Noor $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Noor — Your Family’s Extra Helping Hand! 💛 I’m originally from the Middle East. I’m fluent in Arabic and English and have about 3 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers in a daycare, along with experience with older children. I’m also a mom to an 8-year-old daughter, so caring for kids is something I truly enjoy! I’m comfortable with children of all ages and love creating a fun, safe, and welcoming environment. Whether it’s a trip to the park or fun at home with baking, painting, board games, crafts, costumes, and pretend play, I always try to make their time enjoyable. I can also help elementary-age children with homework and tutoring. And I love cooking! My favorite dish is lasagna, and I’d be happy to prepare meals or even teach kids how to make fun, simple foods like homemade mini pizzas. 🐶 Pet & Senior Care: I also provide dog sitting and walking and am comfortable with all dog breeds, so I’m happy to help with your furry family members too! 👵🏻 Senior care: Both of my senior parents live with me, and caring for them brings me a lot of peace and joy. I’m comfortable helping seniors with companionship, cooking, driving to appointments or errands, cleaning, and everyday tasks. 🏡 Household Help: I’m also happy to help with cleaning, organizing, laundry, cooking, and running errands. I can bring my own cleaning supplies when needed, although I prefer to use the supplies you already have. I’m a warm, patient, dependable, and caring person, and I genuinely love helping families. Whether you need childcare, senior care, pet care, or an extra hand around the house, I’m happy to help wherever I’m needed! Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction. I look forward to meeting you and your family and hopefully becoming someone you can rely on! 💕

Nana $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nana, and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman at Bowie State University majoring in Nursing. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I have three younger siblings, and I've been helping raise and babysit them since they were born. Being responsible for them taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for children of different ages. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in nursing and made me realize how much I enjoy helping families. I'm experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I'm also happy to prepare simple meals, help with bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping play areas clean and organized. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I understand the importance of creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I'm excited to help families by providing reliable childcare while building meaningful relationships with both parents and their children.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jessup, 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! ”
