Hi, families. My name is Diya, and I am an incoming sophomore attending the University of Maryland. I am so excited to get to know, meet, and spend time with your family. I love bonding with children, especially with new, creative, and engaging activities that keep them stimulated and having a good time. I have worked at many children's tutoring services, all throughout high school, where I was exposed to various personalities and energy levels among children. I have also spent many years babysitting for my community when parents go out for date nights or other leisure activities. I also have interned at many pediatric dental clinics, as I am a pre-dental student so I have skills on working with any anxiety children may have in uncomfotable situations. Lastly, I have worked in daycares and summer camps with large groups of children over the summers. I am also able to do household services such as laundry, dishes, and cleaning the house. I have a large dog, so I would also be able to take care of any pets based on your requests. I am also CPR and AED certified to ensure that you feel safe leaving your child with me.
Hi! My name is Cassey. I’ve been supporting little ones along their developmental journey for almost seven years through two full-time nanny positions, along with experience as a lead 2’s teacher. I’m currently with one of my nanny families going on our fourth year together, and while I remain committed to them, I’m looking to pick up some additional part-time hours while their kiddo is in school. They are fully supportive and flexible with my schedule, and they would be more than happy to be contacted as a reference. I'm hoping to find some day time hours between 9:30am and 5pm one or multiple days a week. I’m also enrolled in online classes pursuing a degree in Social Work. My dream is to work with children in the foster care system—helping them find loving, safe homes and being a warm, steady, positive presence in their lives.
Growing up with multiple yellow labs and now having a labrador mix of my own has made me a dog lover for life. I love walks, play time in the yard, or just lounging around with a friend! Experienced in administering medications and caring for dogs of all ages.
I am a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with extensive experience working with children of all ages. Having worked in professional caregiving facilities with children 9 months - 5 years old, I have honed my skills in creating a safe, fun, and educational environment for young children. My background in child development education ensures that I understand the unique needs and developmental stages of young children. I have extensive work experience with children that have behaviors and mental health concerns building relationships and ensuring everyone is safe. Additionally, I have hands-on experience caring for my own nieces and nephews, further enhancing my ability to provide loving and reliable care. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and well-being. I have a natural calming energy that loves to be creative, active, and goofy at times all while ensuring those around me are safe and knowing they are accepted and cared for.
“Amazing job taking care of my beautiful baby girl! Please book her!”
My name is Sparkle. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Texas with my family in 2014, where I completed my high school education. I currently own and operate my own hair business, which provides me with steady income and the flexibility to spend my time doing what I truly love—caring for others. Caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, having grown up surrounded by childcare from a very young age. My mother worked for a child care, and I often accompanied her to work, where I was able to observe loving, professional childcare environments and connect with children regularly. I also helped care for younger siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and I have lovingly supported family and friends by babysitting their children over the years. Many of my close friends are parents, and I have been present in their children’s lives from birth, watching them grow and supporting them along the way. I also have experience providing compassionate care for seniors. Caring for my grandfather during hospice was a deeply meaningful experience that strengthened my patience, empathy, and emotional awareness. It taught me how important gentleness, dignity, and presence are when supporting someone through vulnerable moments. In addition, I have a lifelong background in pet care, having grown up with dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and offering pets the attentive, loving care they deserve. At my core, I am a deeply caring and attentive person. I am patient, kind, loving, and warm-hearted, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where others feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.

"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."
