Afua $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Afua! and I’ve been working with children for over five years. I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. I currently work as a hospital technician, so I’m medically trained and confident handling any health or safety concerns that may come up. I have experience caring for children with autism as well as older adults with dementia and other cognitive challenges, so I’m patient, understanding, and attentive to individual needs. At my church, I serve as a toddler coordinator, where I plan and lead activities that keep little ones engaged and excited to learn, which means I’m great at organizing fun, creative ways to spend time with kids of all ages. I’m also very active and love staying on the move, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or keeping up with energetic toddlers. My goal is to make sure your children feel happy, supported, and safe while having a great time. Your kids will be in caring and capable hands with me, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you have!

Mariatu $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Somerville, VA

My name is Mariatu, and I am 20 years old. I have been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) since I was 19 years old, beginning in 2024. Working as a CNA has given me valuable hands-on experience in patient care, responsibility, and compassion. In this role, I assist patients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility support. I also monitor vital signs and provide emotional support to patients and their families. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to remain calm in challenging situations. Although I truly value my experience in healthcare, I am currently looking to transition into a nanny position. I enjoy caring for others, especially children, and I believe my background as a CNA has prepared me well for this role. Being a nanny requires attentiveness, reliability, and a nurturing personality—qualities I have developed through my professional experience. I understand the importance of safety, structure, and creating a positive environment where children can learn and grow. I am responsible, trustworthy, and committed to supporting families in a meaningful way. In addition, I am preparing to enter nursing school to further my education and advance my career in healthcare. Becoming a registered nurse has been a long-term goal of mine, and I am dedicated to working hard to achieve it. My experiences as a CNA and my interest in working as a nanny both reflect my passion for caring for others and making a difference in people’s lives. I am motivated, compassionate, and eager to continue growing both personally and professionally.

Laura $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Laura, a loving, patient, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver who genuinely loves children. I currently care for a 3-year-old, and I really enjoy being part of his daily routine, playing, reading, preparing meals, and creating fun learning activities. I believe children need patience, attention, affection, and a safe environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also a veterinarian, so I’m very responsible and caring, and I’m comfortable with family pets. I would be happy to care for your child and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

"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."
