Eva $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

I am an 18 year old student with a part time remote job and a hardworking mindset. While living with my family, both of my parents worked full time, which meant I learned to cook, clean, and take care of my two younger brothers from age 10. I cannot get on with my day unless I am in a clean space. I enjoy cooking and a healthy lifestyle, and in my free time read, play the violin, go on walks, and converse with any adults around me. My mother also owns a music studio (piano & vocal), and I am always around kids, whether tutoring or taking care of them.

Frederick $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Fred, your local manny. I'm a graphic designer by trade, but I have a knack for childcare and am looking for a local family to provide my services to while I embark on my journey to medical school as I work on my prerequisite courses. I dream of being a doctor someday, specifically a pediatrician or a physician who works with the LGBTQ+ community, of which I am a part of. I have 8 years of experience caring for kids of all ages from infancy to young adulthood. I also have extensive experience working with kids with ADHD and other special needs. In my previous role I did light house keeping, homework help, and pet sitting. I am open to more involved house keeping and tutoring if needed, as well as emergency or urgent care services and overnight stays.

"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)."
