Booked by 1 family in Washington, DC

Hi! My name is Gabriella and I have previous experience looking after groups of children, as well as pet care. Previously, I have looked after groups of 5 or more children in summer camp settings, as well as previously serving as a virtual tutor for young children. I am a dog lover and I also have been trusted to look after friends pets! I love to read, play mahjong with friends and learn new languages! I look forward to connecting with you.

Gabriella was early to our trial day and immediately connected with my children. She was extremely professional and thoughtful as she got comfortable with our kids and parenting style. Her communication was excellent throughout our engagement. My kids were sad when she had to leave. I look forward to having Gabriella babysit in the future!

Angelica $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Angelica, I’m from Colombia. I come from a big family and I’m the oldest sister. I’d describe myself as a responsible, loving, passionate and disciplined person. I love to learn and face new opportunities, and I feel, in my experience, taking care of kids is a lot of fun and new experiences. In Colombia I work with kids in my practices as a teacher, but I also take care of a kid of 7 years old for 2 years, while I were studying. When I moved to USA, with the objective to improve my English, I took care of two babies, 11 months and 2 years. Also, I have experience taking care of pets. I have been working with medium to small size dogs. Besides, I have experience as a lifeguard. Fun facts about Angelica: I look younger and I really like to do different activities and sports. I like to approach to the kids in the same way, in general I like to try to have fun with them and develop their capacities.

Hello! My name is Pamela, and I’m a warm, responsible, and energetic caregiver with a background in educational psychology and over 5 years of experience working with babies, children’s and teenagers I love engaging children through creative and educational activities—like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and games that encourage learning and emotional growth. My psychology background helps me understand each child’s individual needs, support positive behavior, and create a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive. I’m CPR-certified, fluent in Spanish and English, and always prioritize safety, communication, and kindness. Families describe me as patient, organized, and fun to be around.

"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)."
