Lucie Mendham
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lucie and I am 20 years old. I am currently a rising senior at Vanderbilt University studying Special Education with a specific niche in Literacy Interventions and Reading Instruction. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I have been working with all ages, from toddlers to the elderly, since I was 14. My experience in the special education field has enabled me to adjust to different behavioral and emotional situations and approach them all with patience, insight, and warmth. I feel comfortable in all areas; I can tutor, cook, clean, and assist with all different errands. I enjoy collaboration and am willing to help out with many different needs. I am active and adventurous, as well as compassionate and empathetic. I grew up constantly absorbed in creative and pretend play, and enjoy finding ways to incorporate that into my everyday childcare practices.

Hi! I am currently a senior international business major at Howard University! I am from Colorado but am in DC for school! I enjoy the outdoors, crafts, movies, and love sports! I’m looking for roles asap as my serving job has slowed down:/. I hope to find a babysitting role. I really love babysitting and being around kids. I'm already used to helping with things like feeding, playing, helping with homework, and putting kids to bed. I'm patient, caring, and I always try to make kids feel safe and comfortable. I also like to keep children entertained with fun activities, not just screens, like games, drawing, or reading. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person watching their kids, so I always try to be responsible, respectful, and follow any rules the tamily has.Overall, I treat every child like they're part of my own family. I am currently available all day Tuesday, Thursday, & Sunday. I am available Monday & Wednesday after 1 but then have online classes from 5:10-6:30. I am free Friday until 4pm. I would be open to nanny after my classes end (April 30th) as it would free up my schedule a bit more! From 6th grade to highschool graduation I volunteered every Sunday at my hometown church (Timberline) watching 2-5 year olds while parents attended service. I also unofficially coach gymnastics when I was a gymnast myself , helping coach preteam. I contunited to do that for 4 years then become an official coach for the next 3 years. I also participated in a Christian summer camp as a child which lead me to be a camp counselor for 2 summers! That was overnight as well, having a new group (10+) of kids ranging from 4-12 that changed every week!

$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a mom of three teenagers. Originally a kindergarten teacher but dedicated my life to be a stay home mom. Madly in love with newborn babies and have been volunteering at the NICU at Capital Health for years. Love animals - we have two rescued dogs, an English Bulldog and a maltipoo - interior design and currently training for a marathon. I was born and raised in Hungary and have been living here for 25 years. Spent a few years in the hospitality industry in Manhattan by the UN, but after the kids were born became a homemaker. When my youngest child entered pre-k I started teaching at a Montessori school while she was with me. Had been very busy with taking the kids to hockey, gymnastics, cheer practices. However now that they are older, I would like to spend more time with babies as the hospital is currently not allowing volunteers. If you are looking for someone who is going to be as crazy about your baby as yourself, look no more. I will not be a babysitter, I will be the second mom to your baby.

"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)."
