Booked by 2 families in Mount Vernon, VA

Hi! My name is Nicol, and I truly enjoy caring for kids and supporting families. I'm patient, responsible, creative, and friendly. I communicate with parents through daily reports, texts, or phone calls, always respecting their preferred method. I have my First Aid and CPR certification and more than 4 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and older children. I love playing all kinds of games with kids! Arts and crafts are definitely a favorite--I love making things together! I also enjoy puzzles, video games, and educational games. I've even played games to help teach Spanish to kids I've cared for too! And of course, I enjoy outdoor activities, like hiking, volleyball, or just playing outside. I'm open to anything that keeps the kids happy and learning while having fun (and of course with the parents authorization) . My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and fun environment where children feel supported and cared for.

Nico is a great babysitter. We have used her multiple multiple times over the years. She started with us when we just had one, and now she watches both our boys. She’s very warm, and the babies like having her as their sitter. She’s easy to work with and communicative. She was our friend’s au pair, as well, until her kids were both in school. She’s trustworthy and you should give her a chance! She’s the best!

Denise Fort Washington
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Denise - I am 70 years old but I feel 50 years old and my 42 year old daughter says I can run circles around her and her staff. I am a nurse for 50 years (did I just say that? wow!) and I often work catering for her her restaurant. So not only do I love kids and pets but I love interior design, keeping kids engaged, playing with dogs and cats, taking care of the home and find myself organizing as I move along the house, giving the kids activities, being support to their parents, find peace in doing laundry, prepping for events, helping to host and serve at events, throwing kids birthday parties, decorating for weddings and social gatherings, love attending sports events and bringing the kids to the parks and play dates, and encourage manners, positive activities, and being an "auntie". LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING DAYS EASY, ENJOYABLE, & BEING PART OF THE FAMILY. I am here to help and be a friend, babysitter, housesitter, and house manager.

I like to leave a space cleaner than when I arrived and am happy to run errands, cook, and drive kids to activities. I am First Aid/CPR/AED certified and have completed the Better Kid Care training. And, I grew up with cats and dogs and am comfortable caring for both.

Fort Washington
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Mount Vernon, VA

Hi, I’m Eliza! I’m the oldest of four sisters, so taking care of little ones has been a part of my life from a young age! I have hands-on experience with children of different ages. I cared for a newborn for almost a year and also looked after a 7-year-old girl for a year. Currently, I work full-time caring for a newborn and a toddler, but I’m available to weekends and weeknights babysitting opportunities. I’m certified in CPR and have completed a specialized course in newborn care. I have experience with everything from feeding, bathing, and playing to putting children to sleep and driving them safely when needed. I truly love working with babies and toddlers. I believe each stage of childhood is special, and I’m well-prepared to support and care for children with love, patience, and responsibility. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and experienced to care for your little ones, I’d be happy to help!

Eliza was wonderful; she arrived right on time, got the kids fed, and even came prepared with a fun activity (balloons to make balloon animals), which our kids absolutely loved and are already begging for her to come back. What impressed us most is that she successfully put both kids to bed, which can be genuinely challenging in our house and is where many babysitters struggle. She was also very communicative both before the job and throughout the evening, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
