Hello families! I'm Lwandile, a friendly, patient babysitter based in Alexandria near Huntington Metro with 3+ years of experience caring for kids from toddlers to school-age.

Diana $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I'm a nanny with over two years of experience caring for children from 0 to 12 years old. I'm passionate about supporting their growth in a safe, loving environment filled with fun and learning. I've worked with families long-term, babysitting and also cared for groups of children at church, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with different ages and personalities. I'm responsible, respectful, honest and very empathetic with children's emotions. I'm also creative, patient, and love creating fun moments that contribute to their development. I always keep open communication with parents and adapt to their rules and routines. I have tons of fun ideas, educational games, and activities to keep kids engaged, happy, and safe. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who truly enjoys taking care of kids, I'd love to help!

Neyva $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Neyva and I am 29 years old. I have been working with children since I was 16, which has given me extensive experience in childcare. I have had the pleasure of caring for children of various ages, from newborns to 11 years old. For the past two years, I had the privilege of caring for twins from their first month until they turned two, helping them with tummy time, walking, meal preparation, and potty training. Additionally, I am certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both adults and children, which ensures I am always prepared for any emergency and can guarantee the safety of the little ones. My approach as a nanny is to create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, adapting to the unique needs of each child. I consider myself responsible, patient and honest. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both the children and their families, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and satisfied with the care I provide. I am available to care for children in DMV area and I would be happy to discuss how I can support your family further.

Veronica $25 per hour for 1 child

👋🏽Hi! I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, from 3 months to 12 years old. I started at a kids academy where I led creative activities, games, and age-appropriate play. I'm currently a full-time nanny for two school-aged boys, and I also frequently babysit for local families in my neighborhood. Through babysitting, I've cared for children as young as infants, and I'm a regular sitter for a family with a 10 month old and 3-year-old. Because of this, I'm very comfortable adapting to different age groups and their unique needs, especially with babies and toddlers, where I have the most hands-on experience. What I love most about working with kids is that every child is so different. I really enjoy getting to know their personalities, interests, and what makes them feel comfortable, and then tailoring activities and routines to fit them. I'm very hands-on, patient, and naturally energetic. I love being outside, staying active, and keeping kids engaged-whether that's playing games, doing crafts, or just making everyday routines fun. I bring a calm, positive energy while still being someone kids can have fun with and trust. I'm also very clean and organized, and I always make sure to leave a home better than I found it. I genuinely enjoy being a caregiver and creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for kids.

"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."
