Booked by 6 families in Arlington, VA

Hi everybody! My name is Klaudia and besides being a part-time babysitter I'm open to families which are considering to have a live-in or live-out nanny. I have wide experience with kids in different ages. As a certified Red Cross first-aid trainer I was able to teach kids about the health, first-air and CPR. I am very patient and I love to see the progress that kids can make. Besides my long experience with kids, including kids with disabilities, as an ordinary nanny for total of 6 years, I was a live-in nanny for almost two years. This experience consisted from taking care of three kids (ages 5, 9 and 12), driving them to activities, making a food for them, helping them with homework and of course having fun! What I liked about this experience was the opportunity to maintain great relationship with these kids and the ability to be there for them anytime they needed me. Additionally, I do have experience with toddlers and infants, bedtime and morning routines, feeding and playing with babies or taking them for stroller walks. I'm also enjoying tutoring English and Math. Please don't hesitate to send me a message.

Hello😊✋🏼. My name is Keila🌸. I graduated from college as a business engineer, but I also love working with kids and other gigs, I’ll tell you more: BABYSITTER: Former nanny and care giver. Experience with different ages and special needs kiddos. I have been taking care of kids since I was 16 years old (coming from a biggggg family), I have my CPR certificate. I love spending time with kids and I am also very patient, organized, easy going and fun. I love dancing, singing and arts and crafts. I also love sports. My favorite thing to do is exercise and being outdoors. CLOSET ORGANIZER: Organizing, cleaning and decluttering is my passion, I would love to help you have your closet organized , finally donate all the stuff you no longer use/need and take that weight off your back. PETWALKER: I have always loved pets, so if you need someone to ocasionally baby sit/ walk your pets (the owners of the house honestly lol) I am more than happy to help. I am looking for occasional or weeknights/weekends jobs, since I am currently working full time. Thanks. Looking forward to meet you :) Best regards, K. 🌸✨

Keila was sweet and engaging with my 4 year old. I would hire her again

Andrea Joy 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Andrea and I have experience working with children from newborn on up, in a variety of settings. I've worked as a babysitter over the years, as an after school teacher for 2nd-3rd graders, been a middle school cheer coach, and I've also worked as a sitter working at large events caring for children from newborn-middle school age. I am warm, compassionate, selfless and have a very big heart- especially for children. I enjoy a variety of activities with children and always do my best to omit or limit screen time so we can interact and engage instead.

Andrea has been taking care of our kids for years, and has become like another member of our family. The kids love playing with her. She is so sweet and kind with our children, and appropriately firm when necessary. And when she cooks for the kids, coming home to a tidied kitchen is a bonus. Can't recommend her enough.

Booked by 1 family in Arlington, VA

Hello Families, I have been in the Us for Three years; I have experience with kiddos from 8 months until nine years old. I love to do activities outdoor like parks, going biking, or skating. Also, I love to play indoors and do some activities like science projects or safe baking. I'm easy going person; my lifestyle is into a vegan diet. I also like to share some recipes with the kids. In terms of communication, I am always aware of rules, and I will let you know the activities that I’m planning to do with the kiddos; I will ask for your permission before do something with them. (Going out or possible playdates) I love animals, and I don't mind having pets in your home.

Lucy did a great Job with our almost 4 years old son, they were giggling a lot and developed a good rapport quickly. Happy to have her back!

"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)."
