Booked by 7 families in Capitol Heights, 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!

Hello there! My name is Dunnie and I just might be the perfect candidate for you! I generally love children and I've been looking after them for as long as I can remember, I started out with my siblings, then nieces and nephews and I would look after my neighbors kids for free. I have about 18 years total of which I have almost 14 years paid experience under my belt providing a safe, caring, nurturing and stimulating environment in which children ages infant to teenagers thrived and developed under my care. I have first aid, CPR/child CPR and defensive driving certified, comprehensive background check is up to date and on file and I’m a US citizen. I also have experience working with children with special needs. Im also available to travel domestic or overseas as I’ve done so with my employers in the past.

Booked by 175 families in Capitol Heights, MD

Hi,My name is Yolanda. I have 8 years child care experience and have worked with kids ages 0-16 years of age.I am First aid and CPR certified. I am fully vaccinated too. I have hands on experience caring for newborns, including feeding, burping, changing diapers, and establishing sleep routines. I’m comfortable preparing bottles, sterilizing equipment, and keeping detailed logs for parents. I also focus on providing a safe, nurturing environment and supporting early development through tummy time and gentle interaction. I’m skilled in recognizing cues for hunger, tiredness, or discomfort and responding quickly with care. Beyond basic needs, I enjoy bonding with babies through gentle play, singing, and reading. My experience with toddlers and children includes guiding them through daily routines, from meals and naps to bath and bedtime. I enjoy planning fun, interactive activities that encourage learning, such as puzzles, sensory play, pretend play, taking walks, the park and reading. I also help with homework and school readiness for older kids. I’m patient, creative, and committed to providing a caring environment that helps children feel secure and grow with confidence. What I love most about Taking care of Kids is that, that’s the only time I can get to be a kid and I believe kids give me new and positive energy everyday. Taking care of kids is the best way to spend my days because kids are pretty awesome, Tiny little humans who are honest, funny, affectionate and help you get out of your head for a while. Taking care of kids gives me more reason to relive my childhood days because In that way I can get to indulge in movies,books and games I loved as a kid growing up and it gives me more practice to prepare myself for handling my own kids someday. I love what I do and perform this job with great dedication, commitment and ambition. I know how important it is to provide kids with individual attention therefore I am happy to spend that time with them. The safety and well being of the kids are my priority and my highest bid. In my spare time I love to read, write, bake, cook, hike, and play sports (Field hockey, swim and volleyball). Taking care of kids is not easy but it is definitely a great experience to share with them. I promise your kids will be in safe hands and have a ton of fun. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for considering my application.

Yolanda was very professional and communicative on top of doing a great cleaning job. She paid attention to the little details and made sure everything was up to her high standard of care.

"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)."
