“Ethan said, “she was really nice and she was really fun.””
I am a Senior at Shenandoah University, where I play lacrosse and study Psychology, hoping to become a NICU/ pediatric nurse or a speech-language pathologist. I love kids and enjoy being active and being outside as well as cooking and baking. I have been both a nanny and an occasional babysitter for about 5 years. I also have dog sat as well as cat sat. I am also experienced in senior care, as I cared for my grandmother and did 40 hours of clinicals in a senior living center.
My name is Erica. I am 27 years old! I have been babysitting for the past 10 years. I work in Public Affairs and I'm a graduate of the University of Maryland College Park. A little bit of my history, I was a Girl Scout troop leader for middle school aged girls for about a year. I have extensive experience babysitting for neighbors, family friends as well as a family in Silver Spring for occasional date nights. In college, I babysat as part of a carpool for two families in D.C as well as for occassional date nights! I am a non-smoker as well as have a clean driving record. I am comfortable with dogs, I grew up with a boxer. I'm fully vaccinated.
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.”
I have well over 5 years of experience working with youth of all ages as a babysitter, coach, assistant teacher, and through additional childcare roles during college. I have experience tutoring, helping with homework, light cleaning during services, cooking meals, caring for pets, and assisting seniors. I bring both personal and professional caregiving experience. I genuinely love children and believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where they feel supported and valued. I’m flexible, respectful of different parenting styles, adaptable to each family’s needs, and I always bring a positive, caring attitude. I also have experience caring for children with disabilities.
“Tati has been watching my daughter for almost two years now, almost once a month and I trust her completely with my busy 3-year-old. My daughter loves her, which means everything to me. She’s very attentive and careful, especially since my daughter has multiple allergies, and she treats my baby girl like her own. As a girl dad, it’s not easy leaving your child with just anyone but Tati has earned my trust. She’s reliable, honest, and dependable. On a scale of 1–5, I’d give her a 6.”

"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."
