Andrea Joy 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Andrea and I have experience working with children from newborn on up, in a variety of settings. I've worked as a babysitter over the years, as an after school teacher for 2nd-3rd graders, been a middle school cheer coach, and I've also worked as a sitter working at large events caring for children from newborn-middle school age. I am warm, compassionate, selfless and have a very big heart- especially for children. I enjoy a variety of activities with children and always do my best to omit or limit screen time so we can interact and engage instead.

Andrea has been taking care of our kids for years, and has become like another member of our family. The kids love playing with her. She is so sweet and kind with our children, and appropriately firm when necessary. And when she cooks for the kids, coming home to a tidied kitchen is a bonus. Can't recommend her enough.

I am trained in infant CPR, having huge experience caring for especially infants, toddlers and preschoolers. My rate is negotiable depending on what child care services are expected from me. I value punctuality. I am reliable, dependable and trustworthy maintaining loyalty and stability. I also worked in D. C. so I am familiar with all Smithsonian Museums, water parks, playgrounds, libraries, community centers both in DC. My motto is lead with kindness providing a nurturing and caring environment and evolve to include taking the little ones to the library, playground, community activities and play dates. I focus on kids' learning, and try being a competent teacher, good at nonverbal children, being a good swimmer helping kids summer time. I make sure they meet and exceed all their mile stones. I teach appropriate social behaviors, such as being respectful to others planning age appropriate activities, being passionate to contribute positively to children’s lives while working. I love to keep kids learning, laughing and active. I am familiar with basic safety protocol with toddlers and infants. I am comfortable administering basic first aid. Looking forward to hearing from you when convenient. Regards! Aysen

Aysen was great, this was our first time leaving our son with a new sitter while we went out and she made me feel right at ease, immediately connecting with him and listening to all my information and asking questions. Highly recommend and will definitely be working with again in the future!

Hi! My name is Julia and I am 26 and live in Georgetown! I currently work remote in consulting in DC and I am looking for babysitting gigs on the weekends and after work starting around 6pm on weekdays. I am originally from Maryland and I have been consistently babysitting/nannying for a family with three children since I was about 13 years old. In Richmond when I attended the University of Richmond, I babysat a family with two young boys throughout the school year, I took them to school each morning and picked them up every afternoon. In Maryland, I also use a similar app called Napp where I have helped a number of families with childcare. I have plenty of experience with children of all ages, I have taken care of a newborn at the age of 4 weeks and up to kids in their teens! I am responsible, extremely organized, and just absolutely love kids! I would love to help families out in the DC-area!

"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."

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)."
