Booked by 7 families in Fairfax Station, VA

Hi! I’m Ena’je I’m a reliable and nurturing childcare provider with 10+ years of experience caring for children from infants to school-aged kids. I was raised in an at-home daycare environment and have worked with many families over the years, which has helped me build a strong foundation in child development and care. My caregiving approach is Montessori-inspired, focusing on independence, hands-on learning, and respecting each child’s pace and interests. I encourage age-appropriate activities that support fine motor skills, problem-solving, creativity, and practical life skills in a calm, structured, and engaging environment. I also have experience with sleep training for newborns. I also have experience supporting families with school pick-up and drop-off, including direct school pick-ups, kiss-and-ride, and walking children to and from bus stops. Safety, punctuality, and consistency are always a top priority for me. I enjoy helping with homework, guiding creative play, organizing educational activities, and providing a warm, attentive presence. I adapt easily to each family’s routine and each child’s unique personality. Clear and open communication with parents is very important to me. I keep families informed about their child’s day and make sure instructions and preferences are followed closely. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to being a trusted and supportive caregiver for your family.

“Ena'je is a very attentive person and the kids immediately got used with her. She is very polite and flexible with our schedule. I would definitely recommend her to other families.”

Hi, my name is Krista and I am a college student home for the summer looking for babysitting/nanny jobs!

Hi! My name is Iasmin, and I’m a caring, responsible, and outgoing person who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience taking care of kids of different ages and always try to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m patient, organized, and comfortable helping with daily routines such as meals, playtime, bedtime, homework, and transportation when needed. I also enjoy activities like arts and crafts, outdoor walks, games, and anything that keeps children engaged and happy. Besides childcare, I’m also happy to help with light household tasks and keeping things organized. I’m adaptable, reliable, and love building a good connection with families. Originally from Brazil, living abroad has helped me become even more independent, communicative, and open-minded. I’m always excited to learn new things, meet new people, and create meaningful experiences with the families I work with.

“Iasmin took care of our 2-year-old daughter for the past year and she was wonderful with her. She’s caring, reliable, and our daughter absolutely loves her. We always felt comfortable knowing our daughter was in great hands and would definitely recommend her to any family”

"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."
