Hi! My name is Agustina, I’m 27 years old and I’m from Argentina, currently living in Alexandria with my husband I have been taking care of kids since 2020 while I was finishing college. After I concluded my studies, I worked in an oil company and quit to come to the USA with a J1 visa to improve my english and have a cultural exchange experience. I moved to Washington DC in 2022 with a host family, taking care of their 4 kids, (ages 5, 7, 9 and 11yo). On 2023, I worked for another host family in VA, caring for 2 kids (ages 6 and 8) I have also more nannying experiences with kids and babies, for reference. Experience from 7 weeks old - 11 years old. I am CPR and First AID certified, know how to swim, have a DL and own transportation. I like to cook and bake, so would be happy to help in those areas if needed, as well as light housekeeping. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! Can’t wait to meet you!

Abbie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a senior at Georgetown, and more proudly, I'm Aunt Abbie to 13 of my nieces and nephews, ages 2-19. Growing up, they were my life, spending days, nights, or even just a few hours taking care of them. I've been exposed to childcare since I can remember, and I've learned from the best, my siblings, on how to take care of babies, toddlers, kids, and teens. I'm also a member of the track team here at Georgetown, so I'm super active and love getting the energy out (for the kids and me!) I'm flexible this summer and I'm open to all needs and concerns!

Shana $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny and caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including children with autism and cerebral palsy. Families appreciate my calm, nurturing personality, strong sense of responsibility, and ability to keep children engaged, safe, and happy. I’m also comfortable helping with household support such as meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, errands, and maintaining routines that help families run smoothly. As a mother myself, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and creating a warm environment where children feel supported, loved, and encouraged to grow.

Booked by 1 family in Merrifield, VA

Hello, My name is Izzy and I have been nannying for over a decade. I have A LOT of young nieces and nephews but beyond that, I’ve been working in childcare since I was a teenager. I like to make it a point early on to let my families know that I’m always willing to work on price points, my priority is a comfortable arrangement for everyone. I’ve volunteered and worked at a few summer camps in Los Angeles, I have experience nannying children from age 0-11, including special needs, over night stays, school pickup, meal prep, tutoring, light housework, multi child households, and many other aspects of childcare. I’m looking for part time work but I am super flexible! Ideally, I would love to find one family that I work for weekly with a set schedule.

“I'm happy to recommend Izzy because she's reliable, always left the house neat and got the kids to bed on time. My girls would recommend her because she's funny, reads good stories and loves to play games. She was a wonderful help to our family.”

Booked by 5 families in Merrifield, VA

Hi everyone! My name is Kristýna, I’m 27 years old, and I’m currently offering occasional childcare and pet care services. I’m a former au pair with experience in the UK, Italy, and the USA, and I’ve been working full-time with children for over 7 years. I have experience with all age groups, including caring for multiple children at once, and I’m happy to provide local references upon request. I genuinely love spending time with kids and engaging in fun, creative activities with them. I’ve also worked as a children’s entertainer at a hotel resort, which gave me lots of ideas for keeping kids entertained and happy. I’m comfortable with bedtime routines, diaper changes, meal prep, homework help, and more. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out-I’d love to hear from you! 😊

“Kristyna did a wonderful job!”

"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."
