Hi! My name is Lina, and I’ve been working on UrbanSitter for a few years now. I am an auntie of eight incredible nieces and nephews whom I have helped take care of from birth into their childhood. I’m conversant in Amharic, French, and I am somewhat conversant in Arabic and Spanish. I am energetic, creative, and read wonderful bedtime stories! I can help with all kinds of homework, and can engage in various activities. If there are any particular subjects/activities or developmental milestones you would like me to help with, please let me know! I pay attention to detail & can maintain an organized space during and after activites. I take constructive criticism very seriously and try my best to implement changes immediately. I love working with children, from birth to big kids! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions! At this time I am only available on an occasional basis. Thank you! -Lina

Booked by 1 family in Fairfax Station, VA

Hi, my name is Krista and I am a college student home for the summer looking for babysitting/nanny jobs! With four years of hands-on experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for kids of all ages, including those with special needs. I am CPR, AED, and First Aid certified and I’m open to watching kids of all ages and abilities. I also have years of experience with animals from dogs to bearded dragons to horses. I can complete house hold chores or provide homework help if need be! I also have a large, safe car and I am willing to drive around your little ones (will need to be provided with booster seats if applicable). If you need a reliable and responsible babysitter or pet sitter, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Krista was wonderful with our 6 year old daughter. She was consistently punctual and responsive. We would happily hire her again!

Iasmin 1 review
$13 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Iasmin, and I’m a caring, responsible, and outgoing person who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience taking care of kids of different ages and always try to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m patient, organized, and comfortable helping with daily routines such as meals, playtime, bedtime, homework, and transportation when needed. I also enjoy activities like arts and crafts, outdoor walks, games, and anything that keeps children engaged and happy. Besides childcare, I’m also happy to help with light household tasks and keeping things organized. I’m adaptable, reliable, and love building a good connection with families. Originally from Brazil, living abroad has helped me become even more independent, communicative, and open-minded. I’m always excited to learn new things, meet new people, and create meaningful experiences with the families I work with.

Iasmin took care of our 2-year-old daughter for the past year and she was wonderful with her. She’s caring, reliable, and our daughter absolutely loves her. We always felt comfortable knowing our daughter was in great hands and would definitely recommend her to any family

Hajar $25 per hour for 1 child

Supporting families by providing reliable and loving childcare brings me genuine joy. With 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to teenagers — I’ve developed strong skills in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I feel comfortable caring for one child but have no problem managing multiple children at once. I’m friendly, approachable, and maintain clear communication with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page. I enjoy playing board games and puzzles with children and love helping them learn through play. I have completed my high school education and take pride in offering care that is both responsible and fun. I’m certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED for both adults and children, ensuring that every child under my care is safe and well looked after. I am also responsible, patient, and flexible. Additionally, I have my own car, which allows me to arrive on time and provide reliable transportation whenever 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)."
