Hi my name is Mya! I’m 18 years old i’m a student at CCBC in early childhood education. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services.

Booked by 1 family in Ellicott City, MD

Caring for children has always felt natural to me it’s something that truly fills my heart. I love creating moments where kids can laugh, learn, and just be themselves. Whether we’re playing outside, doing something creative, or winding down with a story or a board game, I try to make every interaction meaningful and fun. I like keeping open communication with parents and making sure everyone feels comfortable and connected. I’m also happy to lend a hand around the house, help with meals, or supervise swimming when needed. Being part of a child’s growth and helping them feel safe and supported is what brings me the most joy.

Kate $23 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, trustworthy, and energetic babysitter with over 5 years of paid childcare experience and nearly a decade of caring for younger family members. My childcare journey started early, helping out with little cousins and siblings, and it naturally grew into something I truly love doing supporting families and creating safe, happy spaces for kids to thrive. As a current college student, I balance professionalism with a youthful, engaging personality that kids connect with. I understand that every child is unique, so I adapt quickly to their needs whether that means being patient with a shy toddler, helping a school-aged child with homework, or organizing creative games and activities to keep little ones entertained and learning. Parents who have worked with me describe me as dependable, responsible, and nurturing. I always prioritize safety while ensuring that children feel comfortable, cared for, and respected. I believe babysitting is more than just supervision it’s about building trust, supporting development, and giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands. Some highlights of what I bring: • Experience with all ages: infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. • Safety-minded care: I am attentive, reliable, and know how to keep children safe while encouraging independence. • Engaging personality: I love arts and crafts, reading stories, playing games, exploring outdoors, and finding age-appropriate activities that spark creativity and joy. • Support for parents: I’m happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, homework. At the heart of everything I do is my genuine love for children and my respect for the trust families place in me. My goal is always to make sure your child feels safe, happy, and cared for while also helping your household run smoothly. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and committed to providing excellent care, I’d love the opportunity to support your family.

"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."
