Nurhayat 1 review

Booked by 2 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hello, this is Nurhayat. I live in Arlington, VA. I am a patient, positive, and bilingual 28-year-old with 10+ years of childcare experience. I have an International Relations degree from my home country, Türkiye, and I have been working with children since high school. I am currently studying Business Administration at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), and I am planning to transfer to George Mason University next year to continue my education. I am currently taking care of three adorable children, ages 2, 5, and 6.5. Due to their grandmother moving in with them, I am looking for a new opportunity. I am a planner and a multitasker, and it brings me a lot of joy to be around children and support them as they learn, grow, explore, and enjoy every moment. I believe one of the most important parts of childcare is providing a safe and stable environment while keeping things fun, engaging, and making sure children feel heard and cared for. I am also willing to help with additional tasks. I have references that I would be happy to provide. I have a valid work permit and my own car. I would love the opportunity to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family. Thank you!

she was great with my 7-year-old son. She was really helpful in assisting him with his homework and made a positive difference in his learning

fatou 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a reliable and caring nanny with over 10 years of experience providing attentive, safe, and engaging care for children of all ages. I’m skilled at creating fun, educational activities, maintaining routines,and handling responsibilities with patience and professionalism. Parents trust me for my strong sense of responsibility, clear communication and genuine love for children’s growth and wellbeing..

Fatou is amazing! She has been with us since our son was 3 months old, and she has truly become part of our family. She’s cared for both our toddler and our 9-year-old with such warmth, consistency, and skill. We’ll miss her as our 3-year old starts preschool but you would be lucky to have her care for your child!

"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)."
