Yanelly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Yanelly, and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages in both professional and personal settings. I previously worked at Gold’s Gym Riverdale Park, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging with children in the kids’ club area. I also served as a lifeguard at a children’s splash park, ensuring safety while creating a fun and positive environment. Outside of work, I’ve provided nanny and babysitting care for family, friends, and families in my church community, supporting parents with dependable, nurturing, and attentive childcare. I love helping kids learn, play, and explore safely. As well as teaching them in both English and Spanish! I’m responsible, patient, and energetic and I truly enjoy building trust with both children and parents.

Anastasia $21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Arlington, VA

I am the eldest of three siblings. I have always helped babysit my siblings as they were growing up. I also have recent babysitting experience, the last time being less than a year ago. I am a patient listener, love taking babies on walks and reading to them, and can help older kids with homework and workbooks. I'm also good at thinking of fun activities to do. In addition, I know some basic spanish if your kids are bilingual or take bilingual courses. So I am able to help with homework in that subject as well.

Zoe $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Zoe. I recently graduated from Temple University and have over 10 years of experience babysitting and caring for children of all ages. Growing up in a big family with younger siblings and cousins, caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life. I currently work with youth as a dance instructor and financial literacy educator, where I help children build confidence, learn new skills, and have fun in a supportive environment. Families describe me as patient, reliable, and easy to communicate with, and I love creating a safe, engaging, and positive experience for every child I care for. I’m also happy to help with homework, meal prep, light housekeeping, and pet care when needed! 😊

"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)."
