Hi Families! I'm Mischa-Paige, a Newborn Care Specialist, Nanny and House Manager, as well as a proud volunteer for the International Nanny Association. With over five years of experience—four of those in full-time roles — I’ve had the privilege of caring for children ranging from 6 months to 13 years old. Before starting my career in childcare, I worked as a Marketing Coordinator for a Children’s Charity Organization, which gave me a strong foundation in both communication and compassion. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with many amazing families, providing not just childcare but also emotional support to children, parents, and even pets! Making your life a little easier and your home happier is what I’m truly passionate about, and I’m excited about the opportunity to work with you! Please note: My listed rate is for evening child sitting; I charge a different rate for mornings and afternoons. Thank you for understanding! 😊

Booked by 2 families in Potomac, MD

Hi! My name is Summer, and I'm a dedicated professional nanny with over 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I'm also a proud mom to a 15-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. When my son was in preschool , I also worked as a substitute one day a week, further deepening my passion for early childhood education. I'm currently seeking a loving family to grow with-one where I can build a lasting, trusting relationship and contribute to a nurturing, enriching environment for their children. I offer much more than childcare: I support families by handling meal prep, children's laundry, light housekeeping, pick-ups and drop-offs, and any day-to-day kid-related tasks. I especially enjoy planning fun adventures and outings that keep little ones engaged, active, and happy.

Booked by 11 families in Potomac, MD

I love taking care of kids and this job made me realize that I wanted to be a preschool teacher that’s why I’m starting Early childhood and special needs this coming spring. I started babysitting back in my country (Argentina) since I was 18 years old where I took care of a 4 year old for 5 years. During those years I worked in a school as a catechist with ages from 3 years old to 12. I was also in a church group being in charge of teenagers. When I moved to USA to be an au pair I took care of 3 siblings (3,5 and 7 yo). Now I’m working with a family with 4 boys where the youngest is 10 months old (I started taking care of him when he was 6 months). That’s why I can say that I have experience with all the ages. Last but not least, I consider myself a patient, caring, respectful, responsible and enthusiastic nanny who you can trust your 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."
