Abby $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm currently an undergraduate student at American University pursuing a degree in Political Science. I'm seeking a summer nanny/babysitting opportunity. I have a multitude of experience in childcare starting when I was 15 years old: - Babysitter (4+ yrs) - Theatre camp counselors (4+ yrs) - Behavior counselor for children with intellectual disabilities (1 yr) - Princess Performer for children (3 yrs) - English language tutor (6 mon) I'm an extremely artistic and empathic person. As a sitter/nanny, I believe in the importance of teaching them something new every day! Whether that's by talking about DC history, participating in arts and crafts, or going for a fun hike! Please reach out if you have any questions, I would love to get to know you and your kids!

"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)."
