Hi everyone – My name is Steffy and I am passionate about childcare, and household services. I love being around kids and have always been surrounded by family. As the first grandchild, I grew up taking care of all my younger cousins until they became independent, which gave me valuable experience. I also love cooking, which is my other job, and enjoy preparing meals for families. Caring for others is one of the most important values my parents taught me, and I carry that into my work. I am passionate about organizing and cleaning, which makes me well-suited to handle household tasks and run errands efficiently. I am a big animal lover, having had 3 dogs and 6 turtles, so I’m happy to work with pets as well! Babysitting and caregiving allow me to combine my love for kids, cooking, organizing, and helping others. I look forward to working with your family!
Hello everyone my name is Rian.☺️ I have vast experience working with children of all ages. I am an 1st grade enrichment teacher during the school year, over the past five years I have worked multiple enrichment camps every summer ranging from ages 6-12. I also have experience as a cheerleading coach (all-star/middle school/high school) ages ranging from 3-18. I have a bachelor’s of science in psychology with a focus in child psychology and I’ve also participated in child development programs where I created fun lesson plans and activities for the kids. I pride myself on being kind, patient, attentive, and trustworthy.
Hi, I'm Maddie! I'm a graduate student at UMD and I am currently offering child care services. I love working with and empowering kids and have previously had roles as a summer science camp teacher and summer library staff where I primarily have cared for school-aged children. I love doing crafts, reading, and playing games with kids and I occasionally tutor.
“Maddie is absolutely wonderful! It was her first time meeting my son, who’s on the spectrum, and they connected right away. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with his care. Maddie even handled driving him to and from his ABA therapy, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found her and look forward to having her help again on future dates.”
Hello there! Born in NJ, but from NY, I am a fun, bubbly, outgoing person who enjoys helping children learn and grow. I am a fully licensed and certified Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), with a background in working with children ages birth to school-age through early intervention and within public school systems in DE, MD, and DC. I also have experience in babysitting middle school age kids and toddlers. I enjoy reading, going to concerts, volunteering, hanging with friends, and chatting with my family! I am allergic to cats and dogs. Looking forward to helping you and your child/children!
“Very great with my daughter. Kind friendly and on time. Will definitely book again.”
Hi, I’m Virginia, and I work from home as an HR project manager with my own beagle-Bassett hound as a steady coworker. He’s almost 6 years old (DOB 09/2020) and playful, chill, spunky. My weekly schedule is fairly predictable and flexible so I’m looking forward to being able to help care for your dog, too!
“Virginia is the best! She is so caring and kind with our Cavapoo, Mochi, and gives us complete peace of mind knowing our pup is in such loving and capable hands. We’re so grateful for her!”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
