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

Hi – my name is Daria and I’m a graduate student at American University’s School of International Service. I graduated from LSU last year and am originally from Ukraine. I’m offering child care, tutoring, and household help. As the oldest of six siblings, I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for children, from newborns to teens. I also worked as a tutor in Ukraine, teaching English, biology, and chemistry to kids (ages 5–18) and adults. I love creating fun, educational environments and supporting each child’s unique needs. While studying at LSU, I worked with two wonderful families, helping with childcare, homework, errands, and more, and I’d be happy to provide references. I’m also a great cook and enjoy preparing healthy meals for kids and families. Whether it’s homework help, school pickups, or tidying up the house, I’m always ready to lend a hand. I’m an animal lover, too! I used to have a big dog back home and hope to adopt both cats and dogs in the future. I’d be thrilled to work with families who have pets!

"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)."
