Hello I am Victoria. Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I began babysitting at 16, looking after my younger siblings and families in my community. Known for being patient, loving, and attentive, I’m experienced in overnight care, driving kids to activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I hold a degree in finance and have previously worked at the World Bank. While I’m transitioning into my next career move, I’m focusing on what I love—working with children and providing exceptional care. I come with excellent recommendations and a proven track record of trust and reliability. I am fluent in both French and English. I know I’m too good to be true so here is my BUT… I am allergic and scared to death of pets. It’s very irrational and silly but thats my only downside haha. Please feel free to ask me any information that you need and if you think I'm a good fit for your family I would be more than happy to talk to you.

Hello my name is Stephanie, and I am currently a student a NOVA. I have been babysitting for 5years now. I love taking care of kids. It’s a best way to spend my day, and it is also preparing me for handling my own kids someday. I love to be surrounded by kids because you become more creative and resourceful, and no feeling is better than when a kid says that you’re their favorite babysitter. So I make sure that the kids are have fun and enjoy my company. I also passionate about teaching so while babysitting I can help your kid with their homework and teach them French because I am a French speaker.

Hi! My name is Brianna, I am 24 years old and I am a professional nanny based in the Alexandria, VA area reaching Arlington, VA and DC. I am a screen-free, play-based nanny as I prioritize interactive and imaginative play as well as age appropriate developmental/instructional time. I strive to create a safe, nurturing and fun environment with kindness, creativity and a passion to learn. About my experience— I have been a professional nanny since August 2023. Over the last three years I have worked with children aged newborn-12 years old. Truly, it is hard to say what I haven’t done in my three years of experience! From creating and maintaining infant routines to potty training toddlers and assisting with elementary school drop off, I have had the opportunity to learn so much in the last three years. I value working closely with parents to ensure the best, proper care for their child(ren). A bit about me personally— I grew up in the Alexandria, VA area with my parents and two brothers. I have always had a love for books, writing and music. I love to bake and I spend endless hours crafting all sorts of things! I am hoping to find a full time position with a flexible start date after August 2026. Reach out with any questions, I’m looking forward to connecting soon!

"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)."
