Laila 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
$25 per hour for 1 child
I am 24 years old. I am excellent with kids. I have been working with kids for 10+ years. I started working with kids as a volunteer at a private school in Rockville when I was a teenager. And since then I’ve really enjoyed working with kids. I love music, food, video games, road trips, traveling, etc. I love to collect stuffed animals & I love to cook. I’ve recently taken up tennis as a hobby.
“I worked with Laila in an after-school program, and she was always reliable, caring, and great with the kids. She was patient, professional, and did a great job keeping the children engaged while making sure they were safe and following their routines. She worked well with both the kids and the staff, and you could tell she genuinely cared about the children she was working with. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and dependable babysitter.”

Hazel $17 per hour for 1 child
I am a senior in high school with a strong passion for working with children. I have taken a Child Development class for two years, where I have learned a lot about child growth and care. Through this class and other experiences, I have worked with children as young as three years old up to almost five-year-olds. I truly enjoy engaging with kids. I love playing with them, talking to them, and creating fun. In addition, I am actively involved at my church every Sunday, where I work with children aged 5 to 10. I help supervise activities, play with them, and encourage positive interaction. I also have experience caring for animals. I have three dogs that I have cared for over the past four years, and I also offer dog-walking services. This experience has taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness qualities I bring to all childcare responsibilities. Overall, my experience with children and animals has given me the skills to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for any child.

"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."
