Hi families! My name is Mary, and I am a recent college graduate from University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I’m an experienced caregiver with an extensive background in child, senior, and pet care. I have up to date certifications in CPR, first aid, and early childhood education. I’ve worked as a nanny, assisting with daily routines, homework, and ensuring a safe environment. With seniors, I provide compassionate support in daily activities, medication management, and companionship. My pet care includes feeding, walking, and grooming various animals, regardless of size or age. I look forward to contributing positively to your family’s daily life!

OMG I'm so grateful for her punctuality, reliability, professionalism, and care!! My daughter is four and I was nervous for her to have a sitter for the first time. But Mary is so great with her, and offers other services while here. So thoughtful and actually plays with your kid too. "She's so nice mommy, I want to keep her for my birthday," my daughter said haha. Definitely 5 stars!

Hello, my name is ChiChi, I offer child care, senior care and household services. I love being a babysitter/ nanny and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, school-age children as well as twins since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included dropoffs/pickups, tutoring, coaching, playtime, games, crafts, feeding, naptime and more. As a parent, I understand the importance of creating a safe and engaging environment to meet developmental needs while prioritizing comfort and well-being. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for older family members and can drive to assist with appointments, cook and other tasks. I am allergic to cats though happy to work with families with small dogs. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and intuitive. I’m flexible with scheduling and open to discussing routines that work best for your household.

Chichi is very friendly and communicates very well. I look forward to working with her in the future

Hi everyone! I am currently rising junior in college but I am a Baltimore City native. I have been nannying and babysitting for going on six years now! I also have been a certified lifeguard for four years, and I was an overnight camp counselor for the previous two summers. I am very passionate about keeping kids safe, happy and healthy! I love animals as well, and pet sit on the side, so dogs and cats are more than welcome. I am looking forward to working with you and your family!

"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)."
