Hi there! I am a mom of two children living in the DMV area. I have been caregiving for years prior to having children of my own and truly enjoy caring for little people.
“India was fantastic! ”
Hi! My name is Brianca, I am a college student. It is summer break right now. I am here to care for your children during the week. Depending on your schedule I am flexible when school begins again!! I started working with children at a very young age because I love kids. I took a child development class in high school which taught me foundational knowledge about children at a young age. This also allowed me to work face to face with children everyday. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and young children. I am also a graduate student at my university. I specialize in creating, engaging and educational activities while advancing problem solving skills and multitasking skills.
“Brianca is wonderful! Extremely caring and responsible. ”
Hello! My name is Adetomilola, but many people call me Angie. I am 23 years old and a student at the University of Maryland, College Park pursuing a degree in information science. In my free time I like to sing, watch movies, and read. I love taking care of infants, toddlers, and young children. It's amazing to see how they grow and develop into who they are meant to be. I value being able to have a positive impact on them by providing kind and loving care and by keeping them engaged throughout the day. I have 6 nieces and nephews ranging from the age of 3 months to 8 years old, and I have had a hand in the care of every one of them. I have also provided childcare for numerous family friends, members of my community, and extended family. Recently, I have been assisting a family with caring for their 2 year old and 5 month old. That includes changing diapers, preparing meals, light housekeeping, bathing, nap times, and other parts of their routine. I am a stickler for cleanliness and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for your children. I treat every child with the same love and attention that I would give my family. I am new to this platform, but I’m so excited to get to work. I hope I get to meet your family soon!
“Very responsive, and handled our two kids excellently well and with care. Definitely recommend.”
Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 39 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.
Hi, my name is Amaya! I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist currently working with children in the school setting. During the summer, I have additional availability and would love the opportunity to support families who need dependable childcare. Working with children is truly my passion. In addition to my professional experience as an SLP, I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters and many younger cousins as I am the first born grandchild on both parents sides. My father also owns a daycare, where I gained valuable hands-on experience working with children of various ages. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to connect with kids in a fun and supportive way. I am reliable, flexible, and happy to help with whatever your family needs-whether that's engaging in play, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, bedtime routines, transportation, or creating enriching activities. My background in child development and communication allows me to support children of all abilities while creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I would love the opportunity to build lasting relationships with families, not just for the summer but in the future as well. Thank you for considering me, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Amaya was on time, communicative, flexible and the kids were happy and well upon our return. Will invite her back. ”

"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."
