Hi I'm Haleah! I work full time in DC as an events professional and my husband and I reside in Alexandria, VA. Babysitting and kids have always been a big part of my life. I come from a big family with lots of cousins, so obligatory babysitting is part of my role. I've worked at a summer camp for kids with cancer for several years, and have a had occasional babysitting jobs around the city over the past few years. Babysitting, pet watching, etc. I'm happy to help.

Wendy 3 reviews

Booked by 3 families in Capitol Heights, MD

A little bit about me… Families often tell me I bring a calm, and engaging presence—especially with babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I love nurturing curiosity through play, encouraging independence, and creating predictable routines that help children feel safe, confident, and deeply cared for. I have several years of experience with infants as well as elementary aged children. Over the past year, I've had the privilege of serving as a full-time live-out nanny for a wonderful family with two energetic, curious children (currently ages 3 and 5). With my experience homeschooling and parenting my own high energy children, this role strengthened my abilities even more. My responsibilities include daily transportation in the family's vehicle to and from school, camps, appointments, play dates, and extracurricular activities, while maintaining a safe, organized, and dependable routine. I am neurodiversity-affirming and have additional training supporting children with learning differences, including dyslexia, and dysgraphia. My focus is always connection-based care. I would love to learn how I can support you and your families needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and background checked with clean driving record.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Wendy. Any family who has the opportunity to hire her will be incredibly fortunate. Wendy brings an infectious energy and enthusiasm to everything she does. She is creative, patient, and has a remarkable ability to connect with children, even in the most challenging situations. Whether she's helping a child navigate potty training, working through meltdowns, or supporting them during moments of sensory overload, she approaches every challenge with calm, empathy, and skill. She teaches children effective ways to cope with big emotions, communicate their needs, and build confidence. Her knowledge of child development is exceptional, and it's clear that her years of experience have given her both incredible wisdom and intuition. She creates a safe, nurturing environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to grow. At the same time, she establishes clear expectations and helps children develop respect, kindness, and independence. Wendy is also an excellent communicator. She is reliable, professional, and always open to feedback and collaboration. We always felt comfortable discussing ideas or concerns, knowing she would listen thoughtfully and work with us as a true partner in caring for our children. Most importantly, our children absolutely adored her. They looked forward to every day they spent with Wendy, and we loved knowing they were not only having fun but also learning, growing, and thriving under her care. We are incredibly grateful for the time our family had with Wendy. She has made a lasting impact on our children, and we recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an exceptional nanny.

Hello! I’m Stephanie. I have over 14 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Most of my recent experience has been focused on infant care and the toddler years, including successful potty training. I love keeping kids active and creative through reading books to spark imagination, outdoor exploration, fun crafts, and hands-on educational play. I believe in patient, positive communication and always prioritize ensuring a safe, nurturing environment. I look forward to discussing how I can support your family’s needs!

We have had an excellent experience with this babysitter and highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dependable, knowledgeable, and confident with children. She is incredibly reliable, always arriving on time and following through on every commitment. One of her greatest strengths is behavior management. She sets clear expectations, remains calm under pressure, and is firm yet fair, creating an environment where children feel secure and understand boundaries. She is also an outstanding tutor who explains concepts clearly, adapts to our child's learning style, and encourages independent thinking. She truly cares about helping children succeed while maintaining a structured, positive atmosphere. We trust her completely and appreciate the professionalism, patience, and dedication she brings every time she works with our family.

"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)."
