Booked by 2 families in Bethesda, MD

Hi! I’m Luzma, a nanny with 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to young kids. I’ve worked with different families, caring for 1 to 3 children at a time, and I absolutely love making their days fun, safe, and full of learning. I naturally weave Spanish into daily routines, so kids can pick it up while playing, singing, and exploring. My goal is always to create a happy, nurturing space where children feel loved, confident, and ready to thrive!

Hi! My name is Bolu and I’m currently a sophomore at GWU. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with and have been helping kids ever since I was 10 years old. My responsibilities have included teaching basic math, language, and hygiene skills; tutoring, crafts, and homework help.

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!

isabela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, I'm an experienced nanny with over five years of hands on childcare experience, working with children from newborns to teenagers. I've supported families with different routines, parenting styles, and household needs, and I know how important consistency and reliability are in this role. I'm proactive, organized, and confident in managing day to day care. I'm comfortable handling feeding schedules, sleep routines, school pick ups, homework support, light household tasks related to the children, and planning activities that keep kids engaged and learning. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and understood. I take initiative, communicate clearly, and show up fully prepared every day. If you're looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely committed to quality care, I'd be happy to connect.

"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)."
