Brienna Essex
$20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Brienna, Brie for short. I am a mother of a 5 year old son and I am the oldest daughter of 3 girls. I grew up caring for my younger siblings and cousins. I am comfortable with age groups of 3 - 15. I have two male cats and love animals. I’ve had a family pit-bull that I live with for 5 years. I am comfortable with large animals that are friendly and well trained, preferably that had a yard that I can simply clean up behind after letting them out to use the bathroom. I prefer cats and children that can talk to verbally tell me if they are tired, or hungry, or have to use the bathroom. I am good at biology and algebra. I was an honor graduate in high-school. I currently hold two degrees, one in computer information systems, and another in web and digital design. I have patience and I am always down for a Disney classic movie.

Jesu-Timilehin Essex
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kiki, and I am a sophomore majoring in nursing at Morgan State University. I have always had a passion for working with children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and learn. Growing up as an only child, I spent a lot of time caring for younger cousins and the children of family friends. I also volunteered in my church’s children’s ministry, where I gained valuable experience supervising and engaging with children of different ages. For many years, I have provided babysitting for families in my community and genuinely enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents. In addition to childcare, I am certified in CPR and First Aid and work as a Certified Medication Technician (CMT), giving me experience with safety, responsibility, and caregiving. I am also happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, organization, and homework help when needed. I look forward to meeting your family and providing dependable, compassionate care for your children!

Kaitlin Middle River
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaitlin, and I have over 3 years of experience working in daycares and public schools with children of all ages. I’ve worked in every classroom a daycare provides, with most of my experience focused on infants and toddlers. I’m CPR certified and have completed my 90-hour childcare certifications, so safety and quality care are always my priority. Outside of childcare, I was a dancer for 15+ years and love creative activities like reading and drawing. I’m currently in college studying Deaf Studies and Psychology, and I know intermediate ASL. I’m also happy to help with homework or simply be a supportive study partner for children who need encouragement while learning. I’m patient, caring, creative, and passionate about helping children grow in a safe and positive environment!

"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

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
