$19 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Diana! I’m a full-time college student that is home for the summer. I have experience working with elementary-aged kids through tutoring and after-school care, and I’ve also babysat my younger siblings and cousins. I’m am comfortable with diaper changes, meal prep, light laundry, and helping kids with homework and crafts. I always strive to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel supported and parents can feel confident and at ease.
“Compassionate and Dutiful. Strongly recommend her with enthusiasm.”
Jannine $18 per hour for 1 child
Hello! 😊 My name is Jannine and I have over 10 years of experience helping families with children of varying ages, from infants to older children, along with just general experience from being the oldest in my family. I come from a healthcare and research background, with experience working in the Emergency Department as a scribe and even vaccinating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm working towards my goal of attending medical school, and babysitting is a wonderful opportunity to continue supporting children and families while saving for this next chapter. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs from having worked as a behavioral therapist for kids with Autism. I have also looked after a child with epilepsy with a past family that I babysat for during evenings and weekends. Lastly, I have experience with pets as I am a Wag! petsitter and dogwalker in my free time. I am happy to take care of any children, furry or human 😉 I'm excited to connect with families looking for a reliable sitter who will treat their little ones with kindness and care! I look forward to meeting you! 💛

Booked by 1 family in Arbutus, MD
Hi, I’m Miracle! I’m a nanny and Newborn Care Specialist with years of experience caring for babies, toddlers, and older kids. Caring for children comes naturally to me, it’s truly what I love most. I first started working with kids in Nigeria as a preschool teacher and nanny, and since moving to the U.S., I’ve had the joy of helping families welcome their little ones and adjust to those first precious weeks and beyond. I’m confident with everything from diapers, bottles, and soothing to healthy sleep routines and creating a calm, loving space for both baby and parents. I’m currently a nanny for a wonderful family Monday–Friday, 11am–6pm, but I also make time for families who need extra support. I’m available for date nights, early mornings, overnights, and regular weekend care. Families often say I bring a calming presence and that I treat their kids like my own. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and love bringing both care and joy into children’s routines. I’m excited to meet more families through UrbanSitter and would love the chance to support yours.
“Miracle was so lovely! Communicated well, responded promptly to a last minute request and kept my daughter entertained in a small hotel room. My daughter immediately sat down next to her and I could leave swiftly feeling comfortable that everything was under control and that my daughter was in good hands. Much gratitude to Miracle! ”

Before nursing, I spent more than 3 years as a daycare teacher, primarily working with infants ages 8 weeks to 1 year, and frequently assisting in classrooms with children ages 3-5. I was well known in the daycare center for Craft Days with Ms. Sam. I am calm, attentive, and genuinely love supporting children's growth and routines, while always prioritizing safety, comfort and fun!

"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."
