Hello families my name is Nakya and I was born and raise in Washington DC. I am very excited to have the opportunity to be part of your family. I have work in the daycare facilities for over 14 years with 10 years experience as a CDA licensed childcare provider specializing in the care of children ranging in age from newborns to teens. I am CPR and first aide certified with special early child care training. also working towards fulfilling my passion in special-education. My favorite Learning activity to do with the children is the five senses I loved this activity because it gives me a chance to watch the children explore their sense while learning all about their five sense. I also enjoy reading, arts and crafts, and engaging in fun creative indoor/outdoor activities that children will find entertaining and fulfilling. My hobbies are writing poetry, reading books and spending time with my family and friends... working with children is my passion and I loved every bit of it.

Nakya was our first care taker for our son (and our first as parents), from the time he was 4 months old to 18 months. She was especially sweet & gentle with a young infant, which was very endearing. As our son grew -- and we added a second family to a nanny share -- Nakya's experience with a wide range of ages became very helpful. She had respectful tips to offer us as the boys grew and developed. Adult-to-adult, Nakya is engaging, energetic, and talkative. And just as she had helpful advice to give, she was very open to feedback. The only reason we don't still employ Nakya is the covid-19 pandemic; we don't currently need childcare. Thank you for everything, Nakya!

Hello I am Victoria. Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I began babysitting at 16, looking after my younger siblings and families in my community. Known for being patient, loving, and attentive, I’m experienced in overnight care, driving kids to activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I hold a degree in finance and have previously worked at the World Bank. While I’m transitioning into my next career move, I’m focusing on what I love—working with children and providing exceptional care. I come with excellent recommendations and a proven track record of trust and reliability. I am fluent in both French and English. I know I’m too good to be true so here is my BUT… I am allergic and scared to death of pets. It’s very irrational and silly but thats my only downside haha. Please feel free to ask me any information that you need and if you think I'm a good fit for your family I would be more than happy to talk to you.

Booked by 9 families in Arlington, VA

Hello, I'm Sharonda! I recently began a doctoral program studying curriculum and instruction. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching English from Trinity Washington University, and love enriching literacy activities that engage learners in a variety of ways. I've tutored, taught, and volunteered with elementary and secondary aged children, locally and internationally, for the past 9 years. I love providing childcare because I find interacting with children to be joyous and rewarding. Children are adventurous, have a great sense of humor, and bring many opportunities for learning and exploration because of their curiosity. As one who is passionate about education, building healthy connections with children is an essential practice. In my spare time, I love creative writing (short stories, essays, and poetry), reading (especially in libraries, boutique bookstores), crafting (jewelry making, drawing/coloring, and DIY projects), spending time outdoors, and occasionally watching television programs about travel and nature (I'm also a Marvel fan). If there is any additional information you'd like to receive, please don't hesitate to request it.

Sharonda was a wonderful caretaker for my toddler! Incredibly easy to communicate with and she helped my toddler get to bed, even when she’s going through a difficult sleep time. She provided awesome updates of hanging out with my daughter. I look forward to having Sharonda around again!

"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)."
