Arlington
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 183 families in Somerville, VA

I have been a nanny since I was 15 years old. I have watched all ages of children from infants to preteens. I have worked with children with special needs as well. I am also accustomed to working with more than three children. I have had jobs as a summer nanny, date night babysitter, and overnight weekend sitter. I am also a swim coach and teach swim lessons, so I have worked with children in many different settings. I also have been a certified lifeguard for the past seven years and I am accustomed to teaching children to swim and saving their lives in the water. I am allergic to mushrooms so if meal prep is involved please make sure they are not involved with it! **Note if you cancel within less than 24 hours I require 2 hours minimum cancelation fee. Thank you!**

Hannah was fantastic. So friendly and our daughter loved her!

Silver Spring
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Somerville, VA

Hi! I'm Zyanna, and I have more than 10 years of professional childcare experience, including six years with one wonderful family where my role grew from nanny to trusted household manager. Today, I continue supporting multiple families as both a full-time and part-time nanny while completing my Bachelor's degree in Animal Science with a 3.9 GPA. I am interested in full time opportunities in Charlotte,NC (Aug 2026) and part time/ occasional care during last few months in the DMV. I believe every family is different, so my first question is always, "How can I best support you?" Whether that means keeping the household organized, creating engaging activities, helping with homework, managing school pick-ups and drop-offs, planning outings, or simply giving parents the peace of mind that everything is taken care of, I tailor my care to fit each family's unique needs. I've cared for children from newborns through age 14 and have extensive experience with overnight care, sleep training, travel, tutoring, homework assistance, household organization, children's laundry, activity planning, and maintaining consistent daily routines. I also have experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental disabilities, and behavioral challenges, always adapting my approach to meet each child's individual needs. Families describe me as dependable, calm, organized, and someone they trust completely. I take pride in building long-term relationships, anticipating needs before they're asked, and creating a safe, positive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. Before returning to full-time private household work, I served as a Veterinary Technician II in the Intensive Care Unit at the National Institutes of Health, an experience that strengthened my professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and ability to remain calm under pressure. I'm also certified in American Red Cross Adult, Child, Infant, and Pet CPR & First Aid, and I'm very comfortable caring for families with pets. I look forward to getting to know your family and becoming someone you can truly rely on!

My girls love her, which is especially comforting because my 6-year-old autistic daughter doesn't like many people. She is prompt, professional and great with kids.

"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."

"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
