Hello , I’m Jennifer I live in germantown i am 23. Currently looking for a second job to be able to save up for school . I have a lot of experience with kids of all ages I’ve worked with new borns i was a hearing tech at anne arundel medical center . I as well worked a recreational center taking care of kids between the ages of 1-15. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach out thank you (:

“Jennifer was an absolute lifesaver for our family. She stepped in during a very challenging week and supported us while we worked within the same space. She connected with our toddler so deeply that my toddler didn't want her to leave and even cried when it was time to say goodbye. Jennifer has gone above and beyond. She helped with cooking, checked in to see if I needed anything else, and carried herself with so much kindness and initiative. She was warm, reliable, and incredibly helpful during a moment when we truly needed support. We are so grateful for her and would love to work with her again.”

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! ”

"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)."
