Booked by 12 families in Arlington, VA

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.

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!

Hi! My name is Emily and I have over 17 years of babysitting experience with all ages (infant to 10+ y/o). I started babysitting when I was 13 (am originally from the DMV) and have done everything from date nights to summer nannying to event sitting (weddings, etc.). I'm calm, patient, flexible and love working with kids! I'm looking for occasional date night, weeknight or weekend sitting opportunities.

"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)."
