Alejandra $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Alejandra and I am currently available to take care of children from infant to high school age. I was an au pair for two years, caring for three children. I am experienced in all aspects of normal daily routines like getting kids ready for school, preparing meals to include packing school lunches and snacks, doing laundry, bath time, light housekeeping, and running errands. As a special education teacher with experience with children of differing abilities, I am skilled in developing appropriate goals and facilitating play-based learning to help meet developmental milestones.

BERNICE 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am married since 32 years with 2 beautiful children and 2 sweet rescue dogs. My husband was in the Army for 30 years where I maintained myself as a piano teacher moving every 1 - 3 years. I truly love kids and dogs very much . I babysit multiple kids and special needs kids since 8 years on care.com with fun and compassion by mixing reading, music, outdoor activities, German games, German songs, crafts and any activities the child likes and the parents approve. Babies giggle about my funny expressions and sounds. I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for date nights. Thank you !

Bernice is an absolute delight! My 3 and 7 year old boys loved her and felt comfortable right away (which is not always the case). She is on time, responds fast to my texts, and my kids always seem to enjoy their time with her. She goes out of her way to play with my boys and keep them entertained. It feels nice to be able to relax and not worry about them, knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help! I’ll be reaching back out again soon.

Hi Parents! My name is Victoria. I am born and raised in New York. Now, I live in Burke, Virginia. I am willing to love, teach and care for your children. I enjoy to let children be creative and use me as a tool for their own imagination. I enjoy children having fun while adventurous. Safety is my number one priority when caring for children. I have years of experience making/preparing delicious meals, running household errands, taking kids out on adventures, light housekeeping, diaper changing, scheduling bottle-feeding/small-solid foods, bathing, nap-time, potty training, etc. Before COVID-19, I worked at Ballet Hispánico located in Manhattan, NY teaching young children how to dance, to children ages 3-17 years old. I have 3 years of full-time and part-time experience being a nanny and babysitter. * 3-4-year-old twins * 6-22-month-old babies There is much more to say about me; if interested, please feel free to reach out so that you can get to know me even more. fully vaccinated, including a booster shot.

After another sitter cancelled for a family emergency, Victoria came through for us in a big way with only about 36 hours of notice and saved our date night! She was kind with our toddler, despite his separation anxiety. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.

"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)."
