Natalia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalia. I’m Colombian, 30 years old, and currently live in the Elkridge, Maryland area. I am looking for a full-time nanny position with a family that can offer some flexibility with my school schedule. I have several years of professional childcare experience with children ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I was an au pair in Syracuse, New York, from November 2019 to August 2022, where I cared for two little girls, including the oldest from the time she was just 4 months old. After moving to Maryland, I worked as a full-time nanny from March 2023 to March 2024, caring for a little girl who was also 4 months old when I started. I transitioned from full-time childcare to pursue my legal career in the United States. I currently work as a Paralegal and am pursuing my LL.M. part-time at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. Although I enjoy working in the legal field, I truly miss working with children and would love to find the right family to work with full-time while completing my graduate studies. I am available full-time Monday through Friday, with the exception of Thursday 11am to 1pm due to an in-person class. I am happy to discuss a schedule that works well for both the family and my academic commitment. I consider myself responsible, caring, outgoing, and active. I genuinely enjoy playing with children, planning age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and supporting their development. I am also a native Spanish speaker and would be happy to speak Spanish with your children if your family is interested in bilingual exposure. I have extensive infant and toddler experience, and the safety, happiness, and well-being of the children in my care are always my priority. I am primarily looking for a family in Elkridge, Maryland, or the surrounding areas, and I would love to find a position with a family that values communication, reliability, and a positive relationship with their nanny. Please feel free to reach out if you think we might be a good fit. I would love to hear more about your family and your childcare needs! Natalia P.

Amel $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Amel (uh-mel)! I’m 18 and live in the Laurel/Fulton area. I’m currently attending HCC, where I’m studying pediatric nursing, so working with children is something I’m truly passionate about. I love being around kids and have lots of hands-on experience caring for my younger brother, cousins, and family friends. I’m comfortable caring for children of many different ages, from toddlers to grade-schoolers, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re with me. I’d describe myself as fun, bubbly, loving, and responsible, and I enjoy finding ways to keep kids entertained while also making sure they’re well cared for. Outside of school and babysitting, some of my hobbies include drawing, painting, cooking, gaming, and spending time outdoors. I’d love to bring that creativity and energy into babysitting by doing fun activities, playing games, getting creative, or simply hanging out and making sure your child has a great time while you're away!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
