Hi, I’m Schronda, but the children call me Ms. Ro. I have 20+ years of childcare experience, including 15+ years as a preschool teacher. Caring for children is truly my passion, and I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, hands-on learning, music, and age-appropriate activities that support children’s development and independence. I’m also comfortable with meal preparation, bedtime routines, potty training, and maintaining children’s daily routines. I’m currently the primary caregiver for my 15-month-old goddaughter, Amiracle, so I’m especially interested in nanny opportunities with families who may be comfortable with me bringing her along. I also provide small-group childcare and an educational learning environment from my home in the 21229 area, incorporating early literacy, numbers, practical life skills, creative activities, hands-on learning, and outdoor exploration. If your family is open to a small-group home-based setting, I’d be happy to share more about what I offer. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely invested in providing quality care to every child entrusted to me.
“I highly recommend Schronda as a babysitter. She has worked with me in the past and has consistently demonstrated that she is dependable, trustworthy, patient, and caring. Schronda takes her responsibilities seriously and treats children with kindness and respect. She is attentive to their needs, communicates professionally, and helps maintain a safe and positive environment. I would feel confident trusting Schronda to care for children, and I believe she would be an excellent choice for any family seeking a reliable and responsible babysitter.”

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
