Hello my name is Juanita and I've been a nanny, babysitter and teacher for 15 years. I have experience with caring for children between the ages of 3mos.-13yrs.old(some children with special needs). I've also worked in three different day cares and volunteered in 1st and 5th grade elementary school classes. I am what people may call a "traveling nanny". I travel anywhere in the U.S. with families. If you're interested in my services, I can provide you with as many references as you may need. Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

ā€œJuanita did a great job watching my son when he was home sick from school. He was really fussy and she dealt with it very well. ā€

Neyva $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Neyva and I am 29 years old. I have been working with children since I was 16, which has given me extensive experience in childcare. I have had the pleasure of caring for children of various ages, from newborns to 11 years old. For the past two years, I had the privilege of caring for twins from their first month until they turned two, helping them with tummy time, walking, meal preparation, and potty training. Additionally, I am certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both adults and children, which ensures I am always prepared for any emergency and can guarantee the safety of the little ones. My approach as a nanny is to create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, adapting to the unique needs of each child. I consider myself responsible, patient and honest. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both the children and their families, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and satisfied with the care I provide. I am available to care for children in DMV area and I would be happy to discuss how I can support your family further.

"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)."
