I am trained in infant CPR, having huge experience caring for especially infants, toddlers and preschoolers. My rate is negotiable depending on what child care services are expected from me. I value punctuality. I am reliable, dependable and trustworthy maintaining loyalty and stability. I also worked in D. C. so I am familiar with all Smithsonian Museums, water parks, playgrounds, libraries, community centers both in DC. My motto is lead with kindness providing a nurturing and caring environment and evolve to include taking the little ones to the library, playground, community activities and play dates. I focus on kids' learning, and try being a competent teacher, good at nonverbal children, being a good swimmer helping kids summer time. I make sure they meet and exceed all their mile stones. I teach appropriate social behaviors, such as being respectful to others planning age appropriate activities, being passionate to contribute positively to children’s lives while working. I love to keep kids learning, laughing and active. I am familiar with basic safety protocol with toddlers and infants. I am comfortable administering basic first aid. Looking forward to hearing from you when convenient. Regards! Aysen

Aysen was great, this was our first time leaving our son with a new sitter while we went out and she made me feel right at ease, immediately connecting with him and listening to all my information and asking questions. Highly recommend and will definitely be working with again in the future!

Booked by 4 families in Alexandria, VA

I live in Alexandria and I’m looking for a great family to support full time. I started out as a nanny and family house manager then went into IT for a number of years as a Project Manager. I am seeking to return to a full-time house manager / nanny or nanny only position that also supports a family with newborn and or active kids who need day to day transportation to school, friends, sports, homework help and extracurricular activities. I know I can help bring order to a family who needs my extra set of hands, mind, and experience can bring. I’m an experienced event and party planner, personal chef and meal planning, support homework and home routines for the children, and manage vendors and service providers for projects that maybe needed in the home. Also available for full weekend support / overnight care. Need a weekend away? Have a special event coming up? Plan ahead and book a weekend now. FRIDAY - 6 PM to Sunday 6 PM I’m an experienced nanny of newborns to 17 year olds. I have: College degree My own transportation I have excellent references and current clearances and background checks from: FBI Criminal Background History FBI Fingerprinting DOD Army Clearance Clean driving record No drinking No smoking I love doing creative age appropriate activities with children. Reading, tummy time, music, and more for infants. The list of activities grows as the children grow. We can discuss time options, children’s sports and social schedules, weekend and other requirements.

I got stuck in DC because of flight cancellations and ending up with my 3 year old daughter and prep meeting with clients for an important next day meeting. Mary Beth arrived at the hotel promptly (in advance) and with only a request that afternoon. My daughter loved her. Indeed, she was able to do things with Patina that are hard for me -- get her to draw, tell stories, get her PJs on, and get into bed on time. Terrific.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
