Hi! My name is Agustina, I’m 27 years old and I’m from Argentina, currently living in Alexandria with my husband I have been taking care of kids since 2020 while I was finishing college. After I concluded my studies, I worked in an oil company and quit to come to the USA with a J1 visa to improve my english and have a cultural exchange experience. I moved to Washington DC in 2022 with a host family, taking care of their 4 kids, (ages 5, 7, 9 and 11yo). On 2023, I worked for another host family in VA, caring for 2 kids (ages 6 and 8) I have also more nannying experiences with kids and babies, for reference. Experience from 7 weeks old - 11 years old. I am CPR and First AID certified, know how to swim, have a DL and own transportation.

Abbie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a senior at Georgetown, and more proudly, I'm Aunt Abbie to 13 of my nieces and nephews, ages 2-19. Growing up, they were my life, spending days, nights, or even just a few hours taking care of them. I've been exposed to childcare since I can remember, and I've learned from the best, my siblings, on how to take care of babies, toddlers, kids, and teens. I'm also a member of the track team here at Georgetown, so I'm super active and love getting the energy out (for the kids and me!) I'm flexible this summer and I'm open to all needs and concerns!

Shana $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny and caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including children with autism and cerebral palsy. Families appreciate my calm, nurturing personality, strong sense of responsibility, and ability to keep children engaged, safe, and happy. I’m also comfortable helping with household support such as meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, errands, and maintaining routines that help families run smoothly. As a mother myself, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and creating a warm environment where children feel supported, loved, and encouraged to grow.

Booked by 1 family in Merrifield, VA

Hello, My name is Izzy and I have been nannying for over a decade. I have A LOT of young nieces and nephews but beyond that, I’ve been working in childcare since I was a teenager. I like to make it a point early on to let my families know that I’m always willing to work on price points, my priority is a comfortable arrangement for everyone. I’ve volunteered and worked at a few summer camps in Los Angeles, I have experience nannying children from age 0-11, including special needs, over night stays, school pickup, meal prep, tutoring, light housework, multi child households, and many other aspects of childcare. I’m looking for part time work but I am super flexible! Ideally, I would love to find one family that I work for weekly with a set schedule.

“I'm happy to recommend Izzy because she's reliable, always left the house neat and got the kids to bed on time. My girls would recommend her because she's funny, reads good stories and loves to play games. She was a wonderful help to our family.”

"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)."
