Booked by 9 families in Lanham, MD

Hello, I'm Sharonda! I recently began a doctoral program studying curriculum and instruction. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching English from Trinity Washington University, and love enriching literacy activities that engage learners in a variety of ways. I've tutored, taught, and volunteered with elementary and secondary aged children, locally and internationally, for the past 9 years. I love providing childcare because I find interacting with children to be joyous and rewarding. Children are adventurous, have a great sense of humor, and bring many opportunities for learning and exploration because of their curiosity. As one who is passionate about education, building healthy connections with children is an essential practice. In my spare time, I love creative writing (short stories, essays, and poetry), reading (especially in libraries, boutique bookstores), crafting (jewelry making, drawing/coloring, and DIY projects), spending time outdoors, and occasionally watching television programs about travel and nature (I'm also a Marvel fan). If there is any additional information you'd like to receive, please don't hesitate to request it.

“Sharonda was a wonderful caretaker for my toddler! Incredibly easy to communicate with and she helped my toddler get to bed, even when she’s going through a difficult sleep time. She provided awesome updates of hanging out with my daughter. I look forward to having Sharonda around again! ”

Hello parents, my name is Amira, and I am a 19-year-old college student. I joined Urban Sitter because I truly have a passion for working with kids. In my senior year of high school i spent my time volunteering for the preschool at my school, ages 2-5, and I also have daycare experience working with children as young as 4 months. Over the past few months, I have spent my time babysitting through Care.com for multiple families, and I am looking to gain more experience. I am CPR certified, and I have a valid driver's license. I hope you will consider me as your next sitter!

Hi, I'm Mame, but my family and friends call me Coco — feel free to do the same! I'm a trilingual caregiver based in Washington, DC, fluent in English, French, and Wolof. I am warm, dependable, and genuinely love working with children, seniors, and families. I bring a calm, nurturing energy to every home while keeping things organized and running smoothly. With a background in coordination and management, I am highly responsible, punctual, and great at multitasking. I am fully open to Home Manager roles where I can take ownership of daily household operations including cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands, scheduling, and keeping the home running efficiently so families can focus on what matters most. I am also comfortable with live-in arrangements, overnight stays, sleep-in positions, and overtime hours. I understand that family needs don't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule and I am happy to be flexible and go above and beyond for the right family. Families can count on me to treat their home and loved ones with the utmost care, respect, and professionalism. Whether you need occasional help or a dedicated full-time presence, I am ready to show up and make a real difference for your family.

Hi,My name is Yolanda. I have 8 years child care experience and have worked with kids ages 0-16 years of age.I am First aid and CPR certified. I am fully vaccinated too. I have hands on experience caring for newborns, including feeding, burping, changing diapers, and establishing sleep routines. I’m comfortable preparing bottles, sterilizing equipment, and keeping detailed logs for parents. I also focus on providing a safe, nurturing environment and supporting early development through tummy time and gentle interaction. I’m skilled in recognizing cues for hunger, tiredness, or discomfort and responding quickly with care. Beyond basic needs, I enjoy bonding with babies through gentle play, singing, and reading. My experience with toddlers and children includes guiding them through daily routines, from meals and naps to bath and bedtime. I enjoy planning fun, interactive activities that encourage learning, such as puzzles, sensory play, pretend play, taking walks, the park and reading. I also help with homework and school readiness for older kids. I’m patient, creative, and committed to providing a caring environment that helps children feel secure and grow with confidence. What I love most about Taking care of Kids is that, that’s the only time I can get to be a kid and I believe kids give me new and positive energy everyday. Taking care of kids is the best way to spend my days because kids are pretty awesome, Tiny little humans who are honest, funny, affectionate and help you get out of your head for a while. Taking care of kids gives me more reason to relive my childhood days because In that way I can get to indulge in movies,books and games I loved as a kid growing up and it gives me more practice to prepare myself for handling my own kids someday. I love what I do and perform this job with great dedication, commitment and ambition. I know how important it is to provide kids with individual attention therefore I am happy to spend that time with them. The safety and well being of the kids are my priority and my highest bid. In my spare time I love to read, write, bake, cook, hike, and play sports (Field hockey, swim and volleyball). Taking care of kids is not easy but it is definitely a great experience to share with them. I promise your kids will be in safe hands and have a ton of fun. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for considering my application.

"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."
