Ryan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ryan (Manny) and new to this app. I am a reliable, attentive, compassionate, and versatile care provider offering dedicated support for your entire household. Whether you need attentive childcare, gentle senior assistance, loving pet care, or help keeping your home organized and running smoothly, I am here to help. My goal is to bring peace of mind to your family by delivering trustworthy, high-quality service tailored to your daily needs. I’ve been babysitting newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids for many years. My responsibilities have ranged from driving to and from school to cooking, taking outdoor pets on walks, tutoring, and even teaching swim lessons (I used to be an instructor). I am a former swim instructor, so child safety is always my absolute top priority. I am well equipped with diaper changing, bottle feedings, meals, bath & bedtime, and lots of playtime! Please advise if there’s a specific routine you’d like me to continue. I have also worked as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I am comfortable driving to/from appointments, and/or do other tasks. I have several years of experience in pet care. I specialize in dogs of various breeds and provide exceptional care for puppies and kittens. I'm trained in pet first aid and possess strong training skills to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for senior pets and all furry friends. Additionally, I’m also well-versed with fish, reptiles, and birds. I look forward to working with you and your family! Respectfully, Ryan

Brittany $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Herndon, VA

I have worked with children since I was 17 years old! I have worked for a daycare as a lead for the infant room, twos room, threes room, fours and school age as well as assisted in all classrooms. I also was an assistant director for some time at the center as well! I also have obtained my CDA through the school I was working for as well. I love teaching children and now that I am a busy mom with 3 children of my own (5, 8 and 14) I thought it would be a good time to branch out and try being a nanny for a family. I love pets of any shape or size and I know how hard it can be to come home from a long day at work, so I don't mind doing light housekeeping chores!

Sophia $24 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, nurturing caregiver with experience supporting children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and children on the autism spectrum. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and pride myself on creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where children can grow, learn, and have fun. I bring a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving, while also keeping kids engaged through age-appropriate activities, outdoor play, reading, crafts, and learning-focused routines. I strongly value communication and teamwork with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page regarding expectations, schedules, and developmental goals. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, homework help, and daily routines. I’m also experienced with pets and household support, making me a well-rounded and reliable help for busy families. Above all, I genuinely love caring for others and take pride in being someone families can trust, rely on, and feel confident leaving their loved ones with.

"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)."
