Carmen $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Carmen! I’m 22 years old. I was born in Peru and moved to Northern Virginia in 2013. When my mom and I first moved here, we were waiting for our paperwork to be processed and weren’t able to work, so we started babysitting children from our home for families we knew and family friends. Over the years, we cared for children ranging from as young as 3 months old to about 4 years old. We built such wonderful relationships with the children and their families, and we still keep in touch with many of them and even attend their family gatherings. It has been really special to watch the children grow and to remain close with their families throughout the years. Currently, I work as a server at a restaurant, and I really enjoy staying busy, being helpful, and interacting with people. Although I haven’t had professional experience caring for seniors yet, I do have several years of experience caring for young children, which has taught me to be patient, responsible, attentive, and caring. I also have a 5-year-old Shih Tzu who was actually gifted to us by one of those family friends, so she has become a very special part of our family as well! 🐶❤️ I also want to mention that I live a healthy and responsible lifestyle. I do not use drugs or any other substances, and I take my responsibilities and the trust people place in me very seriously. I’m very new to this app, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I’d be happy to tell you more about myself and my experience!

Laura $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Laura, a loving, patient, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver who genuinely loves children. I currently care for a 3-year-old, and I really enjoy being part of his daily routine, playing, reading, preparing meals, and creating fun learning activities. I believe children need patience, attention, affection, and a safe environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also a veterinarian, so I’m very responsible and caring, and I’m comfortable with family pets. I would be happy to care for your child and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

"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

"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)."
