Booked by 1 family in Colesville, MD

Hi! My name is Rokhaya. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life, not just as a job, but as family. As the firstborn of five younger siblings, I’ve been actively caring for infants and children since I was 13. Being the oldest taught me responsibility, patience, and how to nurture children with love and consistency. Professionally, I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience with a wide range of ages (including twins), from five-month-old infants to toddlers, preschoolers, and older children up to 10 years old. I’m comfortable adjusting to each child’s needs, routines, and personality, whether that means bottle-feeding, playtime, helping with homework, or simply creating a calm and safe environment. I’m known for being very warm, gentle, and attentive. I genuinely love children, and that shows in the way I care for them. I enjoy creating positive, joyful spaces through music, outdoor time, and creative activities. I also love nature, which often inspires calm play and meaningful connection with kids. I’m bilingual and speak both English and French fluently, which can be a great asset for families looking to expose their children to another language. Overall, I take pride in being reliable, nurturing, and present, and I treat every child I care for as if they were my own.

Booked by 3 families in Colesville, MD

Hello families! I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am in college studying for my finance degree from home looking for a childcare job. I find joy in creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive in. One of the experiences that has shaped my passion for childcare is my time working at an aftercare program for a private school called St. John the Evangelist in Silver Spring Maryland. My coworker and I cared for 20 children ages 2-5 daily after school. This role allowed me to interact with children of various ages and backgrounds. It was incredibly rewarding to see the children grow and develop under my care. In addition to my work at the aftercare program, I have several years of experience in babysitting and tutoring. I worked for a family with 3 kids for a year daily ages 5-11. I have also worked for 8 months with a family with 2 boys ages 3 and 5. I am also employed with Aristotle circle tutors and have worked at group homes and with clients tutoring children of all ages and tutored multiple subjects. These experiences have taught me how to connect with children on an individual level, understanding their unique interests and needs. I believe that building a strong rapport with kids is essential in creating a positive and enjoyable sitting experience. I not only prioritize their safety and well-being, but I also enjoy engaging them in fun and educational activities. Whether it's playing games, doing crafts, or helping with homework, I strive to make each moment meaningful and enjoyable.

“Anya is very good with children, my boys had a great time and are asking for more. Will book again! ”

Booked by 1 family in Colesville, MD

Hi! I majored film productions and the performing arts. I living in DC but I was born and raised in West Africa until I was 11, so I bring a global perspective and a lot of curiosity to everything I do. I've been babysitting since I was 10, starting with the children in my own family. In the summer of 9th grade, I was a Counselor in Training at the Anthony Bowen Branch YMCA in DC, where I helped lead activities and look after groups of kids until COVID shut things down. I've also regularly babysat at my mother's gym. I'm comfortable with children from 9 months to 12 years old. With babies and toddlers, I'm patient and attentive. With older kids, I love games, arts and crafts, storytelling, and creative play, and I'm happy to help with homework. I'm also a great cook, so I can prepare kid-friendly meals and snacks, and I can even make cooking a fun activity. I'm reliable, caring, and always focused on keeping kids safe and having fun.

“Rose was very professional. She showed up early and jumped in immediately. She even tidied up the play area without being asked. My 4 year loved her. I highly recommend her. ”

"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."

"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)."
