Booked by 10 families in District Heights, MD

Hi Families! I’m Khady, I’m a third year student at Howard University. I currently reside in Noma. I’m originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, and I’ve been babysitting for about eight years. I got my Red Cross babysitting and CPR/First Aid certification at 12, and since then, I’ve been working with newborns up to teenagers. I’m experienced with all ages, but I especially love working with toddlers from 3 months to 5 to 6 years old. I also have a lot of experience with special needs, especially ASD and ADHD. I’ve worked with many families, providing date nights and backup care, and I’ve had several consistent nanny families over the years. I’m also a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and spent a year and a half at UNC Rex Hospital NICU, where I gained my experience with newborns. This included maintaining feeding schedules, swaddling, and creating a calm and safe environment. For two summers, I also worked as a camp counselor at the YMCA, working with kids from preschool through grade school, and I absolutely loved it. I enjoyed spending time outdoors, going to the pool, taking trips to the park, and keeping the children occupied with fun activities without screen time. I truly enjoy what I do and love making my clients and kids happy every day. I always go the extra mile and truly enjoy building strong relationships with my families and the kids I work with. I really strive for consistency, and many of the kids I sit hate to see me leave and want to hang out forever—it just feels like a playdate. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Khady

Khady was amazing today! She arrived right on time and communicated with me ahead of the visit and throughout the day, which really gave me peace of mind while my baby wasn’t feeling well. She kept me updated consistently and handled everything with such care. Khady is kind, respectful, and very responsible—I felt completely comfortable leaving my little one in her hands. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking her again.

Hi! My name is Lily. I am currently in my second year of law school. I am offering occasional and one time childcare and pet care services in the DC/Northern Virginia area. I have been babysitting since I was a teenager. I have taken care of all ages at various times within the past 12 years (babies to middle schoolers). Throughout my college career and the year after graduation, I had several full time nannying jobs at various times. My responsibilities at past jobs have included driving to/from various appointments, school, and after-school activities, helping with homework, and coming up with fun activities on summer and weekend days. I am also Red Cross CPR certified for both infants and children/adults. I also always make sure to clean up after meals, activities, etc. I am comfortable working with families who have pets, and am always happy to help out with them (walk the dog, feed any pets, etc.) as needed! I am experienced with pet-sitting as well. I have a dog at home, and grew up with many pets.

Lily was great! Our daughter loved hanging out with 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."

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)."
