Brandon $10 per hour for 1 child

My name is Brandon. A few years ago, I started my first job working at a Christian daycare in 2013. Since then, I have always tried my best to support and care for my nieces and nephews, learning through every experience. I know I am not the perfect caregiver, and I am not claiming to be the best. I understand that working with children takes patience, understanding, and a willingness to continue learning. My goal is to keep growing my skills so I can better support the next generation and help children discover their strengths. If you are looking for a tutor or mentor who can help children explore technology, design, creativity, and problem-solving skills, I want to be someone who encourages them to discover what they enjoy. Sometimes children just need guidance to find their interests, build confidence, and develop habits that help them succeed. I am always working to improve my teaching abilities. Some people have told me that my teaching skills need more development, and I take that as an opportunity to learn and grow. Through platforms like ADPList, I have had the chance to teach, mentor, and support individuals while continuing to improve my communication and leadership skills. My passion is especially focused on supporting children and individuals with disabilities who may struggle with creative activities or expressing themselves in school. Sometimes they do not need someone to change who they are; they just need someone to help them find their confidence, reconnect with their creativity, and get back into the flow of learning. I believe every person has hidden abilities and talents. My goal is to help students recognize their potential, explore their creativity, and believe that their challenges do not define what they can achieve. Additional Skills & Willingness to Learn - Committed to learning how to properly and safely change diapers. - Willing to help with household cleaning, including washing dishes and keeping shared spaces tidy. - Happy to assist with cleaning up after children, including toys, play areas, and activity spaces. - Able to help with light household tasks that support a safe, clean, and organized environment for children. - Always willing to learn new caregiving skills and follow each family's routines and preferences.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brentwood, MD

Hello! My name is Tania. I have 5+ years of experience caring for children of all ages! Families describe me as reliable, calm, and great with routines. I have worked through care.com & at Loving Care daycare for 3 years as a lead teacher. I’m a creative soul who loves planning arts, crafts, and fun games to keep kids engaged and happy. I'm fully CPR/First Aid certified, ServSafe trained for safe meals, and have a professional background in dentistry, real estate, and social work. So your little ones (and pets!) are in incredibly safe & clean hands. Let's connect!

Tania was absolutely wonderful and took amazing care of my cats while I was away for over two weeks. She visited twice a day without fail, spent time playing with them, cleaned their litter box, and reliably administered medication to one of my cats. She also sent pictures after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away and let me see how the cats were doing. She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and communicative, and she had no trouble navigating my apartment building or getting in and out for each visit. She also kept everything clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, I could tell that she genuinely cared about my cats and went beyond simply stopping by to take care of the essentials. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a clean apartment. I would absolutely recommend Tania to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring cat sitter. I would definitely book her again!

Booked by 1 family in Brentwood, MD

Hi, I’m Karina, a 29-year-old nanny with over nine years of experience caring for children of all ages, including in multi-child households. I’m CPR and First Aid certified (infant included) and currently looking for a full-time nanny position. I’m an active, hands-on caregiver who loves planning fun, engaging activities—like playground trips, playdates, library visits, and more. I believe in the importance of routines and always aim to create a safe, happy, and structured environment for the kids I care for. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with friends and family, skateboarding, exploring new spots, and doing photography. I’d love the chance to support your family and be a positive presence in your child’s life.

Ebony $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ebony! I am offering care for both children and pets. I'm a Native Washingtonian with much experience in childcare. Over the course of 19 years on and off, I have provided care for several families via an agency, and independently for a non-profit organization, events, friends, and family (as the cool auntie). I ran an afterschool program at a local high school during my AmeriCorps term, providing my students a safe environment for enrichment and growth. My late father worked as a teacher's aide at a DC middle school and would take me to work with him. Helping his students was a complex job and I was trusted with it! Having the chance to help children with special needs as a teen taught me how quality care could help a child thrive. That experienced sparked my interest in childcare. Children of all ages deserve safety and attentive care. I bring a positive attitude, creativity, kindness, nurturing, and patience to care I give others. My talents include making still-life drawings with oil pastels. Also, I love animals and have enjoyed pet sitting for friends here and there. Though I am allergic to cats, I adore them and will have my own Zyrtec ready to go for those biscuits. I am open to walking and playing with your animals, no matter the size. I spend my days working part time, volunteering, getting lost in a coloring book, and studying.

"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)."
