Sami $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m currently looking for a babysitting job in the Arlington area, ideally around 30 hours a week. I’ll be starting my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at GW this fall, with a special focus on children’s mental health—so working with kids is truly a passion of mine! I have several years of experience working with children at the elementary level, including time spent as a teacher’s assistant and after-school volunteer. I’ve also taught dance classes to kids ages 3–10, and I’m more than happy to provide references. If you or someone you know is looking for a kind, responsible, and experienced babysitter, please feel free to reach out or pass my name along! Thanks so much! Would you like a version tailored for a local Facebook group or Nextdoor as well?

Hi! My name is Lashee. I’m 23 years old and a proud Howard University student currently attending in person in Washington, DC. I’ve always had a genuine love for working with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children ranging from 6 weeks old to 16 years old, giving me experience with a wide variety of ages, personalities, and needs. I also had the wonderful experience of working with triplets and their baby sister for two years, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for multiples, managing different schedules and needs, and staying organized in a busy household. I’m comfortable multitasking, following routines and instructions closely, helping with homework, preparing age-appropriate activities, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I’m a patient, creative, caring, and dependable person, and I take pride in being someone families can trust. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your children, and I always strive to communicate openly and respectfully with parents. I especially love building lasting relationships with the families I work with and staying in contact even after my time with them comes to an end. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can rely on to provide your children with attentive, loving, and dependable care. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

"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)."
