Maria 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Maria, and I am from El Salvador. I am a Spanish speaker and I also speak some English. I have over 20 years of experience working with children of all ages. In my home country, I worked as a nurse assistant, which helped me develop strong caregiving and safety skills. My most recent experience has been mainly with babies and toddlers. I am very passionate about working with children. I consider myself patient, loving, sweet, and friendly, and I truly enjoy helping children grow in a safe, healthy, and loving environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am looking for a respectful family where we can work together as a team and create a positive and nurturing environment for the baby. I am fully vaccinated and available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I also have excellent references available upon request. I would love to hear more about your family. Thank you for your time!

“I can’t recommend **Maria** highly enough as a nanny. She is loving, dependable, and truly wonderful with children. From the moment she steps into a home, Maria brings a calm, nurturing presence that immediately puts both children and parents at ease. Maria is incredibly attentive and patient, always tuning in to each child’s needs and personality. She handles daily routines like meals, naps, playtime, and bedtime with ease, while making everything feel gentle and reassuring rather than rigid. Safety and care are always her top priorities, and it shows in the thoughtful way she approaches every part of her role. What truly sets Maria apart is her genuine love for children. She builds meaningful connections, engages them with warmth and creativity, and creates an environment where they feel safe, happy, and loved. She is reliable, communicative, and respectful of family routines, making her an absolute joy to work with. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Maria as their nanny. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their children and their home.”

Eva $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Merrifield, VA

I am an 18 year old student with a part time remote job and a hardworking mindset. While living with my family, both of my parents worked full time, which meant I learned to cook, clean, and take care of my two younger brothers from age 10. I cannot get on with my day unless I am in a clean space. I enjoy cooking and a healthy lifestyle, and in my free time read, play the violin, go on walks, and converse with any adults around me. My mother also owns a music studio (piano & vocal), and I am always around kids, whether tutoring or taking care of them.

Veronica $25 per hour for 1 child

👋🏽Hi! I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, from 3 months to 12 years old. I started at a kids academy where I led creative activities, games, and age-appropriate play. I'm currently a full-time nanny for two school-aged boys, and I also frequently babysit for local families in my neighborhood. Through babysitting, I've cared for children as young as infants, and I'm a regular sitter for a family with a 10 month old and 3-year-old. Because of this, I'm very comfortable adapting to different age groups and their unique needs, especially with babies and toddlers, where I have the most hands-on experience. What I love most about working with kids is that every child is so different. I really enjoy getting to know their personalities, interests, and what makes them feel comfortable, and then tailoring activities and routines to fit them. I'm very hands-on, patient, and naturally energetic. I love being outside, staying active, and keeping kids engaged-whether that's playing games, doing crafts, or just making everyday routines fun. I bring a calm, positive energy while still being someone kids can have fun with and trust. I'm also very clean and organized, and I always make sure to leave a home better than I found it. I genuinely enjoy being a caregiver and creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for kids.

Ella $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Merrifield, VA

Hi! My name is Ella, I’m 21 years old, and currently a senior in college. I have over five years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning in Sweden, where I regularly babysat for multiple families. My passion for working with kids has only grown since then. I spent a full summer working at a daycare, caring for children ages 0–5, which gave me strong experience with infants, toddlers, and early childhood development. I have also worked as a camp counselor for three years, supervising overnight campers and helping create a fun, safe, and memorable environment. This role taught me how to stay calm under pressure, manage group dynamics, and connect with kids of all personalities. For the past two years, I’ve been part of the Kaizen MMA after-school program, where I help plan camp days, supervise activities, and manage game time for groups of over 90 kids. This has strengthened my skills in organization, creativity, and large-group safety. Outside of my professional experience, I’ve taken care of my younger cousins their whole lives, which sparked my love for childcare in the first place. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and truly enjoy supporting kids as they learn and grow. I’d love to help your family next!

"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)."
