Kaila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Kaila. I've been working with kids and pets since I was 14, and caregiving has always come naturally to me. For the past four years, I have done ABA therapy as a behavioral therapist working with children ages 2-18. I'm also the oldest in my family, so I grew up helping raise all the younger kids. I used to work as a vet tech and I have three dogs of my own, so I'm very comfortable with animals. I'm starting my master's program this fall and looking for a family who needs someone patient, reliable, and experienced.

Kevin $20 per hour for 1 child

I like working with children because I find it very interesting and enjoy my work. At the moment I am working with a child with autism, he is 19 years old, I teach him to live independently, cook his own food, clean up after himself, do homework after classes at college, behave well in public places.

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.

Booked by 1 family in Merrifield, VA

Hi there! My name is Asma, and I am a dedicated caregiver with a lifelong passion for supporting families. As a mother myself, I understand the immense trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. I have a fully grown son who is now 22 years old, and raising him has been the greatest joy of my life. That personal experience, combined with years of working professionally with various families, has given me a deep understanding of the needs of both children and parents.

"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."
