Booked by 1 family in Petersburg, VA

I'm CPR certified and I love coming up with creative activities to keep kids entertained, whether it's playing games, doing arts and crafts, or exploring the outdoors. I'm also happy to help with homework, stick to bedtime routines, and prepare meals,. If you're looking for someone to provide after-school care, date night care, or weekend babysitting, I'd love to hear from you! I’ve been in the child care field for 6 years and been working with children for many many more years and love it!

Mbi $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mbi and I offer child care, and household services. I raised my two younger sisters. The youngest was 3 months old and the oldest was 4 years at the time. I am very experienced in changing diaper, giving baths, feeling, burping and pampering babies to prepare them for sleep. I can also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I love pets but I'm also a little scared of them.

Jahmece $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jahmece. I’m a patient, dependable, attentive, responsible, and nurturing caregiver with 5+ years of working with children. I’ve loved working with kids for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they can feel comfortable and happy. I have the most experience with children ages 2-5 and love keeping them entertained while making sure they stay on schedule with meals, naps, activities, and other routines. I enjoy outdoor activities, movies, board games, dancing, painting, coloring, crafts, and heling with homework. I’m great at keeping children engaged while making sure they are safe and cared for. I also offer nannying, senior care, and household services. I have 1-2 years of senior care experience, including caring for my own grandparents and helping with everyday tasks, errands, meals, and keeping them company. I also genuinely enjoy cleaning, laundry, and organizing. I’m detail-oriented and take pride in keeping a home clean, comfortable, and organized. I’m happy to bring my own supplies when requested. My goal is to make families feel comfortable knowing their loved ones are in caring, trustworthy, and capable hands!

"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)."
