Hi! My name is Rachel, and I graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, concentrating in Biomedical Sciences. I am currently pursuing my Master of Public Health (MPH) at Boston University. I’ve always loved working with children and creating positive, fun, and meaningful experiences for them! I have over five years of experience working with children through babysitting, summer camps, church programs, and mentoring. I previously worked at Brooksfield School’s summer camp, where I helped lead engaging activities, including sports, games, and STEM projects. I loved building connections with the children while creating a fun, active, and supportive environment. I’ve also volunteered with children through Sunday School at my local church. Outside of childcare, I played collegiate lacrosse and enjoy staying active, especially through volleyball and basketball! I love encouraging children to explore their interests through sports, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and educational games. I enjoy finding activities that match each child’s personality and interests. I strive to be patient, responsible, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment where children feel cared for, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I look forward to connecting with your family! 😊🤍

Booked by 14 families in Fort Washington, MD

Hello families my name is Nakya and I was born and raise in Washington DC. I am very excited to have the opportunity to be part of your family. I have work in the daycare facilities for over 14 years with 10 years experience as a CDA licensed childcare provider specializing in the care of children ranging in age from newborns to teens. I am CPR and first aide certified with special early child care training. also working towards fulfilling my passion in special-education. My favorite Learning activity to do with the children is the five senses I loved this activity because it gives me a chance to watch the children explore their sense while learning all about their five sense. I also enjoy reading, arts and crafts, and engaging in fun creative indoor/outdoor activities that children will find entertaining and fulfilling. My hobbies are writing poetry, reading books and spending time with my family and friends... working with children is my passion and I loved every bit of it.

“Nakya was our first care taker for our son (and our first as parents), from the time he was 4 months old to 18 months. She was especially sweet & gentle with a young infant, which was very endearing. As our son grew -- and we added a second family to a nanny share -- Nakya's experience with a wide range of ages became very helpful. She had respectful tips to offer us as the boys grew and developed. Adult-to-adult, Nakya is engaging, energetic, and talkative. And just as she had helpful advice to give, she was very open to feedback. The only reason we don't still employ Nakya is the covid-19 pandemic; we don't currently need childcare. Thank you for everything, Nakya!”

"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)."
