$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hello Families, I have been in the Us for Three years; I have experience with kiddos from 8 months until nine years old. I love to do activities outdoor like parks, going biking, or skating. Also, I love to play indoors and do some activities like science projects or safe baking. I'm easy going person; my lifestyle is into a vegan diet. I also like to share some recipes with the kids. In terms of communication, I am always aware of rules, and I will let you know the activities that I’m planning to do with the kiddos; I will ask for your permission before do something with them. (Going out or possible playdates) I love animals, and I don't mind having pets in your home.

Lucy did a great Job with our almost 4 years old son, they were giggling a lot and developed a good rapport quickly. Happy to have her back!

Booked by 8 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hello! My name is Nalani. I'm 18 years old and currently finished with high school. I offer child care services as I have 5 years of experience with babysitting children. I love babysitting and have watched kids toddler age and grade school age since I was 13 years old. I do have the responsibility of taking the public transportation to and from school and the sit. I can cook and provide fun activities for kids such as painting, drawing, music, or the playground if any nearby. I am First Aid and CPR trained. I speak English and ASL. I also have experience with children of special needs and in the autism spectrum as a special needs and autistic woman myself.

Nalani is such an awesome, kind young lady. She was super helpful and inactive with my daughter. My daughter loved and connected with her as soon as she met her. She was super communicative as well. I would recommend families book with her.

Shana $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny and caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including children with autism and cerebral palsy. Families appreciate my calm, nurturing personality, strong sense of responsibility, and ability to keep children engaged, safe, and happy. I’m also comfortable helping with household support such as meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, errands, and maintaining routines that help families run smoothly. As a mother myself, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and creating a warm environment where children feel supported, loved, and encouraged to grow.

"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)."
