Alicia $18 per hour for 1 child

Perfect! Based on that, here’s a draft introduction for your UrbanSitter profile: ⸻ Hello! I’m [AliciA], originally from Kingston, Jamaica, but living in sliver springs Aspenhill area now and I bring a warm Caribbean spirit to everything I do. I’m a certified CNA with extensive experience working with special needs children as well as typically developing kids. Back in Jamaica, I was a preschool teacher and I also work as a nurse, so I bring both professional and nurturing care. I love reading, music, and, most importantly, spending time with children. Their laughter, curiosity, and innocent charm are truly special to me. I’m also a proud mom of two, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. I look forward to caring for your little ones! ⸻ Feel free to tweak it or let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to add!

Holly $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am on my third year as a full time elementary school art teacher for AACPS. I teach PreK-5th, though I teach primarily 3rd grade and under. I’m creative and fun. I love working with kids! Before working at AACPS, I worked at a private special education school for two years so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of personalities. I have a BFA in Painting and currently I am working on my teaching license since I am a conditional hire. Before teaching, I worked at M&T bank for two years but I left because banking is not really for me. I am a sensitive and creative soul. Selling credit cards and home equities was not bringing me joy. I am happy to say I have found a lot of fulfillment in working with my students. I also am a huge animal lover! I was a dog walker and animal care taker for Unleashed Baltimore for two years as well. I walked and cared for mostly cats and dogs, but there were a couple birds on the client roster.

I am responsible, patient, caring, and always focused on creating a safe and positive environment for children. My experience includes diaper changes, feeding, preparing meals, driving children to activities, organizing arts and crafts, helping with homework and tutoring, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I speak both Spanish and English, and I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide your children with attentive, loving, and reliable care.

Hi families! I’m Sarah, a Drexel grad in Child & Family Psychology with experience as a behavior technician, nanny, and au pair. I’ve worked closely with children with autism, ADD, and Asperger’s, so I bring lots of patience, understanding, and structure. I’m bubbly, creative, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities, cooking, and learning through play. I’m great with routines, helping little ones feel safe and confident, and supporting busy households with pets and light home help too.

"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)."
