Hello there! My name is Brenda, and I’m from Colombia. I’m excited to share that I’m offering childcare services. I’ve been working with children for eight years now, and I’m currently a nanny in Arlington, Virginia. I’m taking care of three boys who are 10, 12, and 13 years old. Before this family, I had the privilege of caring for a baby who was just 10 months old. I took care of him until he was 2 and a half years old. I’ve gained a lot of experience with children. I had worked with really good families that they’ll happy to give you references about my job and my personality. Usually my responsibilities are only about the kids like, cook, drive, play, do crafts and to tutoring.
“Brenda was my children’s nanny for the summer (boy, 9, and girl, 6). Brenda was absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough! She was punctual, professional, and very engaging with the children. She was responsible for getting the kids ready for the day, making them meals, driving them, and playing with them – among other things. My kids loved playing both indoors and outdoors with Brenda. They did a variety of fun activities, including arts/crafts, games, and going to the pool. I should add that my children’s father and I recently separated, and Brenda went back and forth between our two homes seamlessly. The kids had a terrific summer with her, and I highly recommend her as a nanny and babysitter.”
Hi! I’m Sofia and im 21 years old. I’m a full-time student at the University of Maryland, College Park (Class of Fall 26'), and I absolutely love working with kids. I offer childcare along with light household help like cleaning, cooking, and tidying up, and I’m also comfortable driving kids to and from school, activities, and appointments when needed. I’ve been caring for children since 2018, working with kids ranging from infants to teens. Over the years, I’ve supervised multiple kids at once, helped with homework, prepared meals, organized fun and age-appropriate activities, and made sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy while their parents are away. I’m also currently a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), where I support children and youth ranging from 1 month to 21 years old. I’ve worked as a Teacher Assistant at a Montessori school, helping plan lessons, support classroom routines, and give extra attention to children who needed it. Additionally, I’ve been a camp counselor, leading groups, running games, and creating a positive and energetic environment for kids to learn and have fun. I’m patient, dependable, and very attentive, and I truly enjoy building warm, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I would love the chance to support your family and be someone your kids feel comfortable and excited to be around. I can’t wait to meet you.
“Sofia was wonderful! My kids took to her right away. She was on time and was communicative throughout booking. We will definitely use her again. ”

Hi, my name is Allison and I'm currently working at a local bakery. I'm offering childcare and pet care, with light household services up for discussion. I have been watching children from newborn to elementary school age since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included meal prep, bedtime routines, outside and park play, assisting with organizing kid's rooms and toys, reading time, and general playtime. I am happy to work with families with dogs or cats.
“Allison is great to work with! We have hired her multiple times. She is friendly and kind, working hard to engage the kids. ”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
