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.

Booked by 1 family in Gaithersburg, MD

Hi, My name is Marie and I am currently babysitting. I am offering child care. I have 3 children, with one in the spectrum. I worked in a child center with new born, infants, toddlers and toddlers. I also have experience working with special needs children age 4 to 15. I am a native French speaker and I love to teach and tutor children to learn and speak French while having fun.

Marie was absolutely wonderful with our three-year-old. She is professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out to us is her experience with autism, she handled everything with patience, confidence, and care. From the moment she arrived, she connected quickly with our child and needed very little direction, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cares and takes her role seriously. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family, and we’ll definitely be hiring her 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."

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)."
