As a Senior philosophy and English double major at Howard University, I bring a unique blend of intellectual curiosity and communication skills to the table. My experience as a debate coach for middle schoolers at DC Prep showcases my ability to guide and mentor young minds. Additionally, my role in caring for my 4 younger siblings, aged 2 years old to 18 years old, along with four years of dedicated care for my infant cousins, highlights my nurturing nature. This extensive background in childcare, coupled with my college studies, demonstrates a well-rounded skill set for the role of your child Or children baby sitter. My natural patience and emphasis on communication further underscore my suitability, making me an ideal candidate to ensure a safe and enriching environment for children under my care. BLS/CPR Certified for both Infant and Adult

Hi! My name is Megan I have several years of babysitting experience with children of all ages. I graduated from Tulane in 2015 and have lived in the DC area ever since. I have a full time job at a nonprofit so can usually only babysit in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to help with any cooking and cleaning if needed! I also have a car so can drive to suburbs outside of D.C. Please let me know if you have any questions!
“Megan was wonderful! She accepted the job last minute and jumped right in with my three kids. The next day they all agreed she was “so nice” and asked if she could come back again!”
Hi - my name is Tiffany and I am a dog mom living in Navy Yard. I am currently work a full time position but am available to work weekends and occasional holidays/ weekdays (please check my calendar/ message me for more information). I have been babysitting through Urban Sitter since 2018 but I’ve been working with kids since I was 15. During high school, I volunteered at my local hospital: mostly in the fitness center day care with children ranging from 10 months-12 Years. In college I have worked with after school enrichment programs with bilingual children, at a Q?rius assistant at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and as a summer camp counselor at my local YMCA summer camp where I worked with kids 4-12 years old, but particularly watched over 5-7 year olds. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and studied Italian at school. I like to bake and am a huge Disney fanatic. I am also good with pets (grew up with four dogs, as well as a rabbit, birds and fish) and love spend time with my dog on my free time.

Hi, I'm Sonja! I'm an entrepreneur who recently left the tech world to build my own business, which I love, and I'm excited to get back into sitting while I grow it. My schedule is flexible, and I'm usually available evenings and weekends. I'm also CPR certified. I've been caring for kids for most of my life. As the oldest child in my family, I started babysitting my younger siblings at 10, and by 12 I was known around the neighborhood as the most dependable sitter for date nights and errands. I kept babysitting through college, so I have more than 25 years of childcare experience. In college I also interned with the Children's Defense Fund Freedom Schools program, where I taught reading to a class of 12 kids ages 7 to 11. My mother owns a child care consulting company in Orlando, Florida, and she used to run a 24-hour daycare, so I grew up learning a lot from her about caring for children. I'm a former Division I lacrosse player and love being outside, so if you want your kids active, I'm all in for walks, park trips and outdoor play. On quieter nights, babysitting is my excuse to watch more Disney movies (Beauty & the Beast is my favorite!). I'm comfortable with cats and dogs and happy to handle walks or feedings. I have my own car, so driving isn't a problem as long as there's parking near you. Feel free to message me with any questions or to book. I'd love to meet your family! :)
“Sonja was great with our son. She showed up on time, and communicated with us well during the booking process and the job. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again or recommend her to someone else.”
