“She was awesome. Took initiative, and helped support me and watch over my son during a small dinner event. She did everything I would have done and more. Served guests, cleared plates, checked in on me occasionally, cleaned up kitchen and dining, kept kiddo occupied. All with a cheerful disposition. We will continue to use her if she’s available. ”

Michelle $22 per hour for 1 child

I’ve raised three happy successful sons, and now I’m a grandma! As a mother of three I’ve seen it all. There is nothing I can’t handle. I was a substitute teacher for Montgomery and Fairfax Counties for a number of years. I am great with young children, babies and even teenagers. I don’t mind running errands, light cooking, helping with homework or driving kids to activities. I have my own car, and I am an excellent driver. I am physically fit, energetic, college educated and I love the outdoors and being around kids! U.S citizen, First aid and CPR certified, and I’ve had my Tdap shot. Would like to work 20-40 hours a week. Excellent reference. My rate is $22-$40 per hour depending on the requirements of the position. Thanks for considering me.

I have been working with kids for a very long time with family and outside of family. I love having fun and also being open and experiencing New things. I have also worked with a summer camp (Therapeutic Recreation) with kids with disabilities so I am open and willing to work with all types of kids. I’m also down to do long term and look for a place and a family to grow with and learn! I’ve also dog sat and am willing to clean around the house if needed. Will also negotiate price if needed! Thank you.

Hi! My name is Oriane , and I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have experience caring for children from as young as 8 months up to 11 years old. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them.

"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)."
