Hazel $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am patient, creative, and approachable, with a knack for engaging kids in fun, educational activities like outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and always provide parents with regular updates via text or phone call, tailoring my communication to your preferences. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. Speaking both English and Spanish, I am eager to connect with your child and create a positive, enriching experience. My goal is to be more than just a caregiver; I want to be someone your child looks forward to seeing each day.

Hi everyone, I’m a certified nurse aid with lots of experience with caregiving for children and the elderly. Prior to being a nurse aid, I was a preschool teacher with FCPS. I’m child and adult CPR certified as well. I’m a mother of four and have three grandchildren. All of my children have finished college and the youngest just became a doctor! I can do weekdays, weekends, holidays, and part and full time positions, if I am not already booked! I look forward connecting with you!

“Ms. Farkhonda was absolutely delightful! She was thoughtful, professional and prompt. My son had a wonderful time talking, playing games and spending time with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter!”

Booked by 1 family in Arcola, VA

I have hands-on experience providing care for children, seniors, and pets, as well as helping with household tasks. I’ve worked in caregiving roles where I supported daily routines, provided companionship, and made sure the people in my care felt safe, comfortable, and respected. I also have experience helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized home environment. What makes me a great caregiver is my patience, kindness, and strong sense of responsibility. I genuinely care about people’s well-being and always try to create a calm, positive, and supportive environment. I am very attentive to detail, reliable, and able to stay calm in stressful situations. I also enjoy building trust and strong relationships with the people I care for, whether they are children, seniors, or pets. I’m naturally nurturing, compassionate, and hardworking. I take pride in being dependable and going above and beyond to make sure others feel supported and cared 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

"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)."
