Miriam Gisel $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Gisel, and I would love to help care for your children. I am available to start immediately. I am a former Au Pair with over 6,000 hours of childcare experience, including extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and children of various ages. I have also worked as a nanny and daycare assistant, supporting children’s development and well-being in different settings. I am CPR certified and have Montessori training. In addition, I have completed face-painting courses and enjoy creating fun, educational, and age-appropriate activities for children. I love arts and crafts, sensory play, educational activities, reading, music, and outdoor activities whenever the weather allows. Spanish is my native language, and I would be happy to introduce children to the language through songs, games, books, and everyday conversations if your family is interested in helping them learn a few words or develop bilingual skills. I have experience with diaper changes, bottle preparation, feeding routines, nap schedules, potty training, and helping children develop healthy habits and independence. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, structured, and enriching environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I especially enjoy planning hands-on activities that encourage creativity, learning, and social development. I believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with child-related tasks such as cleaning and organizing play areas and children’s bedrooms, washing and sanitizing bottles, organizing toys, folding and putting away children’s laundry, and helping keep their spaces clean, safe, and organized. I consider myself patient, responsible, caring, organized, and highly dedicated to childcare. I value open communication with parents and always strive to provide the best possible care while respecting each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I am also pet-friendly and very comfortable around dogs and other pets, so I would be happy to help if you have furry family members at home. Although I do not currently have my own vehicle, I have reliable transportation and can be punctual and dependable every day. My rate is $25 per hour, and I am available to start immediately. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs and discuss how I can support your children’s growth and well-being. Thank you for your time and consideration

Hello! My name is Kayla. Please read my profile before booking to see if I and my policies are a good fit for your family, as I am only accepting ad hoc care needs and not currently looking to add a scheduled position :) Note: I will be out of the country on my honeymoon from 2/14/19 through 3/4/2019. A little bit about myself: I enjoy working on my house, gardening, going to the theater (Hamilton!), politics, running, traveling, hiking, tennis, cooking, reading (!!!!), good television (love The Office!), entertaining friends and family, and learning. I am a happy young woman, very organized, focused, self motivated, responsible, punctual and energetic. I like to be active and fill my time up with hobbies and activities.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 25 families in Gaithersburg, MD

Hello Parents/ Guardians, my name is Italia-Karine (she/her). I am a college student majoring in Early Education Technology and Nursing. Outside of my academic endeavors, I am the eldest child of a migrant family (from Cameroon). My familial life plays a significant role in my ability to care for children and seniors as I've constantly lived and catered towards grandparents, younger siblings, and cousins. On a professional note, I am currently employed as a private educator with an organization. Under this title, I communicate effectively and efficiently between myself, my leader, and the supervisors of the schools I am scheduled to teach in, I create lesson plans for our classroom time, guide school-aged children on the importance of social studies through fun and interactive methods, as well as oversee the safety of the students while they are in my care. I also have a CPR certification and a State-recognized document stating that I am in good standing to care for children ( no abusive record). I speak three languages, English, French, and Spanish. I am exceptionally good at tutoring and helping young children remain engaged in educational tasks ie homework, and studying sight words. I also excel in domestic chores such as cooking healthy meals, cleaning, completing necessary errands, etc. In the past I have volunteered and worked as a health aide. This helps with knowing how to professionally best care for anyone who may be facing a limitation on what they're able to do independently. I have a valid driver's license as well. I am based in the Rockville area of Maryland but I am more than willing to go beyond this to support you and your family. I am also flexible in terms of pricing and time so feel free to inbox based on your situation. I hope my introduction has left a positive impression in your mind! I hope to hear from you soon!

"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)."
