Anna $60 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a Physician Assistant (PA) student finishing my first year with over five years of babysitting experience caring for children of various ages. In addition to babysitting, I have hands-on pediatric healthcare experience and am certified in both Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), giving families added peace of mind. I strive to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading books, helping with homework, or spending time outdoors. I’m also a huge dog lover and am more than happy to care for your furry family members as well, whether that means letting them out, going for walks, or giving them plenty of attention. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while making sure your children (and pets!) are happy, safe, and well cared for.

Booked by 1 family in The Plains, VA

I have hands-on experience providing care for children, seniors, and pets, as well as helping with household tasks. I’ve worked in caregiving roles where I supported daily routines, provided companionship, and made sure the people in my care felt safe, comfortable, and respected. I also have experience helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized home environment. What makes me a great caregiver is my patience, kindness, and strong sense of responsibility. I genuinely care about people’s well-being and always try to create a calm, positive, and supportive environment. I am very attentive to detail, reliable, and able to stay calm in stressful situations. I also enjoy building trust and strong relationships with the people I care for, whether they are children, seniors, or pets. I’m naturally nurturing, compassionate, and hardworking. I take pride in being dependable and going above and beyond to make sure others feel supported and cared for.

Isabel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Isabel and I have recently graduated from high school. I’m planning on going to JMU in the fall. I’ve had experience with watching kids and animals since I was in 7th grade: I grew up babysitting by taking care of the younger members of my family, even if I was still a baby then, too! I love babysitting and I’d be more than willing to help out with groceries, chores, drive around the kids, or even help with cooking if needed. I am CPR certified, Stop The Bleed certified, and I recently became a CCMA (certified medical assistant) certified. I’d make sure that your children have a fun (yet safe!) time with me. Thank you for your consideration!

"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)."
