Alaia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Alaia and I am a sophomore at American University. I have always loved hanging out with kids, but I discovered my love for babysitting when I was about 14. I had the opportunity to baby sit for a family that went on to have 3 kids, they are now 5 months, 3 yrs, and 5, yrs old. I have been babysitting for them since their oldest was a newborn and I have loved every second of it. As a former lifeguard, I am well versed on child safety, including first aid and CPR training. I have years of experience babysitting children while also watching a families dog. I personally have a dog and have enjoyed pet sitting in the past for families with both dogs and cats!

"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."

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)."
