Booked by 1 family in Reston, VA

Hello! I'm an author and narrative strategist looking to supplement my freelance income while I edit my first book. I worked as a camp counselor (Potomac School, Ligonier Camp) before heading off to NYC for my former life as an editor (Martha Stewart, NBCUniversal); now in my mid-30s, I'm excited to revive my skills as a part-time babysitter. If you're looking for curiosity, calm authority, and an artistic presence who's always down for creative play, I'm your gal. I also do a killer read-aloud bedtime story.

Ellie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Ellie. I am the middle child of 5 and I am from Vienna, Virginia. I just finished my first year at Franciscan University, majoring in nursing and playing on their soccer team. I love spending time with kids and enjoy being outdoors, especially going on hikes and exploring nature. I have been babysitting for almost 7 years, with experience from 5 months-12 years. I’ve babysat regularly for a family of 5 boys, so I am comfortable managing multiple children. I’m attentive and creative, and I love doing crafts and playing games outside. I also love reading books and I like to bring a long some of my favorites to share:) In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, laundry and errands. I also have several pets of my own at home, so I am also comfortable with pet care if need be.

Ella $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Reston, VA

Hi! My name is Ella, I’m 21 years old, and currently a senior in college. I have over five years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning in Sweden, where I regularly babysat for multiple families. My passion for working with kids has only grown since then. I spent a full summer working at a daycare, caring for children ages 0–5, which gave me strong experience with infants, toddlers, and early childhood development. I have also worked as a camp counselor for three years, supervising overnight campers and helping create a fun, safe, and memorable environment. This role taught me how to stay calm under pressure, manage group dynamics, and connect with kids of all personalities. For the past two years, I’ve been part of the Kaizen MMA after-school program, where I help plan camp days, supervise activities, and manage game time for groups of over 90 kids. This has strengthened my skills in organization, creativity, and large-group safety. Outside of my professional experience, I’ve taken care of my younger cousins their whole lives, which sparked my love for childcare in the first place. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and truly enjoy supporting kids as they learn and grow. I’d love to help your family next!

"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)."
