Hi families! My name is Jasmin, and I am passionate about caring for children and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where they can learn and grow. I have experience working with infants and children and truly enjoy helping them feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I am patient, responsible, nurturing, and always focused on providing the best care possible. I also enjoy helping families by keeping their homes organized.

Profile: Hi my name is Raquel, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. My first language is Spanish and I find great pleasure introducing children language skills like Spanish, with their parents’ consent of course. I am also AA in Early Childhood Education. I’m an experienced nanny that has been working with families and their children for 24 years. I’m easy going, warm and loving, I care for children as they were my own. I have worked mostly with DC residents but also travel to Virginia from time to time. I hold a clean drivers record, CPR certificate and good references from people that I have worked over the years. I believe I am a good Nanny because, I focus on getting to know the child’s temperament and establish a loving and respectful bond that is naturally mutual between the children and me. I provide opportunities for children to grow and learn in a save environment setting. I help children develop their identity and self-confidence. Through-out the day we also visit many local playgrounds, libraries, play groups and community activities. Also, for indoor activities, I engage children with books, art, music, self-caring and biological development as feeding, sleeping and diaper change. I only expose children to TV if it’s part of the parents’ routine otherwise, TV is not a necessity during my time with them. In addition of caring and providing learning opportunities for children, as part of my responsibility, I keep the play area and the kitchen neat, clean the child’s laundry and keep their room clean. I would be happy to continue to converse about my work experience and my character if you requested.

Hi there, my name is Nayelys! I am a current masters student at Georgetown University and I am looking for a family that I can work with in shaping young little minds. I have about 5 years of experience overall working with kids between newborn age and 7 years old. I grew up with cats and have a dog back home so I am more than willing to be around and even care for your furry friends. I can also help with homework time and I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I am originally from Florida, but I will be residing in DC for at least the next two years. I am excited to work alongside you in helping your children grow!

Booked by 9 families in Arlington, VA

Hi! My name is Makida. I’m a recent graduate from ODU living in Arlington VA with a diverse range of caregiving experiences. I've cultivated a strong foundation in childcare. From tending to my baby cousins and younger sister, who bravely manages diabetes, to supporting 2 cousins on the autism spectrum, I've developed invaluable skills in empathy, adaptability, and attentiveness. Additionally, my paid babysitting and nannying roles, including overseeing three children at once, driving child to and from school, and going to local parks. All of which have further refined my ability to provide safe, nurturing, and personalized care to young ones with different needs and backgrounds.

Very prompt and professional.

"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
