Hi! My name is Savannah. I’m a college student with a passion for working with kids. I have 2 years of babysitting experience. I am currently taking a semester off which allows me more free time. In my free time, I love dancing and staying active. I also have experience working as a camp counselor so I’m used to running activities with kids I’m responsible, patient, and always bring a positive attitude. I enjoy creating fun, safe, and engaging experiences for the children I care for, and I’m excited to support families who need an extra helping hand.

Booked by 1 family in Alexandria, VA

Hi! My name is Epiphany and I have been a teacher for the last 5 years. I am originally from Nashville, TN, but have been in the DMV area for the last 7 years now. My passion for wanting to educate children came from simply always being around children and seeing what their wants and needs are. Children are my passion and I have worked with all ages on many different levels. Babysitting is just another way for me to show children that they are allowed to be kids! I will support their learning process, all while having a blast! I always like to come with a babysitting bag that includes toys, coloring books, games, and even arts and crafts supplies, with permission of course. My bag also includes a jacket, umbrella, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and disposable wipes. I can be very flexible and open with scheduling as well. Some fun things about me: I love to sing, exercise, cook, and most importantly eating!

“Epiphany is AMAZING! She is reliable, trustworthy, thoughtful, and a great communicator.”

Melissa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Melissa Sanchez, I am 27 years old and I have 5 years of child care experience. I am patient, creative, and loving. I like reading and outdoor activities and working. For me, being part of the child development is a great opportunity to support all of the child’s skills regarding to their cognitive development. My pedagogical background let’s me be focused on the child’s intellectual development. I am in Alexandria VA and I hope to find a sweet family who let’s me assist with daily child care, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. Additionally, I have just renewed my CPR/first aid certification, have all of my shots, and have glowing references from previous employers. Looking forward meeting you!

"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)."
