Booked by 6 families in Mount Vernon, VA

Hi! My name is Danah, I'm a recent graduate who is taking a gap year before moving for graduate school in the fall. I'm looking for a summer job and turned to baby-sitting because I love spending time with children. I have previous experience with child-care, including helping out at a local middle school. I have taken care of ages 1.5, 2.5, 5, 8, and 12. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have my own car and have held a license for five years, meaning I'm flexible with locations. I am a big kid myself so taking care of your little one(s) would be a joy for me. Whether it be reading with them, helping out with homework, or playing, I am all in! I would love to take care of your family this summer :) Please let me know if you would like any references or a copy of my resume. I am also fully vaccinated, so no worries there.

Sasha 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a nurturing, dependable nanny with 14+ years of childcare experience in the Ventura, Californian area. I’m currently in the process of relocating back to the DC Metro area to be close to family. Start date is flexible-and start date is tentatively for mid-October A bit about me: I love supporting children’s growth through age-appropriate activities like reading, music, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and hands-on learning. My approach is warm, engaging, and focused on creating a safe environment where children can thrive. I enjoy using everyday moments as opportunities for learning while building positive, trusting relationships with each child and family. I have some experience with newborns and extensive experience with infants and toddlers, as well as experience with school-age children. I’m fluent in Spanish, love animals, and can assist with light housekeeping, children’s meals, transportation to school and activities, and light errands. Being a nanny is incredibly rewarding to me, and I’m passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported every day.

“We can’t recommend Sasha enough. She was with our family for 2.5 years and was always dependable, professional, warm, and easy to be around. She built such a special relationship with our daughter and truly knew and loved her. Sasha is a great communicator, super trustworthy, consistent, calm, and just has a really laid-back, positive presence. She brought lots of experience and thoughtful recommendations while always respecting our family’s style and choices. She’s genuinely just super cool, and any family would be lucky to have her.”

"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."
