Kayla $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating safe, positive environments for children and families. I have experience working with children through my background as a Child and Youth Program Assistant, where I helped supervise activities, support daily routines, encourage positive behavior, and create a welcoming space for kids of different ages and personalities. I’m someone who understands the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for children. I always strive to make kids feel comfortable, supported, and heard while also making sure parents feel confident and at ease. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, reading, and helping with homework or routines when needed. Families would describe me as calm, attentive, organized, and reliable. I’m very patient, adaptable, and able to stay positive even during busy or stressful moments. I believe every child deserves kindness, encouragement, and a safe environment where they can feel happy and secure. In addition to childcare experience, I also have a background in administrative and support roles, which has helped me develop strong communication, responsibility, and time management skills. I take pride in being dependable, respectful, and someone families can trust. I’m currently continuing my professional growth and working toward building a stable and meaningful career centered around helping others. Whether you need assistance with childcare, supervision, routines, light household support, or simply someone who genuinely cares, I would love the opportunity to help support your family. I look forward to connecting with you!

Phindi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Phindi (the ‘H’ is silent), I'm a dependable, patient, and caring caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged children. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. In addition to raising my own child, I have cared for my grandmother, assisting with companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and daily living tasks. This experience strengthened my compassion, patience, and ability to provide attentive care to people of all ages. I also have experience with house sitting and can assist with light housekeeping, laundry, meal and snack preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, organizing, pet care, and keeping the home tidy while you're away. I enjoy reading with children, arts and crafts, educational activities, outdoor play, and helping them reach developmental milestones in a fun and positive way. I often volunteer at my child's school during book fairs and other school events, where I work with students, teachers, and families. I am also pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Cloud and Information Technology, which has strengthened my organization, communication, and problem-solving skills. Families can count on me to be reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing compassionate, dependable care and treating every child and home with the same respect and attention I would give my own.

Booked by 2 families in La Plata, MD

My name is Ashley, and I’m 34 years old. I have five years of experience working at a daycare, where I cared for children of all ages. Even before that, my passion for childcare began in my teenage years—I regularly babysat for neighbors, my mom’s friends, and of course, my own younger siblings. Coming from a big family, I naturally took on the role of caregiver, which sparked my love for working with children.

"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."
