Kaitlin $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaitlin, and I have over 3 years of experience working in daycares and public schools with children of all ages. I’ve worked in every classroom a daycare provides, with most of my experience focused on infants and toddlers. I’m CPR certified and have completed my 90-hour childcare certifications, so safety and quality care are always my priority. Outside of childcare, I was a dancer for 15+ years and love creative activities like reading and drawing. I’m currently in college studying Deaf Studies and Psychology, and I know intermediate ASL. I’m also happy to help with homework or simply be a supportive study partner for children who need encouragement while learning. I’m patient, caring, creative, and passionate about helping children grow in a safe and positive environment!

Talia $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Essex, MD

Hi, I’m Talia — a warm, experienced, and dependable full-time nanny specializing in infants through preschool-aged children. With a background in early childhood and special education, I bring the perfect blend of nurturing care, structure, and developmentally appropriate learning to every child I work with. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and engaged. Whether I’m supporting tummy time, early literacy, potty training, social-emotional skills, or building daily routines, I always meet children where they are and help them grow confidently. Families describe me as patient, creative, consistent, and genuinely loving. I keep communication clear, provide daily updates, and treat every child with the level of care I’d want for my own. I am available for full-time care either in your home or through drop-off care in mine, with a maximum of two children per day to ensure full attention and quality care. If you’re looking for a reliable nanny who brings peace of mind, structure, and joy into your child’s day, I’d love to connect with you.

"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."
