Eliza $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Eliza! I am a student at Virginia Tech studying Early Childhood Development and Education. I have my own vehicle and a clean driving record. I have experience caring for children from 5 weeks to 14 years. Here are some fun facts to help you get to know me! - Before coming to VT, I worked for a year as a full-time nanny for a 2-year-old! - I have done theater for the past 10 years! (Aka I love singing, dancing, performing, storytelling, make-believe, and dress-up!) - My favorite place to be is outside. Whether that means talking a walk, playing in the mud, shooting a basketball or taking on the playground, I'm in! - I LOVE Arts and Crafts. Finger painting, coloring, experiments (science is art!), jewelry making, etc; I always have a new kid-friendly craft idea brewing! - I have studied American Sign Language for four years! - My sister is Type 1 Diabetic with a severe food allergy, so I have experience caring for both. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Emily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Em! I've been babysitting for at least 10 years, for children of all ages. Most recently I was nannying for a 3 month old until he turned 12 months and was ready to go to day-care. A little bit about me; I work part-time at a gluten-free/vegan bakery on Saturdays, walk dogs M-Th, and in my free time I do art and sometimes sell my wares at markets. I live with my medium-sized dog named Basil who's about 7 years old. I also love tattoos, indoor plants, and hanging out in nature whenever possible! In terms of care, I love actively playing with the kids, rather than sitting them in front of a screen, and I like to do activities like arts and crafts, reading books, hide and seek, and playing outdoors. I'm friendly with any kind of pets, and I'm willing to consider families with up to three children. I'm looking forward to hearing about your little guy(s) :)

Camaiya $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Camaiya, and I’m an experienced and caring nanny with over six years of hands-on childcare experience. I truly love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe in a positive environment. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and have developed strong skills in creating fun activities, supporting learning, and maintaining a structured routine. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I enjoy planning engaging activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that help children develop both socially and creatively. My goal as a nanny is always to create a safe, loving, and supportive space where children can thrive. I do have my certs as well with a certification in gentle parenting, if that is the parenting style you are interested in.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
