Booked by 5 families in Springfield, VA

Hi! I’m Ena’je I’m a reliable and nurturing childcare provider with 10 years of experience caring for children from infants to school-aged kids. I was raised in an at-home daycare environment and have worked with many families over the years, which has helped me build a strong foundation in child development and care. My caregiving approach is Montessori-inspired, focusing on independence, hands-on learning, and respecting each child’s pace and interests. I encourage age-appropriate activities that support fine motor skills, problem-solving, creativity, and practical life skills in a calm, structured, and engaging environment. I also have experience supporting families with school pick-up and drop-off, including direct school pick-ups, kiss-and-ride, and walking children to and from bus stops. Safety, punctuality, and consistency are always a top priority for me. I enjoy helping with homework, guiding creative play, organizing educational activities, and providing a warm, attentive presence. I adapt easily to each family’s routine and each child’s unique personality. Clear and open communication with parents is very important to me. I keep families informed about their child’s day and make sure instructions and preferences are followed closely. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to being a trusted and supportive caregiver for your family.

I was incredibly lucky to have Ena’je’s support and help during my 2 year old and 1 year old’s back-to-back ear tube surgery in Fairfax, while my husband was away on a work trip. It was a lot to go through and juggle, especially being 4 months’ pregnant! I had never met Ena’je in person beforehand, but as soon as she arrived and saw my 2 year old having a tantrum at a brand new doctor’s surgery, she immediately assisted and settled him on her lap. He took to her straight away and felt very comforted. Ena’je looked after both of of my boys in the playroom while I had to address some matters with the doctors, and she was in charge of the baby’s recovery process while the toddler was being operated on. The baby was also very settled with her and I was so relieved to have hired her that day! I couldn’t have done it without her. 2 days later, she looked after the baby while he was out of daycare recovering from the surgery, just so that I could go to work for a few hours and not fall behind. She fed him, put him down for his nap and played with him. It was so obvious to me that she knew what she was doing and was well-qualified for the job. She is kind, patient, nurturing and professional. I will definitely be hiring her again without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you so much Ena’je. You are such a blessing!

Wendy 3 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Springfield, VA

A little bit about me… Families often tell me I bring a calm, and engaging presence—especially with babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I love nurturing curiosity through play, encouraging independence, and creating predictable routines that help children feel safe, confident, and deeply cared for. I have several years of experience with infants as well as elementary aged children. Over the past year, I've had the privilege of serving as a full-time live-out nanny for a wonderful family with two energetic, curious children (currently ages 3 and 5). With my experience homeschooling and parenting my own high energy children, this role strengthened my abilities even more. My responsibilities include daily transportation in the family's vehicle to and from school, camps, appointments, play dates, and extracurricular activities, while maintaining a safe, organized, and dependable routine. I am neurodiversity-affirming and have additional training supporting children with learning differences, including dyslexia, and dysgraphia. My focus is always connection-based care. I would love to learn how I can support you and your families needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and background checked with clean driving record.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Wendy. Any family who has the opportunity to hire her will be incredibly fortunate. Wendy brings an infectious energy and enthusiasm to everything she does. She is creative, patient, and has a remarkable ability to connect with children, even in the most challenging situations. Whether she's helping a child navigate potty training, working through meltdowns, or supporting them during moments of sensory overload, she approaches every challenge with calm, empathy, and skill. She teaches children effective ways to cope with big emotions, communicate their needs, and build confidence. Her knowledge of child development is exceptional, and it's clear that her years of experience have given her both incredible wisdom and intuition. She creates a safe, nurturing environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to grow. At the same time, she establishes clear expectations and helps children develop respect, kindness, and independence. Wendy is also an excellent communicator. She is reliable, professional, and always open to feedback and collaboration. We always felt comfortable discussing ideas or concerns, knowing she would listen thoughtfully and work with us as a true partner in caring for our children. Most importantly, our children absolutely adored her. They looked forward to every day they spent with Wendy, and we loved knowing they were not only having fun but also learning, growing, and thriving under her care. We are incredibly grateful for the time our family had with Wendy. She has made a lasting impact on our children, and we recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an exceptional nanny.

"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)."
