Hello! :) My name is Adaeze and I'm a proud graduate of Towson University. I would love the opportunity to babysit your child or children! I've been caring for kids long before I started getting paid for it, it's always been something I truly enjoy. I'm responsible, mature, reliable, honest, trustworthy, patient, and caring. I do my best to keep children engaged, active, and having fun in a safe environment. I've volunteered at a local childcare center and also had the meaningful experience of caring for children in an orphanage in Nigeria. I've worked with children of all ages for the last 12 years, from newborns to teenagers (up to age 15), and with many families from diverse backgrounds and with different needs. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I take safety very seriously. You can feel confident that your child or children will be in excellent hands- happy, safe, and well cared for! I'd love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs.

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.

Experienced in creating and maintaining family calendars, laundry, homework supervision, children’s routines, and living spaces.

Hi there! My name is Victoria and i am passionate about childcare. I have an extensive history of caring for babies, toddlers and preteens. I am fun to be with and I don’t run out of fun activities to do with kids. I love taking walks, baking, drawing and music. I have worked with parents and I understand the importance of having extra help with children. I love the ability to create a safe space for children while parents get some alone time to work, rest, or have fun. I am also excellent in helping with developmental transitions for toddlers and I can be of great help with assignments, science projects and after school tutoring. Your children are in great hands!

We just met Victoria for an intake meeting and she’s wonderful! We are really looking forward to working with her.

"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)."
