My name is Julia and I am a health science student at Montgomery College, I graduated high school early and have worked at a public school right here in dc. I am currently providing child care and I don’t mind pets! I would love to be your babysitter and I have lots of experience with kids of any ages up to 12. I am used to helping with homework, going to the park, pool, reading books, and doing lots of fun activities with them. Feel free to take a look! [removed]

Hi! I'm Zyanna, and I have more than 10 years of professional childcare experience, including six years with one wonderful family where my role grew from nanny to trusted household manager. Today, I continue supporting multiple families as both a full-time and part-time nanny while completing my Bachelor's degree in Animal Science with a 3.9 GPA. I am interested in full time opportunities in Charlotte,NC (Aug 2026) and part time/ occasional care during last few months in the DMV. I believe every family is different, so my first question is always, "How can I best support you?" Whether that means keeping the household organized, creating engaging activities, helping with homework, managing school pick-ups and drop-offs, planning outings, or simply giving parents the peace of mind that everything is taken care of, I tailor my care to fit each family's unique needs. I've cared for children from newborns through age 14 and have extensive experience with overnight care, sleep training, travel, tutoring, homework assistance, household organization, children's laundry, activity planning, and maintaining consistent daily routines. I also have experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental disabilities, and behavioral challenges, always adapting my approach to meet each child's individual needs. Families describe me as dependable, calm, organized, and someone they trust completely. I take pride in building long-term relationships, anticipating needs before they're asked, and creating a safe, positive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. Before returning to full-time private household work, I served as a Veterinary Technician II in the Intensive Care Unit at the National Institutes of Health, an experience that strengthened my professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and ability to remain calm under pressure. I'm also certified in American Red Cross Adult, Child, Infant, and Pet CPR & First Aid, and I'm very comfortable caring for families with pets. I look forward to getting to know your family and becoming someone you can truly rely on!

My girls love her, which is especially comforting because my 6-year-old autistic daughter doesn't like many people. She is prompt, professional and great with kids.

Hello families my name is Nakya and I was born and raise in Washington DC. I am very excited to have the opportunity to be part of your family. I have work in the daycare facilities for over 14 years with 10 years experience as a CDA licensed childcare provider specializing in the care of children ranging in age from newborns to teens. I am CPR and first aide certified with special early child care training. also working towards fulfilling my passion in special-education. My favorite Learning activity to do with the children is the five senses I loved this activity because it gives me a chance to watch the children explore their sense while learning all about their five sense. I also enjoy reading, arts and crafts, and engaging in fun creative indoor/outdoor activities that children will find entertaining and fulfilling. My hobbies are writing poetry, reading books and spending time with my family and friends... working with children is my passion and I loved every bit of it.

Nakya was our first care taker for our son (and our first as parents), from the time he was 4 months old to 18 months. She was especially sweet & gentle with a young infant, which was very endearing. As our son grew -- and we added a second family to a nanny share -- Nakya's experience with a wide range of ages became very helpful. She had respectful tips to offer us as the boys grew and developed. Adult-to-adult, Nakya is engaging, energetic, and talkative. And just as she had helpful advice to give, she was very open to feedback. The only reason we don't still employ Nakya is the covid-19 pandemic; we don't currently need childcare. Thank you for everything, Nakya!

"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)."
