Booked by 13 families in Capitol Heights, MD

Hello! I've successfully raised two sons who are now self-sufficient young adults. I adore children of all ages. I conduct legal background checks on caregivers, tutors, coaches, and anyone else with whom your child interacts. I am also adept at (and enjoy!) organizing homes and offices, And I teach teens to drive. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, and a graduate certificate from Cornell University in the Psychology of Leadership. I have a spotless driving record; no criminal history; and I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid. For the past twenty years, I've been fortunate to own and run a firm that places a premium on ethics, discretion, tact, and confidentiality. I'm embarking on a career pivot that will include graduate work in child and adolescent psychology. I relied on my nanny when I was working full-time, and I trusted her implicitly. I hope to earn your trust and give you hard-working parents the break you deserve!

Cristina is an exceptional organizing expert who transformed a daunting move-in situation into a manageable task in just one afternoon. With her professionalism, punctuality, clear communication, cheerful demeanor, and creative problem-solving skills, she tackled every space challenge with ease, finding smart solutions that I hadn’t considered. Her efficiency and positive energy made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Cristina’s expertise and attention to detail turned a potentially overwhelming day into a smooth, organized experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to bring order to their space with a professional who truly cares about making your life easier and your home more functional.

Hello! My name is Nalani. I'm 18 years old and currently finished with high school. I offer child care services as I have 5 years of experience with babysitting children. I love babysitting and have watched kids toddler age and grade school age since I was 13 years old. I do have the responsibility of taking the public transportation to and from school and the sit. I can cook and provide fun activities for kids such as painting, drawing, music, or the playground if any nearby. I am First Aid and CPR trained. I speak English and ASL. I also have experience with children of special needs and in the autism spectrum as a special needs and autistic woman myself.

Nalani is such an awesome, kind young lady. She was super helpful and inactive with my daughter. My daughter loved and connected with her as soon as she met her. She was super communicative as well. I would recommend families book with her.

My childcare experience includes: -Newborn and infant care -Toddler engagement and development -School-age children and young teens -Experience with multiple siblings -Driving to/from school and activities -Creative arts and crafts -Tutoring and homework help -Outdoor activities and recreation Beyond childcare, I'm also available for: -Pet care (cat and dog friendly - I have two beautiful cats named Emerald and Jasper!) -Household assistance including cooking, cleaning, and errands When not babysitting, you'll find me playing volleyball or enjoying the outdoors as much as possible! References happily provided upon request. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Booked by 1 family in Capitol Heights, MD

Hi! I'm Kadima, a happy, energetic college student with 5+ years of childcare experience. I'm naturally great with kids and love keeping them engaged in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I work with an event childcare company, caring for large groups of children (40+ at a time), and I've also been a birthday party hostess and in-home babysitter for families. I have experience shadowing an RBT, working with children with special needs, which has helped me become patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child's needs. I also have experience as a CNA doing homecare. Super okay with pets too (and I'm AHA Certified for Basic Life support! Yay!) I bring a positive attitude, reliability, and lots of energy to every family I work with!

"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)."
