Booked by 1 family in The Plains, VA

Hi! My name is Lilah, I’m 20 years old and I’m a responsible, dependable, and caring babysitter who truly loves working with children. I have years of experience caring for infants and toddlers before heading to college, and I enjoy helping kids learn, laugh, and grow in a safe and fun environment. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, and I’m comfortable handling all aspects of childcare — from feedings and bedtime routines to playtime and creative activities. I love doing arts and crafts, reading stories, and helping with early learning games. In addition to childcare, I can also help with: • Housecleaning and light chores • Meal preparation and cooking • Pet care and errands You can count on me to be punctual, patient, and positive. I take pride in keeping a clean, organized space and making sure your children are always safe, happy, and well cared for.

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!

Linda $25 per hour for 1 child

About Linda P. EDIT I have always enjoyed working with children. I started babysitting in junior high and by the time I was in high school I had an afternoon job at a local day care center. I went on to get my teaching degree in Elementary Education and taught five years of third grade and a year of kindergarten. After having three children of my own and taking some time off I went back to teaching but decided to try preschool instead and ended up teaching 8 years of it. After teaching elementary I was surprised at how much I loved working with the little ones. I was the lead teacher for a 3 and 4 year old class for 5 years and my last three years I taught a 5 day a week k-4 position. Over the last 10 years I’ve been doing part-time /full time Nanny jobs. I have worked for over 18 families and have taken care of over 41 children ranging from newborn to 12 years olds. I have enjoyed using my teaching skills and early childhood training to create a loving , nurturing, fun and safe environment for each child I take care of. I appreciate all the opportunities I have had to work with such wonderful parents and their amazing children.

Lhora Brown $20 per hour for 1 child

I have told that I'm really good with kids. I just love being with kids, either working or playing with them. I came from a big family. Taking care people, especially with kids, comes naturally. I used to babysit for my aunts. I am experienced in cooking, cleaning, doing grocery, and other household chores. Although, I am not familiar with infant care, you can trust me in taking care toddlers and older kids. I love doing activities, arts and crafts and even help them with their homeworks if needed. I am currently working in a doctor's office as a medical assistant. I am offering service after work, which is after 5pm until midnight on the weekdays and any time on the weekends.

"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."

"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)."
