Abby $18 per hour for 1 child

New on UrbanSitter but not new to caring for kids 💕 I’m a caring, patient, and reliable sitter with experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to pre-teens. I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I enjoy planning activities like arts and crafts, reading time, and interactive games that keep kids entertained and happy. I’m also able to assist with light cleaning, homework help, and meal/snack prep. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands.

Duna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Duna. I am 33 years old, living in DC, and a Cybersecurity graduate student at Georgetown University. I was an IB Humanities teacher at an international school, taught grades 5-10. Additionally, I have 5 years of experience caring for children of different ages and am comfortable handling their daily routines. I’m great with kids, I connect with them easily, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. Safety is always my top priority, followed by making sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I’m also outdoorsy, so I’m happy to spend time outside with kids (weather and situation permitting), whether that’s walks, playground time, or other activities parents are comfortable with. I come from a big family and have a total of 10 nieces and nephews. Since I do not have kids of my own, I’ve spent a lot of time helping care for them; babysitting, feeding them, and keeping them entertained. This experience has taught me patience and how to communicate with children of different ages. Having lived in different cultures throughout my life, I bring empathy, patience, and sensitivity to my day to day interactions. I also have experience taking care of dogs and cats.

Hi! I'm Iara, a caring, responsible, and organized nanny with over 3 years of experience working with children of different ages. I spent a year and a half as an au pair caring for two little girls, ages 1 and 3, and I currently work as a nanny for two children, ages 8 and 9. I also have experience caring for newborns and feel comfortable with babies, toddlers, and school-aged children. I love spending time with kids, planning fun activities, playing outside, doing arts and crafts, going to the park, and helping with their daily routines. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, kids' laundry, meal prep, organizing, or other household tasks when needed. I'm a native Spanish speaker, a confident driver, and I really value having good communication with parents. My goal is always to create a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and happy.

"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)."
