Kendall $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kendall! I’m a 21-year-old living in DC and currently working as a busser. I’m looking for part-time work doing something I enjoy, and I’d love the opportunity to help care for your child. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and drawing, and I love sharing those interests with children by creating fun, engaging, and imaginative activities. I grew up with pets and have even volunteered at animal shelters to stay connected with animals since I don’t currently have any of my own. I’m comfortable with cats, dogs of any size, rabbits, hamsters, birds, reptiles, you name it! If you’re looking for reliable and consistent care, I’d love to connect!

Mayara $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Mayara (or Maya), I'm 28 years old and from Brazil. I was an Au Pair in Pennsylvania in 2016 and it was a lovely experience. Then I moved to Los Angeles about seven years ago and kept working as a professional nanny for several families until I decided to start over in beautiful Washington DC. Unfortunately the family that hired me in DC could no longer afford a nanny and I'll be leaving this month. I have experience with all different ages, especially newborns. I'm looking for a full-time position starting ASAP. I speak English and Portuguese fluently and I always try to teach the kids how to speak some Portuguese, which I can do with your children as well. I am First Aid certified, non-smoker and I have a car and a clean driving record, I drove the kids everyday for all my previous families. I'd be happy to answer all of your questions as well as chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search!

Sonya $23 per hour for 1 child

20 plus years experience working in the childcare industry. My passion is partnering with parents to help develop the next generation. I believe childhood should be about experiences that are not only fun but also developmental. I love crafts, being creative, reading and learning about different cultures. I have worked in preschools, learning centers, as a nanny, household manager, and even general manager of an indoor children's playground before COVID. I worked as a full time nanny during COVID. My post COVID experience has been as a Behavior Technician working with children between the ages of 2 - 11, and as a head start preschool teacher. I am dual CDA certified (infant/toddler & Preschool) and hold CPR/First Aid/AED certification.

"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)."
