Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic college student studying Elementary Education to become a teacher.

I’m CPR certified and lifeguard certified, so safety is always my top priority. I love creating a fun, positive, and supportive environment where kids can thrive.

Camryne 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Essex, MD

I am a fun, caring, and responsible babysitter who enjoys creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for children. I believe kids should be able to have fun while also learning structure, respect, and good behaviour. I am comfortable being strict when needed and setting clear boundaries, while still being patient, supportive, and understanding. I have experience with diaper changing, general childcare, and teaching, and I enjoy helping children learn through age- appropriate activities. I also have experience working with children with autism, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I am dependable, organized, and clean, and I always make sure children are well cared for and their environment stays safe and tidy. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their children feel happy, supported, and comfortable in my care.

“Camryne was fantastic and stepped in on very short notice today when my wife and I had overlapping appointments and needed help with the kids. From the moment she arrived, her positive energy set the tone. She was wonderful, warm, and completely hands-on—she spent the entire time actively playing and interacting with the children. They had an absolute blast with her and loved having her around. If you are looking for reliable, high-energy help at home, Camryne should be at the very top of your list. We cannot recommend her highly enough and would gladly book her again!”

Jenness $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a native Marylander and have lived in Baltimore for a very long time. I love children and have two grown daughters who are the joy of my life. They were only 27 months apart, so life was very busy, especially in their younger years. I babysat all through my middle and high school years before I headed off to college. My personality is warm, friendly, kind and caring. I love to laugh as much as possible!I love being outdoors as much as possible and so enjoy sharing that with children on walks, at the playground and in the back or front yard. I am patient with children and learn quickly how to adapt my “way” with them so they are happy and relaxed. I have a sister who has dementia and I spend a great deal of time with her. I travel to Salisbury, MD to be with her as much as possible. When my mother was ill with cancer, of all my siblings, I lived the closest to my parents and had the honor to care for her in the last six months of her life. I am very comfortable with seniors and very much enjoy sharing time with them. I have had a part time pet sitting business for about eight years. I love all animals - but I’m allergic to cats. Paired with the dog sitting I house sit which is so much fun! I always leave a home better than I found it.

Amore' $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, my name is Amoré. I have a rich background in child care, starting with my role as a lead camp counselor for children ages 2-3 and 3-4. Over the years, I have served as a head infant and toddler teacher in various early childhood learning centers, where I developed and implemented engaging curricula tailored to young minds. Additionally, I have extensive experience nannying for infants and toddlers, often caring for multiple children at once. My approach to child care includes a blend of fun and educational activities, such as sensory play, storytime, and outdoor adventures, which help foster development and creativity. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and am currently looking for a job with a wonderful family. My passion for working with children is evident to everyone who knows me, and I take great pride in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for them.

"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."
