Ludi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! It’s so nice to meet you. My name is Ludi though everyone calls me Ela. I am currently in my last year of college at Howard University where I am studying Radiation Therapy. I would describe myself as kind, reliable, responsible and energetic which makes taking care of children a responsibility I greatly enjoy. I was born in Eritrea and grew up in Seattle where I enjoyed hiking, going on walks, and visiting some amazing bookshops and cafes. I first starting helping care for children when my sister was born. While I can’t believe that she is nine now (!!!), I have enjoyed helping take care of her since she was born. Since my mother was a contract worker and my father worked doubles, taking care of her was a responsibility I took very seriously and found to be beyond rewarding. The skills and patience I gained when helping her learn to read or understand her frustrations when she couldn’t verbalize them are ones I use now as I study patient care. Since taking care of her, I have been trusted with the care of children of all ages and varying needs. I personally enjoy reading together, going on walks, working through homework, playing games, cooking, and making origami animals with kids. I am very health conscious and have received both Covid shots as well as three boosters along with my yearly flu shot. It is important to me that I develop long lasting, and meaningful connections with families I can provide services to. I can’t wait to meet you!!

Booked by 7 families in Adelphi, MD

I'm a graduate student currently pursuing a master's in social work. I was a sitter and nanny throughout high school and college. More recently I have returned to working in childcare in a more formal setting as I work towards my degree. For the past year, I was a clinical social work intern at an elementary school in Montgomery County, MD providing child play therapy to students ages 5-11 with a variety of support needs. Prior to that, I worked at Horton's Kids, a non-profit in Southeast DC providing after school programming and supports to families in the neighborhood. I assisted with after school enrichment programs and also worked directly with students K-8 on social and emotional learning. I am looking for occasional and part time work and have a flexible schedule, especially on weekends. I am happy to answer any questions and provide references upon request!

“What a Lifesaver! As newbies we were super nervous and really appreciated the quick response for a late night interview on short notice followed by an early morning FaceTime with our 5y.o to prep for after school pick up. Kam took a whole slew of directions with no issue whatsoever. It was pouring so they were stuck indoors but our son was perfectly content kicking it in and made it to Tae Kwon Do on time. We’re all looking forward to booking Kam again!”

Ameerah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ameerah, and I’m a sophomore Philosophy major at Howard University with aspirations of attending law school. I currently work at the Meaningful Futures Organization in Bethesda, Maryland as a camp counselor, working with children with disabilities on Saturdays. I’m looking for more part-time work during the week! I’m 20 years old and have a variety of hobbies, including reading, journaling, painting, and crafting. I’ve had a passion for working with children for years. In high school, I volunteered and worked with kids in several roles: camp counselor, camp volunteer, and camp mentor. My duties included supervising children ages 5-15 during lunch, recess, downtime, and field trips. I also led activities like kickball, arts and crafts lessons, and made sure the younger children took their naps. Additionally, I’ve worked with an after-school program called Better Than Schools as an after-school care teacher. In that role, I supervised field trips, assisted students with homework, led fun and educational house mania activity days, and curated lesson plans to ensure the children were engaged and learning. Growing up in a large family, I often babysat my siblings and cousins, which gave me even more hands-on experience with caring for children. If you have any questions about my experience or qualifications, please feel free to reach out!

Viviana 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a 49-year-old bilingual Spanish-English mother and a legal permanent resident. I hold university degrees from both the United States and abroad, and I bring a fun, calm, and responsible approach to working with children. I have raised three children, now aged 15, 27, and 29. I began babysitting well before becoming a parent, when I cared for my cousin’s baby from six months old for nearly a year while my cousin was undergoing intensive medical treatment. For the past two years, I have cared for toddlers and children through word of mouth, and I am now registering with this platform. I enjoy reading to children, discovering music together, and spending time at the park. I take cues from children and adapt to their interests and play. I am calm and resourceful in emergencies or unexpected situations and use good judgment. In addition to childcare, I also offer: - Driving children and seniors to and from appointments, activities, and errands - Meal preparation - Pet sitting for dogs and cats

“Viviana has cared for our toddler daughter since she was a baby, and we couldn’t be happier. She is loving, fun, and responsible, with excellent judgment. Our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her, and we always feel confident knowing she is in Viviana’s care.”

Lynsara $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m called Lynsara a Bachelors Degree Holder in Banking and Finance but yet a passionate caregiver and one who offers sanitation and household services. I Love standing in for families and Individuals who are either struggling with or have a need for a reliable and trustworthy caregiver for their loved ones. Ever since I was 14, I loved watching after infants and toddlers. As time went on, I’ve grown to enjoy assisting in household tasks which have nurtured my high sense of sanitation and organization skills. My responsibilities have included; cleaning, preparing meals, running errands, dropping off and picking up kids from school, folding and organizing closets, assisting with activities of daily living and hair braiding. Also, I am tech savvy and open to learning new skills which can better help me serve every/ any individual in today’s world. As much as I am comfortable with looking after kids, senior care would be a plus as I have quite greater experience in senior care after having looked after my grandparents and mom for a long time by driving them around, cooking and running errands. Though no particular allergies to pets, I would prefer working for families without any.

"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."

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)."
