Miracle 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Riva, MD

Hi, I’m Miracle! I’m a nanny and Newborn Care Specialist with years of experience caring for babies, toddlers, and older kids. Caring for children comes naturally to me, it’s truly what I love most. I first started working with kids in Nigeria as a preschool teacher and nanny, and since moving to the U.S., I’ve had the joy of helping families welcome their little ones and adjust to those first precious weeks and beyond. I’m confident with everything from diapers, bottles, and soothing to healthy sleep routines and creating a calm, loving space for both baby and parents. I’m currently a nanny for a wonderful family Monday–Friday, 11am–6pm, but I also make time for families who need extra support. I’m available for date nights, early mornings, overnights, and regular weekend care. Families often say I bring a calming presence and that I treat their kids like my own. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and love bringing both care and joy into children’s routines. I’m excited to meet more families through UrbanSitter and would love the chance to support yours.

“Miracle was so lovely! Communicated well, responded promptly to a last minute request and kept my daughter entertained in a small hotel room. My daughter immediately sat down next to her and I could leave swiftly feeling comfortable that everything was under control and that my daughter was in good hands. Much gratitude to Miracle! ”

bernice $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Bernice and I am 25 years old. I am from San Antonio Texas but moved here because of the Army. I have been in for 7 years, but my job is currently at a clinic 4 days a week. I’m looking for a side job for occasions and weekends. I can drive and have a Toyota Corolla cross, but I have no car seats. I was a sitter for 2 families during COVID and did weekend and even baby sitting at my old duty station. My experience with these families was amazing because I got to help kids become active and enjoy being creative. I have experience with special needs children, helping with homework, and creating planning parties and hosting activities. One of my families that I baby sat weekly had 3 kids ages 2, 4, and 8. I have worked in the medical field for 7 years and have my CPR and first aid certificate that I must re-certify for every two years. Currently, I am in college and need 7 more classes to finish my bachelors degree in health sciences.

Booked by 1 family in Riva, MD

Hi! My name is Talia, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, along with my CDA Pre-K Certification, Infant and Toddler Certification, and many other certifications related to childcare and development. I have hands-on experience as a nanny, homeschool support, and have also worked as both an infant teacher and a Pre-K teacher. Working with children truly brings me so much joy, it’s such a beautiful experience being part of their growth, imagination, and everyday little moments. I’m very fun, patient, and bubbly, and I love creating engaging days filled with play, learning, creativity, and lots of positive energy. I enjoy building genuine connections with families and children ensuring that they feel happy, safe, and excited throughout our time together. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal prepping to help support your home and daily routine. I’m currently open to short-term and occasional care and would love to bring that same warmth and energy to your family!
