Good Evening everyone my name is Aliya and I am currently a senior at George Mason. I am providing childcare, pet care, as well as household services. I am great with kids, I have previous experience helping my mom when I was in elementary school with her daycare. CURRENTLY, I am happy to say that I am aunt of 11 beautiful nieces and nephews so they keep me busy. My responsibilities with kids include driving to and from school, tutoring, and helping with any of their extra activities to the best of my ability. I can also cook and clean. A few years back my grandmother did live with me so I am familiar and comfortable with senior care.

Aliya was great! Punctual, professional, patient and great with our 2-month old!

$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jade! I’m a proud Texan with a vibrant, cheerful, and energetic personality! I love spending time outdoors, traveling, and caring for animals. I also enjoy arts and crafts, singing, and dancing. Every week, I make time for church activities and fellowship, volunteering on weekends to give back wherever I can. I have experience caring for children of all ages through my church, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, loving, and supportive environment for them. Helping others and making a positive impact is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing that same energy wherever I go! Thank you!

Jade is amazing! She’s very reliable and flexible with her schedule which is extremely appreciated as I need a sitter on a case by case basis. I’ve worked with her before and she’s been around for 8 months now to help with my baby girl and puppy for when life just happens. A great help and i’d definitely recommend!

"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)."
