Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Melissa. I’m a caring, positive, responsible, and highly reliable person with over 20 years of babysitting experience and 10 years as a teacher and tutor. I’ve been working for pre-K for FCPS for the past 2 years and have two kids of my own, so I truly understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment. Over the years, I’ve worked with toddlers through middle schoolers, providing everything from tutoring and homework help to school pickups, doctor’s appointments, household support, and errands. I’m a safe and dependable driver, and I always prioritize the well-being and individual needs of each child. As a nanny, I bring strong communication, patience, and flexibility to ensure children feel supported and parents feel confident. My goal is to help every child thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

Virginia $23 per hour for 1 child

I began working with children at my local daycare in the middle of my 10th-grade year until the end of my high school education. Beginning first as a volunteer, I collaborated with teachers on creating creative assignments, serving children their breakfast, changing diapers and clothes, and observing when we took field trips to bowl and trips to the pool. Additionally, before I transitioned to college, I gained experience with a 3-year-old personally. In my time with her, I was able to continue to strengthen my communication skills, find ways to keep her entertained with and without television such as drawing and dancing, and serve her snacks prepared by her mother. Now, I am a proud Aunt of 5 children( 2 boys and 3 girls ages 3mo-9 yrs old) and am trusted to watch them alone. I am experienced with tasks such as feeding, changing, nap time, play time outside, etc. Overall, I have enjoyed being a babysitter. I am always sure to document the day and events of the child/children I care for. Creating a safe, educational, and fun environment is my top priority!

have been working in childcare since 2022 and have gained valuable experience caring for children as young as three months up to three years old. In addition, I teach Sunday school for children ages four and up, which has strengthened my skills in guiding older children, leading group activities, and teaching with patience and creativity. I create a nurturing and safe environment where children feel loved and supported, while also encouraging their growth and independence. I am caring, observant, and reliable, and I enjoy bringing creativity and play into daily routines to make learning fun and engaging.

"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)."
