I am currently a second grade teacher. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education from Morgan State University. I’ve been working with children in grades ranging from 1st -8th over the course of my program. Throughout my program I’ve learned the importance of letting kids creativity guide their learning and grow their minds. Outside of school, I’ve done summer long babysitting jobs for a few families. I’ve also been a tutor for the past two years for Literacy Brigage, working with kindergarten through 8th grade on building their overall literacy through the Orton Gillingham method.

“Very professional sitter. ”

Mickelia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Mickelia, a Master’s student pursuing a career in medicine, and I have a genuine passion for caring for and working with children. I have hands-on childcare experience in both clinical and personal settings. I previously worked in a children’s hospital, where I provided direct care and support to children with a variety of needs. I also worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I supported children with autism and gained valuable experience understanding their individual needs, routines, behaviors, and communication styles. In addition to my professional experience, I have been babysitting my younger cousin since he was 6 months old and continued caring for him through age 7. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children. I am dependable, caring, patient, and attentive, and I understand that every child is unique. I would love the opportunity to provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment while giving parents peace of mind that their little one is in capable hands.

Karen $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m a highly educated graduate of Virginia Tech State University & graduated with a BS degree. I have recently retired from an extremely successful & fulfilling IT Sales career. I am very excited about my new part-time career as a Babysitter/Nanny for infants, children, and teens! I have more than 11 years of Babysitter/Nanny experience watching my 6 grandchildren. I also have experience working with children, teens, and even twin babies! I am well-versed in taking this next step by making this my new part-time career! I'm extremely excited to learn about your family and how I can "make a difference" in your babies, children, and teens' lives, as they certainly will in mine. I'm skilled and have many years of experience with snack & meal prep, homework, diaper changes, sleep strategies, light housework, dog sitting, etc. Also, I drive a “VERY safe & dependable” automobile and am typically VERY neat and organized. I assure you that you will NOT come home to a messy house. I enjoy getting creative with regards to activities for young and even older children. Maybe some crafting, playing games, taking fun walks, or a great game of hide & seek! Older children might want to throw the football around outside with me or take a walk around the neighborhood. I'm patient and kind and absolutely love building connections with babies, young children, and teens. Also, I have completed and passed my Driving Record and Background check and will gladly send you the results if requested. I'm excited to combine my love for children & teens with a part-time Babysitting/Nanny role. My goal will be to ensure that your children have an extremely safe and loving environment whenever I am with them. Let’s create wonderful childhood memories “together”. I’m looking forward to hearing from you! KK

"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)."
