Christina College Park
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Christina, and I was formerly on the Women"s Basketball team at Maryland this past year. I will not be playing due to no more years of eligibility, but I am graduating in December with my Economics Degree. In August, I worked as a substitute teacher at a daycare from 9-5. While working at the day care, I worked with Infants to school-age kids (oldest being 11). I am originally from New Jersey and have two older sisters that lives in Wheaton and Brooklyn, New York. I love kids (especially babies), animals (preferably dogs but can work with cats), and just helping others. I am leaving to play overseas in January (anywhere in the world, I don't know yet), so I am looking for a job that is really flexible with me as my schedule can change a little (class, coaching, and practice). I am willing to discuss solidifying a schedule that is consistent for the remainder of the year! Look forward to speaking to you and helping out!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
