JeNan $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Je’Nan, I have my associate degree in Human Sciences. I’m offering childcare and household services. I truly enjoy working with children and have been caring for infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16 years old. I’m a responsible driver with a clean driving record, and I love engaging kids through role-play and by creating funny, cool, and silly imaginary stories. In addition to childcare, I offer help with cooking, dishes, running errands, and even housesitting! I’m also a cat lover and have two black cats of my own: Aswad (which means “black” in Arabic—my mom named him because she always said if she ever got a black cat, that’s what she’d name him!) and Egypt. Thank you for considering me—I hope to connect with you soon!

Michelle $22 per hour for 1 child

I’ve raised three happy successful sons, and now I’m a grandma! As a mother of three I’ve seen it all. There is nothing I can’t handle. I was a substitute teacher for Montgomery and Fairfax Counties for a number of years. I am great with young children, babies and even teenagers. I don’t mind running errands, light cooking, helping with homework or driving kids to activities. I have my own car, and I am an excellent driver. I am physically fit, energetic, college educated and I love the outdoors and being around kids! U.S citizen, First aid and CPR certified, and I’ve had my Tdap shot. Would like to work 20-40 hours a week. Excellent reference. My rate is $22-$40 per hour depending on the requirements of the position. Thanks for considering me.

Rita $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rita, and I bring a unique blend of experience working with both children and seniors, combining patience, empathy, and dedication in every role I take on. As a Home Health Aide, I have provided compassionate care, ensuring comfort, safety, and dignity for elder clients. I am reliable, attentive, and skilled at creating a calm, supportive environment. A preschool lead teacher and working with children with special needs taught me the importance of structure, communication, and nurturing growth at every stage of life. I developed strong organizational skills, guided young learners with care, and built trusting relationships with families. These experiences strengthened my ability to manage responsibilities, remain calm under pressure, and provide emotional support to those in my care. Whether working with children or seniors, I approach each person with respect and understanding, committed to making a positive difference in their daily lives. First Aid, COVID-19 and CPR/AED

Booked by 1 family in Gaithersburg, MD

Hi! My name is Naomi. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2023. I nannied for 2 families consistently in MD while in college and have been working corporate since then. Before moving to MD I lived in California for the first part of my life, including high school, during which I worked with children for about four years. I did child care for Southlands Church for many years and was requested to work with families based off of my work with their kids during that job. I spent years working with the same kids, watching them grow up and developing relationships with them. I’ve always loved child care. Working with kids, learning more about them, their quirks and senses of humor and watching them develop into little humans. It’s so important to invest into kids lives to make them feel important and loved and I find a lot of value in being a part of that.

"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)."
