Gary 2 reviews
Woodford
$18 per hour for 1 child

First, I have an M.Ed. from the University of Virginia, with a focus on children with disabilities. References, police, and a clear CPS background report are available. I am a fun-loving, easy-going, and active caretaker specifically trained to work with special needs, including ASD, Tourette, ADHD, and similar disabilities. ABA trained, and the father of a child with comparable disabilities who is now a successful adult. Most kids love me and are willing to dive in and have fun. My daughter is a lawyer and teaches ethics, and I am especially adept at taking kids out to the mall, local airport, commuter train to the D.C. museums, or Richmond. I have a commercial CDL with a student endorsement, and we go anywhere we can practice calming and behavior, and have fun in various environments. Swimming pools and lakes are incredibly attractive to kids with ASD and extremely dangerous since most can't swim. I specialize in providing survival swimming at the local YMCA. ( I have a membership, and the crew at Massad Stafford YMCA knows me. I have been active as a Big Brother mentor for almost 14 years, giving back to my community. I love electronics, gadgets, elephants, the Mars Rover, the landscape of Venus, and everything about the James Webb Telescope. Many kids love this stuff, too. Some kids can make their bed with help, and afterward, we can grill a cheese sandwich, read a picture book, or watch a video... but not all day! I have cared for a 7-year-old with comorbidities for almost four years and helped potty-train him. BTW, I currently teach middle school reading, am rarely grouchy, and, as a Gemini, remain in touch with my inner child forever. I have extensive experience helping kids with autism and related needs; I might be able to give you a break from the routine without breaking your budget.

Gary is a wonderful caretaker of our children, including one who has ASD and special needs! We have worked with him for over three years and trust Gary with both our boys, aged 7 and 5. Gary is professional, knowledgeable, very understanding, and kind. We enjoy working with Gary, and he is excellent taking our special needs child to his swimming pool, or out for adventures in FXBG, D.C., Richmond. He has an excellent rating on CheckR, BTW.

Jaylie Louisa
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jay, I'm 26 & a parent to a 6 y/o looking for a new nannying position! I have been a lead pre-toddler teacher at two different centers for about 3 years total & im trying to get back into nannying again. I'm specifically looking for a family who is LGBTQ+ friendly and will not have issues with someone apart of that group. I will not be able to work for anyone who is not ok with that and can't provide a good and safe environment for me to work in. I love babysitting, pet sitting, and also enjoy doing house cleaning work while I'm on the job if needed! As a lead teacher I create weekly lesson plans for my 1-2 y/o kiddos with daily activities made to help their developmental growth by learning through play! If you're interested, I'd love to incorporate that into my job for your little one. I can take kids anywhere they need to be during the day via car as well. I am also CPR, First Aid, and MAT certified. I am looking for full-time hrs & roughly a 8am-5:30 p.m. schedule

Kendyl Palmyra
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kendyl, i’m 18 years old, and I am originally from Southern Maryland. I moved to Fluvanna County in 2021, and graduated from Fluvanna County High School in December, 2023. I have been working in professional childcare since 2022, but have experience outside of a professional setting as well. I have a CPR certification, and a MAT (medication administration training) certification. I’ve also gone through early childhood development training courses. I currently work as a preschool teacher full time, but would like to get a full time nannying job in the near future. I am very creative, outgoing, reliable, and caring. I love to do art with the children, take them on walks, and read them stories! I’m also open to running errands for the family, and doing housework/cooking. I am available all days of the week at any times! I can’t wait to get to know you:)

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
