Mavis 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been caregiving for the past 10 years, I am passionate about everything I do and my top priority is always my clients safety. I communicate always with the clients family and I am also at all times available and willing to work. I oversee the welfare and social emotional need with the logistics and planning of any activities the client wishes to participate in. I treat my patients like my family.

“Ms. Mavis is one of the best people for whom I have worked with. She was so patient, understanding and just overall showed so much care for my child. When my husband and I decided to move away, it was hard because we thinking of the childcare. I wish I could move with her, lol. If we ever move back, I definitely know who to call. She is an amazing person and the best nanny.”

Booked by 1 family in Fairfax, VA

I have hands-on experience providing care for children, seniors, and pets, as well as helping with household tasks. I’ve worked in caregiving roles where I supported daily routines, provided companionship, and made sure the people in my care felt safe, comfortable, and respected. I also have experience helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized home environment. What makes me a great caregiver is my patience, kindness, and strong sense of responsibility. I genuinely care about people’s well-being and always try to create a calm, positive, and supportive environment. I am very attentive to detail, reliable, and able to stay calm in stressful situations. I also enjoy building trust and strong relationships with the people I care for, whether they are children, seniors, or pets. I’m naturally nurturing, compassionate, and hardworking. I take pride in being dependable and going above and beyond to make sure others feel supported and cared for.

Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Melissa. I’m a caring, positive, responsible, and highly reliable person with over 20 years of babysitting experience and 10 years as a teacher and tutor. I’ve been working for pre-K for FCPS for the past 2 years and have two kids of my own, so I truly understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment. Over the years, I’ve worked with toddlers through middle schoolers, providing everything from tutoring and homework help to school pickups, doctor’s appointments, household support, and errands. I’m a safe and dependable driver, and I always prioritize the well-being and individual needs of each child. As a nanny, I bring strong communication, patience, and flexibility to ensure children feel supported and parents feel confident. My goal is to help every child thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

"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)."
