Melissa $23 per hour for 1 child

I have hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and the elderly, and I understand the responsibility these roles require. I create safe, nurturing, and fun environments for kids while supporting their routines and needs. I am experienced in pet care, including feeding, walking, and daily attention, and I provide compassionate support to elderly individuals, assisting with daily activities and companionship. I also help with household services, including cleaning, organizing, and meal preparation. My background includes working as a teacher’s assistant, interning at a middle school, and serving as a caregiver for more than a year. I currently care for my brother’s dog when he’s away. These experiences have strengthened my reliability, patience, and commitment to providing attentive, responsible care.

Hello Parents, My name is Taiara, and it’s a pleasure to introduce myself. I have been working with children since 2013 and truly enjoy supporting families and helping little ones grow. Over the years, I’ve worked with many families throughout the DMV area and have experience caring for children from 6 months to 12 years old. I am CPR certified, fully vaccinated (COVID and flu), and have my own reliable transportation. I’m happy to provide excellent references upon request. For your convenience, I accept cash or Zelle payments. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I would be glad to share more information and answer any questions. Thank you, Taiara

Very attentive and easy to talk to, looking forward to having her back! Very professional and responds in a timely manner when trying to organize times.

Angelica $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Angelica, I’m from Colombia. I come from a big family and I’m the oldest sister. I’d describe myself as a responsible, loving, passionate and disciplined person. I love to learn and face new opportunities, and I feel, in my experience, taking care of kids is a lot of fun and new experiences. In Colombia I work with kids in my practices as a teacher, but I also take care of a kid of 7 years old for 2 years, while I were studying. When I moved to USA, with the objective to improve my English, I took care of two babies, 11 months and 2 years. Also, I have experience taking care of pets. I have been working with medium to small size dogs. Besides, I have experience as a lifeguard. Fun facts about Angelica: I look younger and I really like to do different activities and sports. I like to approach to the kids in the same way, in general I like to try to have fun with them and develop their capacities.

"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)."
