Beatriz $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Beatriz, but everyone calls me Betty. I’m a Latina, a proud mother of three, and a trained nurse with over 23 years of experience living in the United States. With a strong background in healthcare and family care, I bring compassion, patience, and professionalism to every family I work with. As a nurse, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and emotional support — whether I’m caring for children, seniors, or even pets. I have experience with children of all ages, and I love creating a warm, engaging, and safe environment where they can learn, play, and grow. I’m also experienced in senior care, offering kind companionship, assistance with daily routines, and medical awareness when needed. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and deeply respectful of each family's values and routines. I’m also an animal lover and enjoy caring for dogs — ensuring they get the exercise, affection, and attention they need. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wide range of families and provide inclusive care. Being a mother and a healthcare professional has taught me how to stay calm in stressful situations, how to multitask with care, and how to treat every person with dignity and kindness. If you’re looking for someone reliable, nurturing, and experienced — someone who truly cares — I would love to support your family in any way I can. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to meet you soon!

Booked by 1 family in Merrifield, VA

I’m a Georgetown resident living here with my husband and our friendly Bernedoodle, Goose. We recently moved to DC after finishing business school at Dartmouth, and outside of my 9–5 job, I’m hoping to earn a bit of extra income. I have extensive childcare experience and feel very comfortable with children of all ages. I’m the oldest of four siblings and come from a very large family (32 first cousins on my mom’s side!), so caring for kids has been a constant part of my life. In addition, I babysat regularly throughout high school and college. I’m responsible, calm, and engaged. I am happy to help with everything from playtime and homework to bedtime routines. I’m flexible for evenings and weekends. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect!

Fiona took excellent care of our pet while we were away and was friendly and reliable. We would not hesitate to use 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)."
