dog, and I frequently care for school-aged kids (ages 6–8). I am primarily available Friday through Sunday evenings, with additional flexibility depending on my class schedule. I would love to find a family to assist on a regular basis—whether for weekend date nights, occasional coverage while you work from home, or periodic evening help. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I am happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to hearing from you.

Nikki $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Nikki. I recently retired from the federal government and am excited to now dedicate my time to helping families in my community. I’m a proud mom of four wonderful adult children, ages 20–32, and I bring over 32 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. My childcare experience started early—my grandmother owned a daycare, and I worked alongside her in high school providing before care, aftercare, overnight, and full-day care. That experience gave me a strong foundation in creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments for children. I also hold a Food Handler’s License, so preparing meals and snacks is never a problem. In addition to childcare, I love pets and would be happy to help with pet sitting. I also enjoy supporting seniors and am available for non-medical companionship, light errands, or simply providing a friendly helping hand. I truly love caring for others, whether it’s children, pets, or seniors, and I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate.

"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)."
