Booked by 4 families in Fairfax, VA

Hi everyone, I’m a certified nurse aid with lots of experience with caregiving for children and the elderly. Prior to being a nurse aid, I was a preschool teacher with FCPS. I’m child and adult CPR certified as well. I’m a mother of four and have three grandchildren. All of my children have finished college and the youngest just became a doctor! I can do weekdays, weekends, holidays, and part and full time positions, if I am not already booked! I look forward connecting with you.

“Ms. Farkhonda was absolutely delightful! She was thoughtful, professional and prompt. My son had a wonderful time talking, playing games and spending time with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter!”

Lauren $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fairfax, VA

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I’ve been working with children since 2017 through a variety of roles, including babysitting, preschool teaching, childcare administration, and behavioral therapy. Working with children has always been something I genuinely love, and it’s a big reason I majored in Psychology and Human Development and Family Sciences. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of different ages and personalities, and I really enjoy getting to know each child, helping them feel safe, and creating a fun, caring environment. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and also have my MAT certification. I’m dependable, patient, and warm, but I also love being playful and creative with kids. I'm open to part-time, and possibly full-time for the right fit. I’d love to connect with a family looking for someone reliable, experienced, and caring!

"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."

"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)."
