Wendy 3 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Falls Church, VA

A little bit about me… Families often tell me I bring a calm, and engaging presence—especially with babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I love nurturing curiosity through play, encouraging independence, and creating predictable routines that help children feel safe, confident, and deeply cared for. I have several years of experience with infants as well as elementary aged children. Over the past year, I've had the privilege of serving as a full-time live-out nanny for a wonderful family with two energetic, curious children (currently ages 3 and 5). With my experience homeschooling and parenting my own high energy children, this role strengthened my abilities even more. My responsibilities include daily transportation in the family's vehicle to and from school, camps, appointments, play dates, and extracurricular activities, while maintaining a safe, organized, and dependable routine. I am neurodiversity-affirming and have additional training supporting children with learning differences, including dyslexia, and dysgraphia. My focus is always connection-based care. I would love to learn how I can support you and your families needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and background checked with clean driving record.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Wendy. Any family who has the opportunity to hire her will be incredibly fortunate. Wendy brings an infectious energy and enthusiasm to everything she does. She is creative, patient, and has a remarkable ability to connect with children, even in the most challenging situations. Whether she's helping a child navigate potty training, working through meltdowns, or supporting them during moments of sensory overload, she approaches every challenge with calm, empathy, and skill. She teaches children effective ways to cope with big emotions, communicate their needs, and build confidence. Her knowledge of child development is exceptional, and it's clear that her years of experience have given her both incredible wisdom and intuition. She creates a safe, nurturing environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to grow. At the same time, she establishes clear expectations and helps children develop respect, kindness, and independence. Wendy is also an excellent communicator. She is reliable, professional, and always open to feedback and collaboration. We always felt comfortable discussing ideas or concerns, knowing she would listen thoughtfully and work with us as a true partner in caring for our children. Most importantly, our children absolutely adored her. They looked forward to every day they spent with Wendy, and we loved knowing they were not only having fun but also learning, growing, and thriving under her care. We are incredibly grateful for the time our family had with Wendy. She has made a lasting impact on our children, and we recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an exceptional nanny.

Booked by 22 families in Falls Church, VA

Hi - My name is Denisha and I am a recently graduated student at GW currently studying for the bar. SitterCitty and UrbanSitter have sent me all over the DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. I have a lot of experience babysitting children and have been doing it since I was in middle school. I enjoy spending time together with kids and I often plan fun activities like a movie or a game to keep them occupied. I am a non-smoker and am both vaccinated and boosted. I have also been through both CPR and first aid training. I usually like to keep in contact with the parents while babysitting and send a quick text here and there to let you know they just had their dinner or I just tucked them into bed. If you have any questions about me or for me feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration!

Booked by 5 families in Falls Church, VA

Hello, I am Donja. I was born and raised in Washington DC. I just finished my 3rd year being a math teacher. I am now a doctoral student taking a break from teaching to nanny in my free time while in school. My interest in kids began after my siblings were born. I am the oldest of four. My passion for babysitting started when I became my family’s go to baby sitter and now after sitting for 5+ years, and 3 years teaching I have enhanced my skills of babysitting for other families. I enjoy taking walks in DC, visiting the museums, and pretty much doing anything adventurous. I also enjoy helping people, and volunteering in the community. I look forward to working with you all!

Donja was very quick to respond, arrived early, and my 5yr old daughter loved her so much she didn’t want her to leave:) She was very kind, sweet natured and attentive. Definitely a keeper. Will have her again without a doubt!

Booked by 27 families in Falls Church, VA

Hello I am Victoria. Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I began babysitting at 16, looking after my younger siblings and families in my community. Known for being patient, loving, and attentive, I’m experienced in overnight care, driving kids to activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I hold a degree in finance and have previously worked at the World Bank. While I’m transitioning into my next career move, I’m focusing on what I love—working with children and providing exceptional care. I come with excellent recommendations and a proven track record of trust and reliability. I am fluent in both French and English. I know I’m too good to be true so here is my BUT… I am allergic and scared to death of pets. It’s very irrational and silly but thats my only downside haha. Please feel free to ask me any information that you need and if you think I'm a good fit for your family I would be more than happy to talk to you.

Khady

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 10 families in Falls Church, VA

Hi Families! I’m Khady, I’m a third year student at Howard University. I currently reside in Noma. I’m originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, and I’ve been babysitting for about eight years. I got my Red Cross babysitting and CPR/First Aid certification at 12, and since then, I’ve been working with newborns up to teenagers. I’m experienced with all ages, but I especially love working with toddlers from 3 months to 5 to 6 years old. I also have a lot of experience with special needs, especially ASD and ADHD. I’ve worked with many families, providing date nights and backup care, and I’ve had several consistent nanny families over the years. I’m also a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and spent a year and a half at UNC Rex Hospital NICU, where I gained my experience with newborns. This included maintaining feeding schedules, swaddling, and creating a calm and safe environment. For two summers, I also worked as a camp counselor at the YMCA, working with kids from preschool through grade school, and I absolutely loved it. I enjoyed spending time outdoors, going to the pool, taking trips to the park, and keeping the children occupied with fun activities without screen time. I truly enjoy what I do and love making my clients and kids happy every day. I always go the extra mile and truly enjoy building strong relationships with my families and the kids I work with. I really strive for consistency, and many of the kids I sit hate to see me leave and want to hang out forever—it just feels like a playdate. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Khady

Khady was amazing today! She arrived right on time and communicated with me ahead of the visit and throughout the day, which really gave me peace of mind while my baby wasn’t feeling well. She kept me updated consistently and handled everything with such care. Khady is kind, respectful, and very responsible—I felt completely comfortable leaving my little one in her hands. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking her again.

"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)."
