Hello Families My name is Clifford I have been in the education field for over 10 years. I'm currently toddler/pre-school teacher at USCG in Washington, DC. I am Infant/Child CPR and First Aid Certified. I promote a safe and healthy learning environment. I have an ample amount of experience with children ages 2 months to 14 years olds. Also, I have experience working with children with special needs. Children love me because I understand them, but I also am firm when the situation arises. My skills and abilities come naturally and I am confident that parents wouldn't mind leaving their child(ren) in my care. I love to cook, engage in creative projects, read stories, and enjoy outdoor activities. I have been through a FBI background check/National Child Registry/State Local checks also the Criminal Background check as well. I look forward to assisting your family needs.

Hello! My name is Caitlin and I am a recent college graduate of Howard University on a Pre Med Track, attempting to become a Pediatrician in the future. I am amazing with kids I started a reading club for younger kids in my community back home in Michigan, I also have tutored elementary, middle, and high school kids in my community for many years in mathematics and English. Along with this I play two instruments, the piano and string bass, where I’ve competed and played for numerous charities. I am an avid volunteer and love to help others! I grew up babysitting my neighbors’ kids back in my hometown in Michigan. I’ve always been great with kids of all ages and I am very responsible, respectful, and dutiful in my work! Aside from babysitting, I have also worked as an American Red Cross certified lifeguard and swim instructor with CPR & AED certifications! In this field I have worked with children as young as 6 months! I believe that I am more than capable of ensuring your child’s safety!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
