Hi! As the oldest of three children and a previous after-school instructor, writing tutor, and nanny, I am a caregiver at heart. Raised in Mexico and later Las Vegas, NV, I am fluent in Spanish, currently a law student, love exercising, and hold a passion for cooking delicious (and traditional) Mexican cuisine. As a former tutor, I am passionate about the art of language and writing. I have experience tutoring Kindergarten through college level students and believe every child deserves individualized care and respect. My caregiving experience is vast, from serving as a formal nanny, to raising my own younger siblings with attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and care. I further believe every home deserves respect, and offer housekeeping services as well. I am committed to serving you and your family.

Booked by 10 families in Bethesda, MD

Hi, I'm Mame, but my family and friends call me Coco — feel free to do the same! I'm a trilingual caregiver based in Washington, DC, fluent in English, French, and Wolof. I am warm, dependable, and genuinely love working with children, seniors, and families. I bring a calm, nurturing energy to every home while keeping things organized and running smoothly. With a background in coordination and management, I am highly responsible, punctual, and great at multitasking. I am fully open to Home Manager roles where I can take ownership of daily household operations including cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands, scheduling, and keeping the home running efficiently so families can focus on what matters most. I am also comfortable with live-in arrangements, overnight stays, sleep-in positions, and overtime hours. I understand that family needs don't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule and I am happy to be flexible and go above and beyond for the right family. Families can count on me to treat their home and loved ones with the utmost care, respect, and professionalism. Whether you need occasional help or a dedicated full-time presence, I am ready to show up and make a real difference for your family.

Great communication, thorough and professional. We will certainly continue to book.

Booked by 5 families in Bethesda, MD

Hello, I am Donja. I was born and raised in Washington DC. I just finished my 3rd year being a math teacher. I am now a doctoral student taking a break from teaching to nanny in my free time while in school. My interest in kids began after my siblings were born. I am the oldest of four. My passion for babysitting started when I became my family’s go to baby sitter and now after sitting for 5+ years, and 3 years teaching I have enhanced my skills of babysitting for other families. I enjoy taking walks in DC, visiting the museums, and pretty much doing anything adventurous. I also enjoy helping people, and volunteering in the community. I look forward to working with you all!

Donja was very quick to respond, arrived early, and my 5yr old daughter loved her so much she didn’t want her to leave:) She was very kind, sweet natured and attentive. Definitely a keeper. Will have her again without a doubt!

"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

"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)."
