Booked by 4 families in Silver Spring, MD

Hi there, my name is Nayelys! I am a current masters student at Georgetown University and I am looking for a family that I can work with in shaping young little minds. I have about 5 years of experience overall working with kids between newborn age and 7 years old. I grew up with cats and have a dog back home so I am more than willing to be around and even care for your furry friends. I can also help with homework time and I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I am originally from Florida, but I will be residing in DC for at least the next two years. I am excited to work alongside you in helping your children grow!

Profile: Hi my name is Raquel, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. My first language is Spanish and I find great pleasure introducing children language skills like Spanish, with their parents’ consent of course. I am also AA in Early Childhood Education. I’m an experienced nanny that has been working with families and their children for 24 years. I’m easy going, warm and loving, I care for children as they were my own. I have worked mostly with DC residents but also travel to Virginia from time to time. I hold a clean drivers record, CPR certificate and good references from people that I have worked over the years. I believe I am a good Nanny because, I focus on getting to know the child’s temperament and establish a loving and respectful bond that is naturally mutual between the children and me. I provide opportunities for children to grow and learn in a save environment setting. I help children develop their identity and self-confidence. Through-out the day we also visit many local playgrounds, libraries, play groups and community activities. Also, for indoor activities, I engage children with books, art, music, self-caring and biological development as feeding, sleeping and diaper change. I only expose children to TV if it’s part of the parents’ routine otherwise, TV is not a necessity during my time with them. In addition of caring and providing learning opportunities for children, as part of my responsibility, I keep the play area and the kitchen neat, clean the child’s laundry and keep their room clean. I would be happy to continue to converse about my work experience and my character if you requested.

Hi! I am Charleen, a 21 year old college student studying Business and Art, based in Silver Spring, MD. I offer childcare, pet care, tutoring, and light household help. I have a lot of experience with kids of different ages. I helped raise my younger brother and have also babysat toddlers and young kids for many families.

I am bloodborne pathogens certified and always prioritize safety, patience, and good decision making. While I am not CPR certified yet, I have strong problem solving skills and stay calm in any situation. I also have plenty of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and have been pet sitting for several years. I have a little dog of my own named Snowball, he’s an 10 year old Maltese and is the sweetest baby ever. If you are looking for someone who is dependable, easygoing, and great with kids and pets, I would love to connect with your family!

Hello there, My name is Eleanor and I am a former preschool teacher with 20+ years of experience as a teacher working with both a two/3-year-old and three/4-year-old classroom. About five years ago,after throughly enjoying my time as a teacher,I decided I was ready for a change and decided to focus on being a nanny. I have worked with many wonderful families that include children ages four months to five years old. I enjoy getting out in nature and other outings such as story time at the library or trips to the zoo. Getting creative, exploring and having adventures together are just a few of the things I love about spending time with young children. I am currently looking to join a family in a full day position beginning as early as August 24th I am able to guaranteed a commitment until at least March 31,2027 with the strong possibility of being available until July 1st,2027. Thank you 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)."
