$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Arlington, VA

Hi! My name is Nicol, and I truly enjoy caring for kids and supporting families. I'm patient, responsible, creative, and friendly. I communicate with parents through daily reports, texts, or phone calls, always respecting their preferred method. I have my First Aid and CPR certification and more than 4 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and older children. I love playing all kinds of games with kids! Arts and crafts are definitely a favorite--I love making things together! I also enjoy puzzles, video games, and educational games. I've even played games to help teach Spanish to kids I've cared for too! And of course, I enjoy outdoor activities, like hiking, volleyball, or just playing outside. I'm open to anything that keeps the kids happy and learning while having fun (and of course with the parents authorization) . My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and fun environment where children feel supported and cared for.

Nico is a great babysitter. We have used her multiple multiple times over the years. She started with us when we just had one, and now she watches both our boys. She’s very warm, and the babies like having her as their sitter. She’s easy to work with and communicative. She was our friend’s au pair, as well, until her kids were both in school. She’s trustworthy and you should give her a chance! She’s the best!

Viviana 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a 49-year-old bilingual Spanish-English mother and a legal permanent resident. I hold university degrees from both the United States and abroad, and I bring a fun, calm, and responsible approach to working with children. I have raised three children, now aged 15, 27, and 29. I began babysitting well before becoming a parent, when I cared for my cousin’s baby from six months old for nearly a year while my cousin was undergoing intensive medical treatment. For the past two years, I have cared for toddlers and children through word of mouth, and I am now registering with this platform. I enjoy reading to children, discovering music together, and spending time at the park. I take cues from children and adapt to their interests and play. I am calm and resourceful in emergencies or unexpected situations and use good judgment. In addition to childcare, I also offer: - Driving children and seniors to and from appointments, activities, and errands - Meal preparation - Pet sitting for dogs and cats

Viviana has cared for our toddler daughter since she was a baby, and we couldn’t be happier. She is loving, fun, and responsible, with excellent judgment. Our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her, and we always feel confident knowing she is in Viviana’s care.

Ciana $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ciana I'm a 25 years old and I've been working with kids on and off since I was about 10. My most recent professional experience was working at the YMCA for over a year. I wore numerous of 'hats' such as playground partner (glorified PE teacher), basketball coach, Transitional Kindergarten TA /support staff, and camp counselor. As for 'unprofessional' experience I occasionally watch my little cousins 6 years old and 14 months, feeding, entertaining and teaching them new and old things. I've been trusted to take care of my sister's two cats and my dads dog when they're out of town. I take caring for kids seriously as presence, community and communication are essentially in a child's development. My conviction is children are our reflections any child I'm around keeps me honest and the situation given to them honest. The opportunity to be a part of a child's development is something I don't take lightly, because who they are and who they're becoming isn't accidental. The greatest things I've gotten from working with children is the demand to be myself, love carelessly and eliminate my life long fear of spiders. Working with kids, has given me direct feedback on how to create and sustain safe spaces for children. I love being physically active doing things like going on walks, checking out museums, local parks, amusement parks, road trips, working out and I'm currently looking to take on new recreational sports/ hobbies like soccer, bowling, coding, and public speaking. I love a wide range of music, film and photography. If you consider me as someone to take care of your child, thank you. :)

"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)."
