Ashton $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Ashton! I’m a career nanny/family assistant who believes every day with kids should have a mix of structure, laughter, and a little bit of adventure. With over ten years of experience, I’ve worked with families through just about every stage — from baby snuggles and nap schedules to homework help and after-school chaos — and I genuinely love it all. Over the years, I’ve worked with families long-term, managing everything from daily routines and after-school schedules to travel, household coordination, and family logistics. Whether it’s planning enriching activities, helping with school projects, or keeping things organized behind the scenes, I bring a thoughtful, steady presence to every home I’m part of. I’m originally from Alabama but now call the D.C. area home. When I’m not with my nanny families, I’m usually traveling (I’ve checked all 50 states off my list!), at a concert, or hanging out with my fiancé and our Goldendoodle, Rui.

Charlotte $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dunn Loring, VA

Hi, my name is Charlotte, and I am looking for families who need date-night sitters or someone to call when needed! I am a college sophomore from Richmond, VA. I have been babysitting for 8 years and have experience with kids ages 1-15. I am comfortable looking after multiple children at once. I don't have a car, but I am happy to take public transportation. I do have a valid driver's license and am comfortable driving a provided car. I also have my RedCross First Aid/CPR/AED certification. With my families in Richmond, I always ensure that the kids are entertained, happy, and safe. I love making art and crafts, I will happily play any game or sport with the kids I sit with, I love going on walks and spending time outside, and dance parties are a must too! I'm very flexible and easy! Please feel free to reach out!

Janice $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a dependable and experienced caregiver with 9 years of hands on childcare experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a variety of roles from babysitting and tutoring, to leading groups of kids at summer camp and afterschool programs. I’ve cared for children who are up to 16 years old (mostly school aged children aged 5-12), and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, making dinner, cleaning up, putting them to bed, heading out to the park, or even binge watching their favorite movies on repeat (you would not believe how many times I’ve seen The Minions movies lol), I’m there with patience, energy, and a smile. I’ve also worked as an in home tutor for five years, specializing in Chinese, English, and math, which means I’m well versed in keeping kids focused and engaged academically, too. In addition to childcare, I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with five pit bulls in my home and have always been comfortable around pets of all kinds. I’ve petsat for friends and family, sometimes for up to two months at a time; making sure their pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while they were away. Families know me as approachable, responsible, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of the kids and pets I care for. I bring heart, structure, and flexibility to every home I step into, and I’m always ready to help however I can.

Kristen $19 per hour for 1 child

I received my bachelors from VCU in the Fine Arts. I then pursued a career path in child care and received a working visa in Australia and New Zealand and worked as an AuPair and various customer service roles in both countries. After returning back to the USA I worked in health foods/supplements for a few years and traveled around the US to see my own country. I greatly appreciate helping people live healthy lives and meeting their needs where and when I can. I've been helping neighbors a lot this year in my area with cat sitting, house sitting, child care and senior care so I'm interested in getting to know more neighbors in my community and lend a helping hand.

"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)."
