Hi, everyone. I'm Kayla, and I am so excited to be here. To tell you about me, I am a Virginia native and graduated from Old Dominion University. I moved to Florida last year and have enjoyed my time here. When I was in Virginia, I was a teacher assistant at an elementary school, watching over 40 children. Then I became a nanny to a seven and a four-year-old when I was laid off due to Covid. I have experience helping with homework, light housework, cooking meals, and creative ideas for playtime. I can not wait to meet you and your family.

Hi! I’m Taylor , a reliable, energetic, and patient sitter with 8 years of experience working with kids of all ages. I’m EMT-trained and CPR/First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. I’ve spent the past 8 years creating fun, engaging environments where kids can learn and play. I’ve provided tutoring, after-school care, overnight supervision, and safe transportation to and from activities. I love being creative whether it’s doing crafts, playing outside, or using our imaginations. I’ve worked with children from 6 months to 12 years in both home and school settings, and I also have professional experience through a babysitting company here in the DMV area. I’m passionate about safety, connection, community and creating joyful experiences for kids and I look forward to working with your family! Some of my certifications includes BLS , CPR and AED training , 150 NICU volunteer hours working with infants and premies getting them to gestational age milestones , over 100 hours in classroom trainings working with ages from Kindergarten to 4th grade

Taylor was available on very short notice and helped us watch our sick 8 month old for a workday. She was punctual, friendly, and our daughter was very happy interacting with her all day. We would definitely hire Taylor again!

Booked by 27 families in California, MD

Hello I am Victoria. Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I began babysitting at 16, looking after my younger siblings and families in my community. Known for being patient, loving, and attentive, I’m experienced in overnight care, driving kids to activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I hold a degree in finance and have previously worked at the World Bank. While I’m transitioning into my next career move, I’m focusing on what I love—working with children and providing exceptional care. I come with excellent recommendations and a proven track record of trust and reliability. I am fluent in both French and English. I know I’m too good to be true so here is my BUT… I am allergic and scared to death of pets. It’s very irrational and silly but thats my only downside haha. Please feel free to ask me any information that you need and if you think I'm a good fit for your family I would be more than happy to talk to you.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
