Booked by 2 families in Springfield, VA

Hi! My name is Nicol, and I truly enjoy caring for kids and supporting families. I'm patient, responsible, creative, and friendly. I communicate with parents through daily reports, texts, or phone calls, always respecting their preferred method. I have my First Aid and CPR certification and more than 4 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and older children. I love playing all kinds of games with kids! Arts and crafts are definitely a favorite--I love making things together! I also enjoy puzzles, video games, and educational games. I've even played games to help teach Spanish to kids I've cared for too! And of course, I enjoy outdoor activities, like hiking, volleyball, or just playing outside. I'm open to anything that keeps the kids happy and learning while having fun (and of course with the parents authorization) . My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and fun environment where children feel supported and cared for.

Nico is a great babysitter. We have used her multiple multiple times over the years. She started with us when we just had one, and now she watches both our boys. She’s very warm, and the babies like having her as their sitter. She’s easy to work with and communicative. She was our friend’s au pair, as well, until her kids were both in school. She’s trustworthy and you should give her a chance! She’s the best!

Booked by 1 family in Springfield, VA

Hello, this is Nurhayat. I live in Arlington, VA. I am a patient, positive, and bilingual 28-year-old with 10+ years of childcare experience. I have an International Relations degree from my home country, Türkiye, and I have been working with children since high school. I am currently studying Business Administration at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), and I am planning to transfer to George Mason University next year to continue my education. I am currently taking care of three adorable children, ages 2, 5, and 6.5. Due to their grandmother moving in with them, I am looking for a new opportunity. I am a planner and a multitasker, and it brings me a lot of joy to be around children and support them as they learn, grow, explore, and enjoy every moment. I believe one of the most important parts of childcare is providing a safe and stable environment while keeping things fun, engaging, and making sure children feel heard and cared for. I am also willing to help with additional tasks. I have references that I would be happy to provide. I have a valid work permit and my own car. I would love the opportunity to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family. Thank you!

she was great with my 7-year-old son. She was really helpful in assisting him with his homework and made a positive difference in his learning

Booked by 1 family in Springfield, VA

I have worked with children since I was 17 years old! I have worked for a daycare as a lead for the infant room, twos room, threes room, fours and school age as well as assisted in all classrooms. I also was an assistant director for some time at the center as well! I also have obtained my CDA through the school I was working for as well. I love teaching children and now that I am a busy mom with 3 children of my own (5, 8 and 14) I thought it would be a good time to branch out and try being a nanny for a family. I love pets of any shape or size and I know how hard it can be to come home from a long day at work, so I don't mind doing light housekeeping chores!

"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)."
