Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Melissa. I’m a caring, positive, responsible, and highly reliable person with over 20 years of babysitting experience and 10 years as a teacher and tutor. I’ve been working for pre-K for FCPS for the past 2 years and have two kids of my own, so I truly understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment. Over the years, I’ve worked with toddlers through middle schoolers, providing everything from tutoring and homework help to school pickups, doctor’s appointments, household support, and errands. I’m a safe and dependable driver, and I always prioritize the well-being and individual needs of each child. As a nanny, I bring strong communication, patience, and flexibility to ensure children feel supported and parents feel confident. My goal is to help every child thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

Booked by 17 families in West Mclean, VA

Hi everyone! My name is Laura, and I’m 31 years old with extensive experience (10 years+) caring for children of different ages. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position with a wonderful family. I’m certified in First Aid and CPR, fully vaccinated (including COVID-19 boosters), and I have a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record. I also have my own reliable vehicle and I’m happy to safely transport children to and from school, activities, appointments, and outings as needed. Beyond providing attentive, loving, and dependable care, I enjoy helping children with homework, preparing simple meals and healthy snacks, planning fun and educational activities, spending time outdoors at parks, doing arts and crafts, reading together, and even teaching Spanish if the family is interested. I strive to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I consider myself active, patient, responsible, organized, resourceful, and cheerful. I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with the families I work with, and I’m proud to have excellent references available upon request. Availability: I’m available to start September 8, with flexibility to begin as early as August 24 if needed. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

Everything went great. She was so great withthe kids.

"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)."
