Mariatu $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Newington, VA

My name is Mariatu, and I am 20 years old. I have been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) since I was 19 years old, beginning in 2024. Working as a CNA has given me valuable hands-on experience in patient care, responsibility, and compassion. In this role, I assist patients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility support. I also monitor vital signs and provide emotional support to patients and their families. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to remain calm in challenging situations. Although I truly value my experience in healthcare, I am currently looking to transition into a nanny position. I enjoy caring for others, especially children, and I believe my background as a CNA has prepared me well for this role. Being a nanny requires attentiveness, reliability, and a nurturing personality—qualities I have developed through my professional experience. I understand the importance of safety, structure, and creating a positive environment where children can learn and grow. I am responsible, trustworthy, and committed to supporting families in a meaningful way. In addition, I am preparing to enter nursing school to further my education and advance my career in healthcare. Becoming a registered nurse has been a long-term goal of mine, and I am dedicated to working hard to achieve it. My experiences as a CNA and my interest in working as a nanny both reflect my passion for caring for others and making a difference in people’s lives. I am motivated, compassionate, and eager to continue growing both personally and professionally.

Ashton $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Ashton! I’m a career nanny/family assistant who believes every day with kids should have a mix of structure, laughter, and a little bit of adventure. With over ten years of experience, I’ve worked with families through just about every stage — from baby snuggles and nap schedules to homework help and after-school chaos — and I genuinely love it all. Over the years, I’ve worked with families long-term, managing everything from daily routines and after-school schedules to travel, household coordination, and family logistics. Whether it’s planning enriching activities, helping with school projects, or keeping things organized behind the scenes, I bring a thoughtful, steady presence to every home I’m part of. I’m originally from Alabama but now call the D.C. area home. When I’m not with my nanny families, I’m usually traveling (I’ve checked all 50 states off my list!), at a concert, or hanging out with my fiancé and our Goldendoodle, Rui.

"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."
