Booked by 7 families in Newington, VA

Hi! I’m Ena’je I’m a reliable and nurturing childcare provider with 10+ years of experience caring for children from infants to school-aged kids. I was raised in an at-home daycare environment and have worked with many families over the years, which has helped me build a strong foundation in child development and care. My caregiving approach is Montessori-inspired, focusing on independence, hands-on learning, and respecting each child’s pace and interests. I encourage age-appropriate activities that support fine motor skills, problem-solving, creativity, and practical life skills in a calm, structured, and engaging environment. I also have experience with sleep training for newborns. I also have experience supporting families with school pick-up and drop-off, including direct school pick-ups, kiss-and-ride, and walking children to and from bus stops. Safety, punctuality, and consistency are always a top priority for me. I enjoy helping with homework, guiding creative play, organizing educational activities, and providing a warm, attentive presence. I adapt easily to each family’s routine and each child’s unique personality. Clear and open communication with parents is very important to me. I keep families informed about their child’s day and make sure instructions and preferences are followed closely. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to being a trusted and supportive caregiver for your family.

“Ena'je is a very attentive person and the kids immediately got used with her. She is very polite and flexible with our schedule. I would definitely recommend her to other families.”

Hi! My name is Yabi and I am an MA Development Studies student based in Germany but back in the US for a while to work on my thesis. I love children and have worked with them throughout my life. Growing up in Ethiopia, I volunteered at multiple orphanages, taught English at schools and babysat for family friends. I moved to Denver, Colorado in June 2013 where I continued to babysit for family friends, then moved to San Francisco, where I worked regularly on UrbanSitter for almost four years while completing my BA. In my free time, I enjoy books, travel, badminton, languages, and going on walks near the water. I am passionate about education and am currently studying to earn my TEFL certificate. I also have a BA in International Studies with minors in African Studies and Politics. Additionally, I am fluent in English and Amharic; I have limited working proficiency in German; I can read and write in Arabic; and I am currently learning Mandarin. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Working with Children has always brought me happiness, Teaching to maintain Hygiene(If its a concerns and parents want obviously), as well as teaching good manners, math and anything that needs to be taken care of, always be thankful. Spanish speaking, don’t mind teaching at all. Love being able to be there for your kids when you are not available, keeping them comfortable and distracted I have 2 beautiful nieces 2 and 4 year old niece that gives me strength and passion to love kids even more and appreciate those mom what they do for them. (I know its not easy!) Few days/hours a week I give my sister some time off for me to be with my nieces, for her to rest or do any errands which she loves including date nights since both my nieces where born, just loved being a present aunt. And they seeing me grow with them as we taught them about my pregnancy. They were so thrilled to meet my baby. That now all they do is ask for him first. Recently I became a mother with my first baby boy. He is 9 months old. Since day 1 my mother instinct kicked in with pain, I continued with my goals (no medication for labor-breastfeeding) was able to accomplish them just how I planned to. I have help from my husband as he had paternity leave. Yet I still want to do almost everything. I completely take over at night, bath routine, wash/sanitize pump parts/bottle. All while also making sure I meet my protein intake for milk supply. Practically I just have dad for soothing/burping. My baby name is Liam. He is the most wonderful thing that could happen to me and couldn’t ask for anything else in the world. I follow a schedule for him to sleep through the night. Always with the help of my sister as she is Doula (childcare/postpartum experienced) and personally experienced she provides me with knowledge up to date, formally showing my interest in following her footsteps. Love dogs and cats, former pet owner. I am fully vaccinated I and current with all. Experienced on childcare worked as a Receptionist for Pediatric Clinic for a couple of years. Then Pediatric Dentistry as a Hospital Admin. & Dental Assistant Trainee. Currently on maternity leave with no pay. And wouldn’t love nothing more than to be able to work with him while I do what I love.

"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."

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)."
