Booked by 4 families in Arlington, VA

Hi! My name is Soli, I am a responsible student who thoroughly enjoys engaging with kids. We can do outdoor adventures, like walks, and I love creating fun creative activities, especially those involving art. Organizing and maintaining a tidy environment comes naturally to me,and I love animals! I am more than happy to extend my care to your pets. I am available on weekends and some weekday afternoons to provide flexible support. Moreover, I can confidently handle meal preparation, adding a touch of my cooking skills to ensure a well-rounded care experience for your children. I strive to create a safe, enjoyable, and enriching environment for the kids under my supervision.

She was awesome. Took initiative, and helped support me and watch over my son during a small dinner event. She did everything I would have done and more. Served guests, cleared plates, checked in on me occasionally, cleaned up kitchen and dining, kept kiddo occupied. All with a cheerful disposition. We will continue to use her if she’s available.

Booked by 3 families in Arlington, VA

Hi, I’m Marian. I’m a mother of two children (aged 2 and 9), and I offer childcare and housekeeping services. I love children, and I understand how important it is to find someone caring, kind, and respectful to look after our little ones and loved ones. I can handle tasks such as school drop-offs and pick-ups and teaching your child Spanish. I have experience working with families, so I am familiar with daily routines, outdoor activities, outings (like library visits), and general childcare schedules. I don't mind pets, though I don't have much experience caring for them. My native language is Spanish, and I am actively working on improving my English. I would be very happy to work with you and be of help. You can get references from families I’ve worked for—just for your peace of mind.

Marian is so loving. She immediately came in and made my daughter feel comfortable. She is a fantastic self-starter finding things to do without being asked. She is smart and very helpful. She can be trusted to do things right and make adjustments as needed. We are grateful to work with her and will continue to do so.

Booked by 4 families in Arlington, VA

I have worked in early childhood education since 2015 with experience working with newborns, infants, and toddlers as a teacher, nanny, and healthcare worker. I have also worked one-on-one as a tutor with children ages 7-13. Education includes a B.S. in Psychology and NAEYC-certified infant and toddler Child Development training with CPR and first-aid certification. I've spent the last six years working as a nanny and childcare provider in Boston MA and have recently moved back to Washington, DC. I am currently available to work full-time in the DMV area.

Orie is an absolutely wonderful communicator who went above and beyond to create an exceptional experience for our youngest wedding guests. She’s self-sufficient, kind, thoughtful, flexible, and incredibly reliable. I can’t recommend her more highly.

Booked by 11 families in Arlington, VA

Hi! My name is Brianna, I am 24 years old and I am a professional nanny based in the Alexandria, VA area reaching Arlington, VA and DC. I am a screen-free, play-based nanny as I prioritize interactive and imaginative play as well as age appropriate developmental/instructional time. I strive to create a safe, nurturing and fun environment with kindness, creativity and a passion to learn. About my experience— I have been a professional nanny since August 2023. Over the last three years I have worked with children aged newborn-12 years old. Truly, it is hard to say what I haven’t done in my three years of experience! From creating and maintaining infant routines to potty training toddlers and assisting with elementary school drop off, I have had the opportunity to learn so much in the last three years. I value working closely with parents to ensure the best, proper care for their child(ren). A bit about me personally— I grew up in the Alexandria, VA area with my parents and two brothers. I have always had a love for books, writing and music. I love to bake and I spend endless hours crafting all sorts of things! I am hoping to find a full time position with a flexible start date after August 2026. Reach out with any questions, I’m looking forward to connecting soon!

"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)."
