Neyva $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Neyva and I am 29 years old. I have been working with children since I was 16, which has given me extensive experience in childcare. I have had the pleasure of caring for children of various ages, from newborns to 11 years old. For the past two years, I had the privilege of caring for twins from their first month until they turned two, helping them with tummy time, walking, meal preparation, and potty training. Additionally, I am certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both adults and children, which ensures I am always prepared for any emergency and can guarantee the safety of the little ones. My approach as a nanny is to create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, adapting to the unique needs of each child. I consider myself responsible, patient and honest. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both the children and their families, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and satisfied with the care I provide. I am available to care for children in DMV area and I would be happy to discuss how I can support your family further.

Amanda $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Amanda, 27 years old, from Brazil and currently living in the U. S. I have over eight years of experience working with children and truly love what I do. In my home country, I worked as a teacher, which gave me strong skills in education and child development. Over the past two years, I've been caring for little ones here in the U. S., supporting families and growing even more passionate about childcare. I'm comfortable with all ages, from newborns to teens, and have experience caring for up to four kids at once. I love planning fun activities, encouraging learning through play, and making each day special. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I value open, respectful communication with parents to create a safe and positive environment. I'd love to hear more about your family and how I can help. Feel free to reach out!

Jennifer 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Arlington, VA

Hi there! I’m a warm, reliable caregiver with years of experience supporting children, seniors, and pets. I’ve worked as a daycare assistant, after-school instructor, and family sitter, always bringing patience, creativity, and structure to every day. I’m trained in early childhood development, homework help, and safe play. I also grew up with four Labradors and helped my brother with dog breeding, so I’m confident around pets too. Whether it’s preparing meals, engaging little ones in learning, or simply providing a calm, kind presence, I’m here to support your household with care you can trust.

Jennifer was punctual and professional! Our baby was asleep so we did not need her to do any child care, but she was great with our dog.

"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)."
