Booked by 66 families in Somerville, VA

Good Evening everyone my name is Aliya and I am currently a senior at George Mason. I am providing childcare, pet care, as well as household services. I am great with kids, I have previous experience helping my mom when I was in elementary school with her daycare. CURRENTLY, I am happy to say that I am aunt of 11 beautiful nieces and nephews so they keep me busy. My responsibilities with kids include driving to and from school, tutoring, and helping with any of their extra activities to the best of my ability. I can also cook and clean. A few years back my grandmother did live with me so I am familiar and comfortable with senior care.

Aliya was great! Punctual, professional, patient and great with our 2-month old!

Mila 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mila. I'm a proud mom of two kids— my oldest just graduated, and my youngest is in college. I’ve spent most of my life taking care of kids. First my own, and also my nieces and nephews. Now that my kids are growing up I’m excited to help other families and get back to doing something I truly enjoy, taking care of little ones. I know how busy life gets as a parent, so I’m happy to help however I can. From childcare to housekeeping, errands, school drop-offs and pickups, and cooking. I love being in the kitchen and making healthy, home-cooked meals! I speak both Spanish and English. I currently work in food and retail, but I’m looking to make a move into full-time babysitting work. I’m reliable, caring, and bring years of real-life experience. Thank you!

I’ve worked part time with Mila and she has an amazing work ethic!! She’s always early, thinks ahead, and is adaptable in shift. You can see how much she cares about kids when we help a nearby daycamp. She talks to kids with so much care and respect (which is why we always send her out as our speaker lol). She’d be an awesome babysitter!

Jade 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jade! I’m a proud Texan with a vibrant, cheerful, and energetic personality! I love spending time outdoors, traveling, and caring for animals. I also enjoy arts and crafts, singing, and dancing. Every week, I make time for church activities and fellowship, volunteering on weekends to give back wherever I can. I have experience caring for children of all ages through my church, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, loving, and supportive environment for them. Helping others and making a positive impact is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing that same energy wherever I go! Thank you!

Jade is amazing! She’s very reliable and flexible with her schedule which is extremely appreciated as I need a sitter on a case by case basis. I’ve worked with her before and she’s been around for 8 months now to help with my baby girl and puppy for when life just happens. A great help and i’d definitely recommend!

Nichole $18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a WFH insurance agent. I’m a 38 y.o. Christian, single female with no kids. However I have been babysitting on and off since I was 12. I have many friends with children, and it is my pleasure to be able to help them from time to time, as some are single mothers, since I’m in the position to help. I’m typically known as the adopted Auntie, as I’m very protective and it’s important the children feel safe in their own home. Especially under my care, as I take safety very seriously. While I am fun and like to laugh, I don’t allow that to take away from what’s important, such as their homework or any obligations they may have. I have reliable transportation, I cook, I clean, I change diapers, and I enjoy quality time with the children instead of only placing them in front of a television. Their responsibilities I will honor, as well as the parents requests. Feel free to reach out for references or if you would like to meet on zoom or for coffee. I do have a business meeting one Saturday a month. I typically get a 1-2 week notice as the day fluctuates. On these days, I am available from the am to around 1pm as I have to travel. Also I currently don’t have a vehicle as my transmission went but can get to and from your house if local.

"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)."
