Booked by 1 family in Alexandria, VA

Hi! My name is Princess Ann, and I’m a passionate, reliable, and experienced childcare provider who truly loves helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment. For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages. During my time at The Little Gym on Capitol Hill, I enjoyed helping toddlers build confidence, strengthen their gross motor skills, and discover the joy of learning through movement and play. My experience has allowed me to develop a strong foundation in early childhood education, including social-emotional development, language and literacy, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive development, and hands-on learning through creative and outdoor activities. I strive to create a positive, engaging environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. Whether we’re reading stories, completing fun educational activities, spending time outdoors, or following daily routines, I believe every moment is an opportunity to learn and grow. Building trusting, lasting relationships with families is something I value deeply. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving parents peace of mind and helping every child reach their full potential. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become a positive part of your child’s journey. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Princes’Ann is a great sitter! She provided care four our 4 year old for two days while we had to work. She was awesome, a great communicator, and our 4 year old now wants her to babysit all the time!

"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)."
