Hello Families šŸ«¶šŸ¾ 😊 A little bit about me, I am a mother to my phenomenal 4 year old daughter! I’m also the eldest daughter of 14 Siblings. I’ve been in the childcare field for 16 years. I first started as a babysitter then gained experience and knowledge throughout the years transitioning into a nanny. More recently I have taken on positions doing House-Management. I’m hoping to find roles like this. A few of my MANY hobbies include trail walks, reading, solving puzzles, DIY projects, gardening, traveling and trying new things. I would consider myself to be very outdoorsy. I love to find new activities to do everyday such as neighborhood walks, parks, indoor play places, museums, farms, zoos,etc. I believe learning/discovery happens best outside the home. Out of home activities help promote appropriate social interactions amongst people, animals and the environment. ā˜€ļø Whenever indoors with children I turn my focus on learning, development skills, imagination play, crafts & mind stimulation depending on their age group. For older children I focus on life skills such a cleaning habits, preparing simple meals , engaging in hobbies , social knowledge and more!āœļø I am a strong believer in speaking to children as human beings. I respect & towards compassion towards their feelings, even the big ones. This allows them to feel heard & know that what they feel and say matters. These are all ideas & concepts that I would love to bring to a future family šŸ’œ I am available for House-Manager & personal assistant positions including task such as: booking appts & travel. Organizing events, updating calendars, meal prep, house cleaning, decluttering and organizing, transportation, home/business shopping & so much more please reach out to me to discuss this pay scale! I can’t wait to hear from you šŸ¤— ā­ļø 16 years of experience (all ages/abilities) ā­ļøAble to provide transportation needs ā­ļøComfortable with most pets ā­ļøFood prep/cooking, cleaning experience ā­ļøCPR/First Aid experience ā­ļø Non smoker/drinker ā­ļøAble to provide clean background/reviews and references ā­ļøwilling to travel 25+ miles ā­ļøExperienced with nanny-shares/travel care/overnight care/event childcare

Trilingual nanny & house manager (English–Spanish–French) with 7+ years of experience supporting families in DC and abroad. I’ve worked as an au pair, teacher, and now full-time nanny/house manager, caring for children from newborn to 13 years old. I’m highly organized and proactive — experienced in laundry systems, returns, errands, meal prep, schedule management, bedtime routines, homework support, and keeping the home running smoothly while parents are at work. Families describe me as reliable, loving, patient, and extremely detail-oriented. I love creating a fun, calm, and engaging environment for kids, while helping parents feel supported and reducing their mental load. Open to occasional, part-time, or full-time positions.

My name is Bridget and I graduated this past May from Georgetown where I got a masters degree in tumor biology. Throughout college I volunteered at the children's hospital in both the PICU and the NICU, and ran study visits for a lab researching BLW/first foods. Last year I worked as an anesthesia technician, where I took CPR certification classes every 3 months. I have been babysitting kids of all ages since high school and love meeting new families!

ā€œShowed up promptly, communicated well, and had fun with our son who is often picky and has anxiety. A+ā€

Hi! - My name is Mamoshibudi but I go by Shiby! I hold bachelor in commercial law degree from South Africa hoping to get into American law school fall of 2025 and was a Speech Therapy Assistant in Maryland. I offered child care with emotional support, senior care as well as basic pet care. I was an Au Pair where I worked with kids aged 3 to 7 years old doing many tasks such as school prep, home schooling, pick ups/drop off, laundry, cooking, interactive playtime just to name a few. Before becoming a Speech Therapy Assistant of which I only did during the pandemic I briefly nannied for a wonderful family with two children aged 5 & 7 and I worked as a part time senior caretaker. I truly have a passion for children and seniors and hope to work with you in the future!

ā€œOmg!!! Best babysitter!! My children loved her. My daughter was crying because she has to leave. She was very engaging with children, she fed them and made sure they were safe. She even gave my child some language lessons. She will definitely be my children babysitter. Loved her personality and energy! You will not regret booking her!! Thank you for everything! šŸ¤—ā€

"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
