Gianna $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, diligent, communicative, tidy, trustworthy employee. I have plenty experience with kids and absolutely adore them, especially helping them in church Sunday school, along with helping raise my six-year-old nephew from as young as three months. I love to help people, I’m open to any postpartum mothers, first time, or infants, and I’m willing to help out any senior citizens. I am CPRBLS certified. I was in nursing school and completed 40 hours of clinicals in a nursing home and again in hospital, and I’m currently working on my CNA certificate. I hope you come across me for your next night out, date night, or even if you just need a well-deserved break!

Gary 2 reviews
$18 per hour for 1 child

First, I have an M.Ed. from the University of Virginia, with a focus on children with disabilities. References, police, and a clear CPS background report are available. I am a fun-loving, easy-going, and active caretaker specifically trained to work with special needs, including ASD, Tourette, ADHD, and similar disabilities. ABA trained, and the father of a child with comparable disabilities who is now a successful adult. Most kids love me and are willing to dive in and have fun. My daughter is a lawyer and teaches ethics, and I am especially adept at taking kids out to the mall, local airport, commuter train to the D.C. museums, or Richmond. I have a commercial CDL with a student endorsement, and we go anywhere we can practice calming and behavior, and have fun in various environments. Swimming pools and lakes are incredibly attractive to kids with ASD and extremely dangerous since most can't swim. I specialize in providing survival swimming at the local YMCA. ( I have a membership, and the crew at Massad Stafford YMCA knows me. I have been active as a Big Brother mentor for almost 14 years, giving back to my community. I love electronics, gadgets, elephants, the Mars Rover, the landscape of Venus, and everything about the James Webb Telescope. Many kids love this stuff, too. Some kids can make their bed with help, and afterward, we can grill a cheese sandwich, read a picture book, or watch a video... but not all day! I have cared for a 7-year-old with comorbidities for almost four years and helped potty-train him. BTW, I currently teach middle school reading, am rarely grouchy, and, as a Gemini, remain in touch with my inner child forever. I have extensive experience helping kids with autism and related needs; I might be able to give you a break from the routine without breaking your budget.

Gary is a wonderful caretaker of our children, including one who has ASD and special needs! We have worked with him for over three years and trust Gary with both our boys, aged 7 and 5. Gary is professional, knowledgeable, very understanding, and kind. We enjoy working with Gary, and he is excellent taking our special needs child to his swimming pool, or out for adventures in FXBG, D.C., Richmond. He has an excellent rating on CheckR, BTW.

Booked by 2 families in Sandy Hook, VA

Hi - My name is Isabel. I am offering child care and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins.) since I was 20 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, light housekeeping, and drive to activities I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own parents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

Amazing! She was incredibly kind, patient, and engaging. She kept my son busy with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities while making sure I could focus on work without interruptions. We’ll absolutely be booking again!

"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
