Hi, I'm responsible, punctual, and very caring. I do not drink or smoke at all. I have over 10 years of experience with children, ranging from newborns to teenagers. I love introducing the children I babysit to the different languages I speak. Arts and crafts, outside play, walking to the library, games and reading are activities I enjoy when babysitting. I am excited to meet you and your children!

“She was wonderful. Our little one was being a bit moody and I thought it might be a screen night, but she got him to calm down and play, which was outstanding! By the time we came home our little one was happy and asked to see her again.”

Booked by 13 families in McLean, VA

Hello! I've successfully raised two sons who are now self-sufficient young adults. I adore children of all ages. I conduct legal background checks on caregivers, tutors, coaches, and anyone else with whom your child interacts. I am also adept at (and enjoy!) organizing homes and offices, And I teach teens to drive. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, and a graduate certificate from Cornell University in the Psychology of Leadership. I have a spotless driving record; no criminal history; and I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid. For the past twenty years, I've been fortunate to own and run a firm that places a premium on ethics, discretion, tact, and confidentiality. I'm embarking on a career pivot that will include graduate work in child and adolescent psychology. I relied on my nanny when I was working full-time, and I trusted her implicitly. I hope to earn your trust and give you hard-working parents the break you deserve!

“Cristina is an exceptional organizing expert who transformed a daunting move-in situation into a manageable task in just one afternoon. With her professionalism, punctuality, clear communication, cheerful demeanor, and creative problem-solving skills, she tackled every space challenge with ease, finding smart solutions that I hadn’t considered. Her efficiency and positive energy made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Cristina’s expertise and attention to detail turned a potentially overwhelming day into a smooth, organized experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to bring order to their space with a professional who truly cares about making your life easier and your home more functional.”

Booked by 6 families in McLean, VA

Hi everybody! My name is Klaudia and besides being a part-time babysitter I'm open to families which are considering to have a live-in or live-out nanny. I have wide experience with kids in different ages. As a certified Red Cross first-aid trainer I was able to teach kids about the health, first-air and CPR. I am very patient and I love to see the progress that kids can make. Besides my long experience with kids, including kids with disabilities, as an ordinary nanny for total of 6 years, I was a live-in nanny for almost two years. This experience consisted from taking care of three kids (ages 5, 9 and 12), driving them to activities, making a food for them, helping them with homework and of course having fun! What I liked about this experience was the opportunity to maintain great relationship with these kids and the ability to be there for them anytime they needed me. Additionally, I do have experience with toddlers and infants, bedtime and morning routines, feeding and playing with babies or taking them for stroller walks. I'm also enjoying tutoring English and Math. Please don't hesitate to send me a message.

"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)."
