My name is Julia and I am a health science student at Montgomery College, I graduated high school early and have worked at a public school right here in dc. I am currently providing child care and I don’t mind pets! I would love to be your babysitter and I have lots of experience with kids of any ages up to 12. I am used to helping with homework, going to the park, pool, reading books, and doing lots of fun activities with them.

Hello Families! Like most of us, I have been babysitting long before I was getting paid to do so, and I've always enjoyed it. I have 8 years of professional/paid babysitting experience under my belt and I love my jobs! I also have volunteer hours at orphanages and pre-k classrooms, which were very educative and fulfilling. I enjoy the interaction with the children and the flexibility these jobs have to offer a student like myself. I spent some years schooling outside of the States, which has molded me into well rounded, open-minded individual . I display responsibility and reliability on and off the job and an easy-going personality to be around. Previous employers describe me as very sweet, yet assertive with the children. I am energetic and playful enough to get down on all fours and play Space Explorers with the kids I babysit, yet mature enough to take charge and maintain control. I enjoy playtime and being active (i.e. trips to the park) with children, but I do see it as my duty to engage them mentally while they are in my care. I limit TV watching and enjoy reading to them and doing other age appropriate educational activities. I primarily take on one-time/occasional/date-night/overnight/traveling sitting jobs. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can also be a lifesaver in last minute and short notice situations. I look forward to working with you :)

Booked by 22 families in Silver Spring, MD

Hi! I’m Fernanda, a professional educator and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages, backgrounds, and learning needs. I hold a professional degree in Elementary Education and have worked as a teacher, tutor and babysitter in different countries. My experience includes children from preschool through elementary school, as well as children with special needs. My approach to childcare goes beyond supervision. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, engaged, and encouraged to learn through everyday experiences. I enjoy creating age appropriate activities, reading together, arts and crafts, outdoor play, educational games, and routines that support each child’s development while still making their day fun. As a native Spanish speaker with advanced English, I can also provide a bilingual environment for families interested in exposing their children to Spanish naturally through conversation, play, reading, and daily routines. Educational Support & Personalized Tutoring: My teaching background allows me to offer more individualized educational support when families need it. Depending on your child’s age and goals, I can incorporate: * Homework assistance and personalized tutoring * Early literacy, reading, and writing activities * Elementary academic support * Spanish tutoring and bilingual learning activities * School readiness activities for younger children * Learning activities adapted to your child’s interests and needs I understand that every family has different routines, expectations, and parenting styles, so I value clear communication, reliability, consistency, and respect for the way each family chooses to raise their children. I’m also comfortable with meal preparation, children’s laundry and light tidying, transportation, errands, pet care, and maintaining organized play and learning spaces. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their children are not only well cared for, but spending their time with someone who genuinely understands childhood development and education.

“wonderful experience. definitely recommend. Fernanda took amazing care of our 2 cats and 2 guinea pigs. communication was perfect! ”

"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)."
