Samreen $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! My name is Summer. I am currently a senior at George Mason University. I am offering child care services for all age groups from infant to school-age. I am pet friendly! I've worked with kids for over 6 years. I took an early childhood program when I was attending high school and I have been in love ever since! After I graduated I worked at various private day schools. I have worked with infants to school-age children. I also have a 4-year-old sister at home who I'm always looking after. I love working with kids. It brings me so much joy to help give them the skills they need to succeed academically and socially!

Hi, I'm Gissell 26yrs old About me: I've been working with kids since 2017 and have over 9 years of experience. In 2023, I worked as a teacher assistant in a preschool, where I learned even more about helping children grow and gained experience working with more than one kid at the same time. I've cared for babies, played with toddlers, and supported older kids too. Skills and Qualifications: I'm certified in CPR and First Aid. I truly care about each child and always try to meet their individual needs. As a nanny, my goal is to give children a warm and caring environment where they can feel happy and confident.

Keloutie $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Savi. I've been a professional nanny for over 20 years, and it's truly been a joy to watch the families I've worked with grow and thrive. I typically join families when their little ones are newborns and stay with them through those precious early years-until they head off to school full time. Saying goodbye is always bittersweet, but I feel lucky to have been part of those foundational years. I'm caring, nurturing, and trustworthy, with a reputation for being exceptionally punctual (and I have excellent references to back that up!). I'm currently looking for a full-time position (around 45-50 hours per week) with a family who will welcome me as a valued part of their lives. If you're looking for a dependable, experienced nanny to support your family's daily routine, I'd love to connect. I'm happy to share my resume and answer any questions you may have. Thank you so much!

"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)."
