Eleanor $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Eleanor, and I am a junior at Georgetown University, and I love working with children and animals. I have over seven years of experience babysitting and nannying for families with children of all ages, including several years caring for infants and toddlers. Through this experience, I’ve developed a patient, responsible, and fun(!) approach to childcare, and I always strive to create a safe and supportive environment for kids. I am Red Cross CPR and First Aid certified and am happy to provide references from past families upon request. As a student, I’m also comfortable helping with after-school homework, studying, and daily routines, as well as school pick-ups, drop-offs, and extracurricular activities. I’m reliable and well-organized. I also love dogs and cats, have no allergies, and am happy to help with pet care, light housework, meal prep, or tidying up while children are asleep or busy in activities. I have an extremely flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to support your family and make your daily routine a little easier!

Aseyah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Aseyah, and I'm a 20-year-old junior in college living in Washington, DC. Growing up in a metropolitan city, I don't drive because I've always relied on public transportation, but I'm dependable, punctual, and experienced navigating the city efficiently. I've been working with Crafty Guardians since I was a junior in high school, giving me several years of hands-on experience caring for children in safe, fun, and engaging environments. I've cared for toddlers, school-aged children, and preteens, helping with homework, meal preparation, arts and crafts, educational games, reading, and outdoor activities. I love encouraging children's creativity through painting, dancing, storytelling, and hands-on learning while creating a positive, nurturing environment where they can thrive. I also have experience providing compassionate, non-medical senior care. I enjoy being a supportive companion and assisting with meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, organization, medication reminders, and accompanying seniors to appointments using public transportation or rideshare services. I believe everyone deserves patience, kindness, dignity, and dependable care, and I take pride in making a positive difference in people's daily lives. In addition to childcare and senior care, I'm happy to help with light household tasks, laundry, meal prep, organizing, and pet care when needed. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, patient, organized, and compassionate. I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and treating every family with the same respect and dedication I would give my own. CPR and First Aid certified

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
