Jenifer $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jenifer, I’m 22 years old, and I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I’m currently a phlebotomy student and have hands on healthcare training, which has taught me the importance of patience, safety, communication, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I’m also CPR certified and have basic medical and first-aid knowledge, so your child’s safety will always be one of my top priorities. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable creating a positive environment where children can feel safe and be themselves. Whether that means playing games, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, keeping up with routines, or just being someone they feel comfortable around, I’m happy to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I would love the opportunity to become a reliable and trusted sitter for your family!

Eva $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Potomac, MD

I am an 18 year old student with a part time remote job and a hardworking mindset. While living with my family, both of my parents worked full time, which meant I learned to cook, clean, and take care of my two younger brothers from age 10. I cannot get on with my day unless I am in a clean space. I enjoy cooking and a healthy lifestyle, and in my free time read, play the violin, go on walks, and converse with any adults around me. My mother also owns a music studio (piano & vocal), and I am always around kids, whether tutoring or taking care of them.

"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."
