Jalisa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Jalisa , and I’ve been working with children for over 10 years. My background is in child development, and I’m passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and loving environment. As a mom of two, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones. I treat every child as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and consistency. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m also comfortable and experienced working with children who have disabilities, providing individualized care and support to meet their unique needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I enjoy planning creative activities, outdoor play, reading time, and hands-on learning experiences that make each day special. If you’re looking for a dependable, nurturing, and experienced nanny to care for your children, I’d love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs!

Booked by 2 families in Gaithersburg, MD

Hi everyone, I'm Jessica, a sophomore at college. It's been a few years since I started taking care of kids but for as long as I can remember l've always been like a second mum to my little siblings and cousins while growing up. Not because I didn't have a mum, but because being the eldest daughter it automatically became second nature. I love taking care of kids, watching and helping them grow is such a privilege to me, l'am also aware that it can sometimes get messy so I can help with light house work, laundry and school work if need. l'am more than willing to be a part of your team and I promise to do my best to keep your kids both happy and safe! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.

Jessica is great and personable! She was easy to communicate with. Our little one bonded with her immediately and they had a great time together reading books, playing creatively with toys, and also went out for a short walk. We will continue to work with her and also recommend her to others.

Alexis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alexis!! I am 22 with over 5 years of child care experience. I am here for long term and short term care for your children! I started off my child care career with babysitting families here and there at 16 years old. I continued to get a job as a teachers aide in a 1-2 aged classroom. I loved that age but wanted to expand my experience so l moved as an aid to the 3-4 aged classroom while being a teacher in aftercare in a 4-5 aged classroom. I found so much joy in being a teacher I then decided to move schools and become a full time preschool teacher in a 4-5 aged classroom! I babysit for so many families in my spare time and being with children is one of my happy places! I love teaching and working with kids it has become one of my true passions. I love teaching children new things and continue to help them develop. I’m energetic, loving, affectionate, and passionate. I am here to help with cooking, cleaning, and overall upkeep of the house. I have my own transportation and am willing to transport in family car! Plus, I’m Very friendly with dogs :)

"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)."
