Hi, I’m Maia! I’m a childcare professional serving the DC and Northern Virginia areas. My childcare style combines fun, connection, and structure. I enjoy building relationships with children, planning engaging, age-appropriate activities, and maintaining consistent routines for meals, naps, and play. A little about me: * Childcare experience with children ages 6 months and up, with personal experience caring for 0 + * CPR & First Aid certified * Loves reading and outdoor play * Great cook and pet-friendly * Up to date on vaccinations I value open communication with parents and enjoy helping families maintain routines!

“Maia is amazing! She spent three days watching my 8 year old daughter, while we were visiting Washington DC. Maia arrived at the hotel on time every morning, handled breakfast and lunch, took her on field trips to explore the Smithsonian’s and zoo, had her back to the hotel by the agreed-upon time, helped with homework, and maintained a positive attitude throughout. I highly recommend Maia and we will see if she is available, when next in DC!”

Mila 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mila. I'm a proud mom of two kids— my oldest just graduated, and my youngest is in college. I’ve spent most of my life taking care of kids. First my own, and also my nieces and nephews. Now that my kids are growing up I’m excited to help other families and get back to doing something I truly enjoy, taking care of little ones. I know how busy life gets as a parent, so I’m happy to help however I can. From childcare to housekeeping, errands, school drop-offs and pickups, and cooking. I love being in the kitchen and making healthy, home-cooked meals! I speak both Spanish and English. I currently work in food and retail, but I’m looking to make a move into full-time babysitting work. I’m reliable, caring, and bring years of real-life experience. Thank you!

“I’ve worked part time with Mila and she has an amazing work ethic!! She’s always early, thinks ahead, and is adaptable in shift. You can see how much she cares about kids when we help a nearby daycamp. She talks to kids with so much care and respect (which is why we always send her out as our speaker lol). She’d be an awesome babysitter!”

"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)."
