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.

Miracle 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Odenton, 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! ”

Hi Am Nathalie. I am an Older sister of three sisters and the first child to my parents. I usually take care of my siblings like every siblings should. I also usually take care of my nieces and nephews from my older cousin's when they decide to crash at our place. I recently turned 18 by the way. I am friendly and pretty quiet as I love listening to the kids play and talk. I also love playing with them and well since I've practically changed a lot of nappies so nothing is really new to me. I'll be more than ready to adapt and learn any given rule you I ought to know inorder to watch your cuties😊.
