Isabel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Isabel and I have recently graduated from high school. I’m planning on going to JMU in the fall. I’ve had experience with watching kids and animals since I was in 7th grade: I grew up babysitting by taking care of the younger members of my family, even if I was still a baby then, too! I love babysitting and I’d be more than willing to help out with groceries, chores, drive around the kids, or even help with cooking if needed. I am CPR certified, Stop The Bleed certified, and I recently became a CCMA (certified medical assistant) certified. I’d make sure that your children have a fun (yet safe!) time with me. Thank you for your consideration!

Anqa $20 per hour for 1 child

As a 20-something babysitter, I have a lot of experience caring for children of all ages - from babies and toddlers to preteens and teens. With 4 years of childcare under my belt, I pride myself on being responsible, patient, funny, active, caring, positive, creative, and empathetic. I'm multilingual, fluent in English, Hindi or Urdu, and Farsi, and I love engaging kids through drawing, reading, language activities, crafting, music, and games. I'm also comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. Although I don't have first aid certification, I'm a university student who is dedicated to providing a safe, enriching experience for the families I work with. I'm excited to connect and learn more about your family's needs!

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!”

"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)."
