Hello Families, My name is Jessica, and I’m 30 years old with over six years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I am currently working with a wonderful family in Alexandria, VA, caring for their 10-month-old daughter. As she will be starting daycare in October, I am now seeking a new full-time position. I am CPR certified and experienced with tummy time, solids introduction, and developmental activities tailored to infants and toddlers. Families describe me as outgoing, caring, and fun-loving. Working with children is my passion—I find great joy in supporting their growth, helping them learn new skills, and nurturing their development. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, studying, reading, and spending time with friends, as well as exploring museums, vineyards, and restaurants. I would be happy to provide excellent references upon request and would love the opportunity to discuss how I can support your family’s needs. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jessica

Jessica is wonderful! Very professional and she did a great job winning over our skeptical 11-month old, and took great care of him.

Booked by 26 families in Arlington, VA

Hi! My name is Lily. I am currently in my second year of law school. I am offering occasional and one time childcare and pet care services in the DC/Northern Virginia area. I have been babysitting since I was a teenager. I have taken care of all ages at various times within the past 12 years (babies to middle schoolers). Throughout my college career and the year after graduation, I had several full time nannying jobs at various times. My responsibilities at past jobs have included driving to/from various appointments, school, and after-school activities, helping with homework, and coming up with fun activities on summer and weekend days. I am also Red Cross CPR certified for both infants and children/adults. I also always make sure to clean up after meals, activities, etc. I am comfortable working with families who have pets, and am always happy to help out with them (walk the dog, feed any pets, etc.) as needed! I am experienced with pet-sitting as well. I have a dog at home, and grew up with many pets.

Lily was great! Our daughter loved hanging out with her.

"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
