Melissa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Melissa Sanchez, I am 27 years old and I have 5 years of child care experience. I am patient, creative, and loving. I like reading and outdoor activities and working. For me, being part of the child development is a great opportunity to support all of the child’s skills regarding to their cognitive development. My pedagogical background let’s me be focused on the child’s intellectual development. I am in Alexandria VA and I hope to find a sweet family who let’s me assist with daily child care, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. Additionally, I have just renewed my CPR/first aid certification, have all of my shots, and have glowing references from previous employers. Looking forward meeting you!

Frederick $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Fred, your local manny. I'm a graphic designer by trade, but I have a knack for childcare and am looking for a local family to provide my services to while I embark on my journey to medical school as I work on my prerequisite courses. I dream of being a doctor someday, specifically a pediatrician or a physician who works with the LGBTQ+ community, of which I am a part of. I have 8 years of experience caring for kids of all ages from infancy to young adulthood. I also have extensive experience working with kids with ADHD and other special needs. In my previous role I did light house keeping, homework help, and pet sitting. I am open to more involved house keeping and tutoring if needed, as well as emergency or urgent care services and overnight stays.

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Alexandria, VA

Hi - My name is Dili and I'm currently a master’s student at American University. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 15 years old. Though I’m newer to professional child care, I have experience babysitting within my family, always being the designated sitter. I'm excited to bring my positive attitude, creativity, and patience skills to families. I grew up with a single mom for half of my life and know how important having a sitter can be for families. My nana was one of my best friends growing up and I would love to bring that to other families. I also understand the importance of parents being able to connect and have some alone or having multiple responsibilities all while needing for their children to be safe and well care for.

"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)."
