Elizabeth $16 per hour for 1 child

I’m confident in my ability to care for children, as I watch my two-year-old nephew three times a week. I also helped out at my mom’s daycare, gaining hands-on experience caring for and engaging with kids. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, fun environment for children.

Alicia $18 per hour for 1 child

Perfect! Based on that, here’s a draft introduction for your UrbanSitter profile: ⸻ Hello! I’m [AliciA], originally from Kingston, Jamaica, but living in sliver springs Aspenhill area now and I bring a warm Caribbean spirit to everything I do. I’m a certified CNA with extensive experience working with special needs children as well as typically developing kids. Back in Jamaica, I was a preschool teacher and I also work as a nurse, so I bring both professional and nurturing care. I love reading, music, and, most importantly, spending time with children. Their laughter, curiosity, and innocent charm are truly special to me. I’m also a proud mom of two, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. I look forward to caring for your little ones! ⸻ Feel free to tweak it or let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to add!

Drisneidi $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Gaithersburg, MD

Hi! My name is Dris and I have been working with children since I was 12 years old. I have a lot of nieces and nephews who I have experience from as early as 3 months to college graduation days. Additionally, I have taught ESL to Kindergarten overseas and worked as a virutal ESL teacher. I currently have a full time WFH job that allows me to be flexible for after school care and other needed times. I have a true passion for kids and love getting to their individual personalities to best fulfill their needs. I am a bubbly person and love to be outdoors. Additionally, I have a dog and am open to helping with running errands and any light household chores.

Isabella $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Isabella, I am 20 years old and I am currently a student at Montgomery college. I plan to further my education at the University of Maryland. I am offering child care, household services, and pet care. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. However, my mom has been a full time nanny my whole life and would take me with her growing up so she’s been a great role model. At 15 I took care of 2 boys age 6-8 for a whole summer taking them to the pool and making meals. At 17 I babysat a 4 year girl and we made crafts and went on hikes with her dog. At 18 I continued babysitting on occasion but also started dog walking 2-3x a week for one family and still do to this day. I’ve worked with saint Bernard’s and golden retrievers so any size dog I’m comfortable with. I love animals as I have 3 cats of my own. I also have experience taking care of a bunny. The family that I dog walk for, also asks me to occasionally run errands like make returns or dog/house sit when they are away.

Maya 1 review
$17 per hour for 1 child

I have been working with kids for a very long time with family and outside of family. I love having fun and also being open and experiencing New things. I have also worked with a summer camp (Therapeutic Recreation) with kids with disabilities so I am open and willing to work with all types of kids. I’m also down to do long term and look for a place and a family to grow with and learn! I’ve also dog sat and am willing to clean around the house if needed. Will also negotiate price if needed! Thank you.

Maya is a very sweet girl, she is always on time, communication is on point, she is very flexible. She took care of my 7 year old son and took care of my 8 month old puppy frenchie. Never had no problems Maya is the best!

"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)."
