Hello! I'm currently an undergraduate student at American University pursuing a degree in Political Science. I'm seeking a summer nanny/babysitting opportunity. I have a multitude of experience in childcare starting when I was 15 years old: - Babysitter (4+ yrs) - Theatre camp counselors (4+ yrs) - Behavior counselor for children with intellectual disabilities (1 yr) - Princess Performer for children (3 yrs) - English language tutor (6 mon) I'm an extremely artistic and empathic person.

Hi there! My name is Victoria and i am passionate about childcare. I have an extensive history of caring for babies, toddlers and preteens. I am fun to be with and I don’t run out of fun activities to do with kids. I love taking walks, baking, drawing and music. I have worked with parents and I understand the importance of having extra help with children. I love the ability to create a safe space for children while parents get some alone time to work, rest, or have fun. I am also excellent in helping with developmental transitions for toddlers and I can be of great help with assignments, science projects and after school tutoring. Your children are in great hands!

We just met Victoria for an intake meeting and she’s wonderful! We are really looking forward to working with her.

- Hi, My name is fun sitter and smile creator Iqra, I am hardworking, happy, creative, open-minded, outgoing and a strong driver! I have been taking care of children for the last 13years. I have experience with children of all ages. 0- 14 I love what I do and I do it with lots of love. Children are sensitive, true and unique. It’s important that a child isn’t only being watched but taking care of with real love and care. I also love teaching about world around them to encourage wonder and participation. In terms of discipline, I detest corporal punishment and I don’t believe in that as an option. I believe talking with children to explain morals and helping them understand and personalize concepts of good and bad behavior is the most effective way to help guide children. I am available to talk more in detail about my experiences, as well as your expectations, needs and children! I have a advace babysitting certificate, I’m looking forward for your contact! Thank you, see you soon

"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)."
