Hello Parents, My name is Taiara, and it’s a pleasure to introduce myself. I have been working with children since 2013 and truly enjoy supporting families and helping little ones grow. Over the years, I’ve worked with many families throughout the DMV area and have experience caring for children from 6 months to 12 years old. I am CPR certified, fully vaccinated (COVID and flu), and have my own reliable transportation. I’m happy to provide excellent references upon request. For your convenience, I accept cash or Zelle payments. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I would be glad to share more information and answer any questions. Thank you, Taiara

Very attentive and easy to talk to, looking forward to having her back! Very professional and responds in a timely manner when trying to organize times.

Maryam $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Maryam, I'm 19 years old and I'm currently in college for biomedical science. Growing up with my mom owning a daycare for ten years taught me invaluable lessons in creating a nurturing environment for children. Patience, empathy, and providing a safe space were central to my upbringing. I've also had the joy of babysitting my 11 nieces and nephews, each teaching me unique aspects of caregiving. From managing diverse personalities to understanding individual needs, I've cultivated a deep appreciation for fostering growth in a loving environment. My caregiving extends to various ages and needs, including children, seniors, and pets. I prioritize kindness, respect, and personalized care tailored to each person's preferences. In addition to caregiving, I excel in household management and essential services, ensuring both practical needs and emotional support are met in a tidy and comfortable environment. Overall, my journey as a caregiver is characterized by genuine warmth, patience, and a commitment to creating supportive environments. These qualities, coupled with diverse caregiving experiences, empower me to positively impact the lives of those I care for.

"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)."
