Hello! I’m Ashley, a senior at Morgan State, majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology. I’ve been babysitting since I was in high school and have worked as an Aftercare Assistant as well as a camp counselor working with toddlers, preschool, kindergarten and 1st graders. My responsibilities were adhering to feeding, playing/interacting with children as well as helping with nap(s). I’m allergic to cats and don’t mind dogs. I’m looking for a summer part time job since I’m home from college for the summer!
My name is Cassia. I have a strong background in education and childcare, with experience working as a teacher in Mexico, Singapore, and the United States. I have worked with children from age 2 through middle school. I am also a mother of two, so I bring both professional and personal experience. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I am responsible, patient, warm, organized, and caring, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where children feel supported. I can also help with pets and provide loving, reliable care for them. I am comfortable supporting elderly adults with kindness, patience, companionship, and respect, always making sure they feel valued and cared for.
I am a part-time college student at the University of Maryland in College Park. I have years of experience working with children as well as engaging with them outside of a professional setting. I have 2 young nieces (10 and 8) whom I often babysit, drive to and from activities, and keep busy at home while my brother is working. My prior babysitting experience also includes neighbors, children of friends and family, and other relatives. I grew up a dancer so as soon as I became old enough, I was student teaching classes for pre-schoolers and eventually taught some classes on my own. I have worked individually and in groups with ages 3-16. I can confidently say I know how to best meet the needs of all ages while maintaining a fun and playful environment.
“Kate started babysitting my son Connor when he was roughly 2 (he’s 6 now) and she is his favorite person. Kate was a student of mine at the dance studio from the time she was 7 or 8, and I watched her grow into an extremely responsible, confident, reliable woman for the last 15 years. I highly recommend Kate as a babysitter, and look forward to the times she is visiting her parents so she can watch my son!”
I am a dedicated educator and parent with 17 years of Elementary teaching experience and a Master’s degree in School Counseling. Over nearly two decades, I have guided children of all ages through their academic, social, and emotional development. My background in school counseling equips me with a deeply empathetic, patient approach, allowing me to connect with children on their level, foster emotional resilience, and tailor activities to their unique learning styles. As a parent of two children of my own, I bring both professional expertise and real-world parenting instincts to every family I support. I understand firsthand the trust it takes to hand off your little ones, as well as the importance of maintaining a safe, calm, and joyful household rhythm. Whether guiding homework, leading creative projects, or facilitating positive play, my goal is to create a warm environment where your child feels heard, confident, and engaged. I am also a big cat lover with three of my own, as well as a snake and hamster as pets! I look forward to partnering with your family!
Hi! My name is Rida, and I have over 5 years of babysitting experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m a patient, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. I love keeping children engaged with arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and homework help when needed. I’m also happy to prepare simple meals, assist with nap time, keep play areas tidy, and help with light household tasks related to the children. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands, and I always prioritize safety, kindness, and open communication. I look forward to supporting your family with dependable, loving care.

"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."
