Booked by 11 families in Lorton, VA

Hi! My name is Brianna, I am 24 years old and I am a professional nanny based in the Alexandria, VA area reaching Arlington, VA and DC. I am a screen-free, play-based nanny as I prioritize interactive and imaginative play as well as age appropriate developmental/instructional time. I strive to create a safe, nurturing and fun environment with kindness, creativity and a passion to learn. About my experience— I have been a professional nanny since August 2023. Over the last three years I have worked with children aged newborn-12 years old. Truly, it is hard to say what I haven’t done in my three years of experience! From creating and maintaining infant routines to potty training toddlers and assisting with elementary school drop off, I have had the opportunity to learn so much in the last three years. I value working closely with parents to ensure the best, proper care for their child(ren). A bit about me personally— I grew up in the Alexandria, VA area with my parents and two brothers. I have always had a love for books, writing and music. I love to bake and I spend endless hours crafting all sorts of things! Reach out with any questions, I’m looking forward to connecting soon!

Mila 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mila. I'm a proud mom of two kids— my oldest just graduated, and my youngest is in college. I’ve spent most of my life taking care of kids. First my own, and also my nieces and nephews. Now that my kids are growing up I’m excited to help other families and get back to doing something I truly enjoy, taking care of little ones. I know how busy life gets as a parent, so I’m happy to help however I can. From childcare to housekeeping, errands, school drop-offs and pickups, and cooking. I love being in the kitchen and making healthy, home-cooked meals! I speak both Spanish and English. I currently work in food and retail, but I’m looking to make a move into full-time babysitting work. I’m reliable, caring, and bring years of real-life experience. Thank you!

“I’ve worked part time with Mila and she has an amazing work ethic!! She’s always early, thinks ahead, and is adaptable in shift. You can see how much she cares about kids when we help a nearby daycamp. She talks to kids with so much care and respect (which is why we always send her out as our speaker lol). She’d be an awesome babysitter!”

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”

"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."
