Marisol $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Communication, specializing in Audiovisual Media, and I am currently pursuing an Associate degree in Child Development. I bring over six years of hands-on experience caring for children, including infants as young as 6 months up to toddlers around 3 years old. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and hold a First Aid certification for both children and adults, which allows me to respond calmly and effectively in any situation. Beyond childcare, I take pride in supporting families as a whole, I help maintain a tidy and organized home, especially during nap times, so parents can focus on their responsibilities with peace of mind. In addition to my experience with children, I have over two years of experience caring for pets, including both dogs and cats, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have also supported older adults by assisting with household tasks and adapting to their individual needs with patience and respect. I would describe myself as responsible, nurturing, attentive, and proactive. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where those in my care feel comfortable and valued.

Maria $30 per hour for 1 child

I would describe myself as a communicative, open-minded, happy, friendly, supportive, polite, and creative nanny. I am also a very responsible, hard-working, and reliable person. I am committed to providing a safe environment and being a true friend to your children, enjoying a variety of activities together. I am someone you can genuinely trust. I have experience working with children of different ages (from newborns to 5-year-olds), both in home settings and in daycare centers for about seven years. I truly enjoy working with children because I love witnessing their curiosity, their daily achievements, and the way they learn and grow. My short-term goal is to complete my studies and apply the knowledge I gain to better support children and their families in their holistic development.

Hi there! Nice to meet you! My name’s Lauren and I’m looking forward to working with your family. Here’s a bit about myself: I have years of experience working with children ages 1-10 as a babysitter, nanny, and I also previously worked as 4th and 5th grade elementary school teacher in Fairfax County. As I care for your child, I’ll make sure they are happy, engaged, and safe! Currently, I am taking a break from teaching and do private tutoring as well as babysitting. Please feel free to let me know any routines you follow, any likes/dislikes that your child may have, or anything you'd like to share with me. During care of your child, I'll respond to your calls/texts right away. I'm open to do a video call to introduce myself if you prefer that as well. Hope to hear from you! :) -Lauren

Very professional. On time. Good communication. Seamlessly integrated herself and made the transition easy for us to leave. Our little one had a great time with Hyun. Def recommend!

"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)."
