Booked by 1 family in Ellicott City, MD

Im from a very large family & started care taking for my grandmother and babysitting family members/ family friends children at a very young age so I love to be around children! I just recently completed my Bachelors my degree in Sociology and currently work with the elderly and those with mental and physical disabilities . I have years of experience as a professional nanny caring for children ages 6 months-13 yrs. I am reliable, attentive, and observant. Safety is my number one objective! Keeping children safe involves a lot of supervision, and that is one of my strongest areas. I have my own, reliable vehicle. Education is very important to me and I believe setting aside some time during the day for educational exercises or school work is vital to the growth and well being of a child. I can assist with class projects and homework assignments. I am willing to keep your children entertained with fun outdoor activities, such as, zoo, museum and park visits. I know children can have a hard time with new people while mommy and daddy are away but I'm also great at board games, arts & crafts ,hide and seek etc

Amel $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Amel (uh-mel)! I’m 18 and live in the Laurel/Fulton area. I’m currently attending HCC, where I’m studying pediatric nursing, so working with children is something I’m truly passionate about. I love being around kids and have lots of hands-on experience caring for my younger brother, cousins, and family friends. I’m comfortable caring for children of many different ages, from toddlers to grade-schoolers, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re with me. I’d describe myself as fun, bubbly, loving, and responsible, and I enjoy finding ways to keep kids entertained while also making sure they’re well cared for. Outside of school and babysitting, some of my hobbies include drawing, painting, cooking, gaming, and spending time outdoors. I’d love to bring that creativity and energy into babysitting by doing fun activities, playing games, getting creative, or simply hanging out and making sure your child has a great time while you're away!

As a compassionate, highly organized, and reliable caregiver, I genuinely love working with children and bringing joy to their day. With over 3 years of hands-on experience running my own home daycare, coupled with my roles as a Substitute Teacher and Early Literacy Interventionist, I've developed a deep understanding of engaging children aged 6 weeks to 13 years through play, crafts, and age-appropriate activities, always prioritizing their safety and well-being. My extensive background in administrative and managerial roles (over 8 years) means I bring exceptional time management, organizational skills, and meticulous attention to detail to every aspect of childcare, from seamless scheduling and healthy meal prep to light tidying. I'm deeply committed to fostering meaningful connections with diverse families and maintaining a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive. I possess a valid driver's license with reliable transportation and am eager to contribute my dedication and nurturing approach to your family's needs."

"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)."
