Maty Washington
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Maty, and I’m a high school senior about to graduate. I grew up helping care for my younger siblings and nieces, and I used to live with my grandparents, which gave me early experience with both child and senior care. I’m kind, reliable, and love creating a safe, fun space for kids, whether that means helping with homework, storytelling, or outdoor play. I’ve also helped my mom with senior caregiving, including cooking, companionship, and errands. I’m bilingual in French and English, comfortable with dogs, and happy to help with light housework or tutoring as well.

PROFESSIONAL RESUME + REFERENCES AVAILABLE About myself: I have been a nanny since 2019, however I’ve also worked as a substitute teacher in between nanny jobs and when I have availability. I have also worked as a tutor for kids. US citizen with passport ready for travel purposes if needed (I understand it’s not necessary for this position.) I used to be a travel nanny which was a fun and interesting experience. I even lived on a catamaran for a few months! I have my associates degree and have been working on finishing up my degree in Elementary Education. Last little fun fact: I actually come from a very long line of teachers - both my parents were teachers, and so were all of my grandparents and great grandparents on both sides. We joke that my brother broke the streak (he’s a firefighter.) Thanks for your consideration!

"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
