Gary 2 reviews
$18 per hour for 1 child

First, I have an M.Ed. from the University of Virginia, with a focus on children with disabilities. References, police, and a clear CPS background report are available. I am a fun-loving, easy-going, and active caretaker specifically trained to work with special needs, including ASD, Tourette, ADHD, and similar disabilities. ABA trained, and the father of a child with comparable disabilities who is now a successful adult. Most kids love me and are willing to dive in and have fun. My daughter is a lawyer and teaches ethics, and I am especially adept at taking kids out to the mall, local airport, commuter train to the D.C. museums, or Richmond. I have a commercial CDL with a student endorsement, and we go anywhere we can practice calming and behavior, and have fun in various environments. Swimming pools and lakes are incredibly attractive to kids with ASD and extremely dangerous since most can't swim. I specialize in providing survival swimming at the local YMCA. ( I have a membership, and the crew at Massad Stafford YMCA knows me. I have been active as a Big Brother mentor for almost 14 years, giving back to my community. I love electronics, gadgets, elephants, the Mars Rover, the landscape of Venus, and everything about the James Webb Telescope. Many kids love this stuff, too. Some kids can make their bed with help, and afterward, we can grill a cheese sandwich, read a picture book, or watch a video... but not all day! I have cared for a 7-year-old with comorbidities for almost four years and helped potty-train him. BTW, I currently teach middle school reading, am rarely grouchy, and, as a Gemini, remain in touch with my inner child forever. I have extensive experience helping kids with autism and related needs; I might be able to give you a break from the routine without breaking your budget.

Gary is a wonderful caretaker of our children, including one who has ASD and special needs! We have worked with him for over three years and trust Gary with both our boys, aged 7 and 5. Gary is professional, knowledgeable, very understanding, and kind. We enjoy working with Gary, and he is excellent taking our special needs child to his swimming pool, or out for adventures in FXBG, D.C., Richmond. He has an excellent rating on CheckR, BTW.

Hi, my name is Jade! I’m a proud Texan with a vibrant, cheerful, and energetic personality! I love spending time outdoors, traveling, and caring for animals. I also enjoy arts and crafts, singing, and dancing. Every week, I make time for church activities and fellowship, volunteering on weekends to give back wherever I can. I have experience caring for children of all ages through my church, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, loving, and supportive environment for them. Helping others and making a positive impact is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing that same energy wherever I go! Thank you!

Jade is amazing! She’s very reliable and flexible with her schedule which is extremely appreciated as I need a sitter on a case by case basis. I’ve worked with her before and she’s been around for 8 months now to help with my baby girl and puppy for when life just happens. A great help and i’d definitely recommend!

Mila 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mila. I'm a proud mom of two kids— my oldest just graduated, and my youngest is in college. I’ve spent most of my life taking care of kids. First my own, and also my nieces and nephews. Now that my kids are growing up I’m excited to help other families and get back to doing something I truly enjoy, taking care of little ones. I know how busy life gets as a parent, so I’m happy to help however I can. From childcare to housekeeping, errands, school drop-offs and pickups, and cooking. I love being in the kitchen and making healthy, home-cooked meals! I speak both Spanish and English. I currently work in food and retail, but I’m looking to make a move into full-time babysitting work. I’m reliable, caring, and bring years of real-life experience. Thank you!

I’ve worked part time with Mila and she has an amazing work ethic!! She’s always early, thinks ahead, and is adaptable in shift. You can see how much she cares about kids when we help a nearby daycamp. She talks to kids with so much care and respect (which is why we always send her out as our speaker lol). She’d be an awesome babysitter!

"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)."
