Hi! My name is Sanem, I have 3+ years of childcare experience in the U. S., caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. Before moving to the U.

Ella $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fairfax, VA

Hi! My name is Ella, I’m 21 years old, and currently a senior in college. I have over five years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning in Sweden, where I regularly babysat for multiple families. My passion for working with kids has only grown since then. I spent a full summer working at a daycare, caring for children ages 0–5, which gave me strong experience with infants, toddlers, and early childhood development. I have also worked as a camp counselor for three years, supervising overnight campers and helping create a fun, safe, and memorable environment. This role taught me how to stay calm under pressure, manage group dynamics, and connect with kids of all personalities. For the past two years, I’ve been part of the Kaizen MMA after-school program, where I help plan camp days, supervise activities, and manage game time for groups of over 90 kids. This has strengthened my skills in organization, creativity, and large-group safety. Outside of my professional experience, I’ve taken care of my younger cousins their whole lives, which sparked my love for childcare in the first place. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and truly enjoy supporting kids as they learn and grow. I’d love to help your family next!

Hajar $25 per hour for 1 child

Supporting families by providing reliable and loving childcare brings me genuine joy. With 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to teenagers — I’ve developed strong skills in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I feel comfortable caring for one child but have no problem managing multiple children at once. I’m friendly, approachable, and maintain clear communication with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page. I enjoy playing board games and puzzles with children and love helping them learn through play. I have completed my high school education and take pride in offering care that is both responsible and fun. I’m certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED for both adults and children, ensuring that every child under my care is safe and well looked after. I am also responsible, patient, and flexible. Additionally, I have my own car, which allows me to arrive on time and provide reliable transportation whenever needed.

Nattida $22 per hour for 1 child

I have professional pediatric nursing experience from Thailand, where I provided comprehensive care for infants, children, and adolescents in a hospital setting. My responsibilities included monitoring vital signs, administering medications, preparing medical equipment, assisting doctors during procedures, and providing emotional support to both young patients and their families. I cared for children with various conditions, such as fever, respiratory infections, dehydration, post-operative cases, and chronic illnesses. I ensured safety at all times, followed infection control protocols strictly, and responded quickly to any changes in a child’s condition. In addition to clinical tasks, I also assisted with feeding, bathing, comforting anxious children, and helping them feel safe and calm during treatment. I communicated with parents clearly and compassionately to keep them informed about their child’s progress. This experience strengthened my ability to multitask, remain calm under pressure, and care for children with patience, empathy, and professionalism. I am confident that my pediatric nursing background allows me to provide safe, attentive, and high-quality care in any childcare or part-time caregiving role.

"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."
