I’m available for: ✨ Full-time nanny positions ✨ Weekend babysitting ✨ Date nights ✨ Occasional pet sitting About me & my experience: • Over 7 years working with children through entertainment activities and events in Peru 🎉 • 3+ years of experience as a babysitter and au pair caring for children of different ages — from newborns to teenagers 👶👧🧑 • Great references available ☺️ What I offer: 🇵🇪🇺🇸 Native Spanish speaker & fluent English 🚗 Comfortable driving with kids 🐕 Pet friendly 🌈 Active, creative & love outdoor/fun educational activities ✅ CPR & First Aid knowledge 🏊‍♀️ Swimming skills My goal is to create a safe, loving, fun, and nurturing environment for your kids 💗 🐶 Also available for dog sitting — I truly love pets! 🎨 As a separate service, I also do face painting, glitter, hair tynsel for parties and events on weekends ✨ Looking forward to connecting with amazing families ☺️💗

Lili watched our two year old for just under four months and helped with our newborn occasionally while I was on maternity leave. She was great with our two year old and he loved the time he spent with her. She was caring, patient, and great at handling the big emotions that can come with being two years old. It was very evident that she has experience in childcare and she was good at keeping our son entertained with activities and following his schedule. We would recommend her without reservation to any family considering hiring her and would hire her again ourselves.

Sami $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m currently looking for a babysitting job in the Arlington area, ideally around 30 hours a week. I’ll be starting my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at GW this fall, with a special focus on children’s mental health—so working with kids is truly a passion of mine! I have several years of experience working with children at the elementary level, including time spent as a teacher’s assistant and after-school volunteer. I’ve also taught dance classes to kids ages 3–10, and I’m more than happy to provide references. If you or someone you know is looking for a kind, responsible, and experienced babysitter, please feel free to reach out or pass my name along! Thanks so much! Would you like a version tailored for a local Facebook group or Nextdoor as well?

"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."

"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)."
