MARIYAH $15 per hour for 1 child

My earliest childcare experience comes from assisting my mother in her daycare, where I helped care for children of different ages on a daily basis. My responsibilities included supervising playtime, supporting learning activities, helping with meals and routines, maintaining a safe environment, and ensuring children were engaged in positive, age-appropriate activities. This experience taught me patience, responsibility, consistency, and how to manage multiple children while maintaining safety and structure. In addition to daycare experience, I have volunteered with Special Reach, an organization that supports children with disabilities. Through this work, I gained valuable experience working with children with diverse physical, developmental, and emotional needs. This taught me how to adapt my communication style, be more attentive to individual needs, and provide a calm, supportive, and encouraging environment where every child feels included and understood. I am currently a college student at Morgan State University majoring in Sports Administration and I am also a collegiate athlete. My experience as a student-athlete has strengthened my leadership, discipline, teamwork, time management, and ability to perform in fast-paced environments. I understand responsibility and accountability, especially when managing schedules, academics, athletics, and work simultaneously. Overall, I am reliable, patient, and highly motivated to work with children. I enjoy creating fun, structured, and safe environments where kids can learn, play, and grow. I am comfortable with children of all ages, including those with special needs, and I am committed to providing trustworthy, high-quality care for families.

Raquel $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Essex, MD

Im from a very large family & started care taking for my grandmother and babysitting family members/ family friends children at a very young age so I love to be around children! I just recently completed my Bachelors my degree in Sociology and currently work with the elderly and those with mental and physical disabilities . I have years of experience as a professional nanny caring for children ages 6 months-13 yrs. I am reliable, attentive, and observant. Safety is my number one objective! Keeping children safe involves a lot of supervision, and that is one of my strongest areas. I have my own, reliable vehicle. Education is very important to me and I believe setting aside some time during the day for educational exercises or school work is vital to the growth and well being of a child. I can assist with class projects and homework assignments. I am willing to keep your children entertained with fun outdoor activities, such as, zoo, museum and park visits. I know children can have a hard time with new people while mommy and daddy are away but I'm also great at board games, arts & crafts ,hide and seek etc

Hello! My name is Julie, and I am offering childcare services. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology, 90-hour early childhood certification and 45-hour infant and toddler certification. I have many years experience working with children in a variety of settings: nanny, preschool teacher, child development educator and homeschool teacher. I have spent the last 6+ years as a teacher/director at a private school. I love working with children of all ages. I believe in patience and kindness, and just being silly and having fun. I like staying active, doing projects and activities based on the child’s development. I am pretty easygoing, respecting the child’s needs above all else.

Ariel $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Ariel and I'm currently a junior pursuing a biology degree. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 17 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I can’t wait to meet you! Also, I am new to this app, so I know when reviewing my application, you’re likely to overlook me; although I have plenty of experience with other sitting platforms. All I ask, is you take a chance on me. I would be very open to a conversation as well to answer any questions.

"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."
