Eleanor $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Eleanor, and I am a junior at Georgetown University, and I love working with children and animals. I have over seven years of experience babysitting and nannying for families with children of all ages, including several years caring for infants and toddlers. Through this experience, I’ve developed a patient, responsible, and fun(!) approach to childcare, and I always strive to create a safe and supportive environment for kids. I am Red Cross CPR and First Aid certified and am happy to provide references from past families upon request. As a student, I’m also comfortable helping with after-school homework, studying, and daily routines, as well as school pick-ups, drop-offs, and extracurricular activities. I’m reliable and well-organized. I also love dogs and cats, have no allergies, and am happy to help with pet care, light housework, meal prep, or tidying up while children are asleep or busy in activities. I have an extremely flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to support your family and make your daily routine a little easier!

Millicent $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families!! I am a fun, outgoing, and caring babysitter, who has over 10 years of experience working with children. Working with children has been such a joy! Getting to build trust with children, seeing children develop, and helping children meet milestones are some of the joys that I get to experience as a babysitter. I am currently looking to continue to build relationships with families in the DMV area, who are looking for a date night sitter or part time help. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

isabela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, I'm an experienced nanny with over five years of hands on childcare experience, working with children from newborns to teenagers. I've supported families with different routines, parenting styles, and household needs, and I know how important consistency and reliability are in this role. I'm proactive, organized, and confident in managing day to day care. I'm comfortable handling feeding schedules, sleep routines, school pick ups, homework support, light household tasks related to the children, and planning activities that keep kids engaged and learning. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and understood. I take initiative, communicate clearly, and show up fully prepared every day. If you're looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely committed to quality care, I'd be happy to connect.

"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)."
