Fritz-mateen $18 per hour for 1 child

As a caregiver, my name Fritz, I am driven by a deep passion for offering care and support to those who need it most. Through my experiences caring for children, seniors, and pets, as well as my younger brother with Down syndrome and my autistic nephew, I have honed my skills and become a well-rounded caregiver. With my CPR certification, my compassionate nature, and my strong work ethic, I am confident in my ability to provide top-notch care. Caring for my loved ones has been a life-changing and incredibly fulfilling journey. I have learned the importance of approaching each individual with patience, understanding, and a unique perspective to meet their needs. With my autistic nephew, I have discovered the power of creative and engaging activities and effective communication strategies for promoting positive interactions and managing challenging behaviors. Through caring for my brother with Down syndrome, I have come to understand the significance of advocating for those who may struggle to speak for themselves and providing support as they navigate life.

Marilyn 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

My deepest foundation in caregiving was forged at home, where I grew up taking on the vital role of caring for my younger sister with Down Syndrome. This experience instilled in me an unparalleled level of patience, personalized attention, and advocacy. My commitment to the special needs community continued as I later served on the board for a local Special Olympics chapter, championing inclusion and well-being. From that beginning, I became the trusted caregiver for my community. I have been babysitting my whole life, recently stepping up for an extended, crucial four-day period (including overnights) for two young children under 10, ensuring their mother had a restorative break. My expertise truly shines in infant care: I spent four months as a dedicated live-in nanny. I volunteered for over three years, specializing in the care and development of babies from newborn to one year old. I approach every child with confidence, competence, and joy. I am happy to provide glowing references that attest to my reliability and the genuine positive impact I've had on families. I am eager to bring my lifetime of dedicated, motivational care to your family!

Marilyn is a wonderful babysitter. She watched both of our new babies when they were born and as toddlers. She is so so sweet with kids and an absolute natural especially with babies. She loves children and is so tender-hearted with them. She is a joy to be around and her sweet and bubbly personality definitely rubs off on the kids.

Nurhayat 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Bethesda, MD

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

"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)."
