Booked by 1 family in Merrifield, VA

Hi, my name is Krista and I am a college student home for the summer looking for babysitting/nanny jobs! With four years of hands-on experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for kids of all ages, including those with special needs. I am CPR, AED, and First Aid certified and I’m open to watching kids of all ages and abilities. I also have years of experience with animals from dogs to bearded dragons to horses. I can complete house hold chores or provide homework help if need be! I also have a large, safe car and I am willing to drive around your little ones (will need to be provided with booster seats if applicable). If you need a reliable and responsible babysitter or pet sitter, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Krista was wonderful with our 6 year old daughter. She was consistently punctual and responsive. We would happily hire her again!

"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)."
