Duduzile $25 per hour for 1 child

Growing up in a household where I was the first Grandchild, I automatically became a Deputy parent for my siblings, cousins etc. I have raised every child that came after me and the beauty of it is that we had a daycare at home. I am passionate about taking care of children, it’s more of a passion for me, the beauty of getting to see them grow in front of me and be involved in all developmental stages warms up my heart even more. This is what I’ve been doing my whole life

Destinee $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Gwynn Oak, MD

Dear Families, My name is Destinee, and I’m excited to share a bit more about myself with you. Originally from California, I moved here for college, but things didn’t quite go as planned. However, that led me to pursue becoming a CNA. In the meantime, I’ve returned to caregiving, which I find incredibly fulfilling. I have experience caring for children ranging from 1 to 13 years old, including infants. I am incredibly interactive with children and enjoy engaging them in games and activities that are not only fun but also educational. Safety is my number one priority, and I always ensure that the children I care for are in a safe and secure environment. In addition to caregiving, I also offer homework help in subjects like math, science, history, and more. I make an effort to understand how each child learns best so that I can tailor my teaching approach accordingly. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your family. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if there’s anything specific you’d like to know. Warm regards, Destinee F

MARIYAH $15 per hour for 1 child

My earliest childcare experience comes from assisting my mother in her daycare, where I helped care for children of different ages on a daily basis. My responsibilities included supervising playtime, supporting learning activities, helping with meals and routines, maintaining a safe environment, and ensuring children were engaged in positive, age-appropriate activities. This experience taught me patience, responsibility, consistency, and how to manage multiple children while maintaining safety and structure. In addition to daycare experience, I have volunteered with Special Reach, an organization that supports children with disabilities. Through this work, I gained valuable experience working with children with diverse physical, developmental, and emotional needs. This taught me how to adapt my communication style, be more attentive to individual needs, and provide a calm, supportive, and encouraging environment where every child feels included and understood. I am currently a college student at Morgan State University majoring in Sports Administration and I am also a collegiate athlete. My experience as a student-athlete has strengthened my leadership, discipline, teamwork, time management, and ability to perform in fast-paced environments. I understand responsibility and accountability, especially when managing schedules, academics, athletics, and work simultaneously. Overall, I am reliable, patient, and highly motivated to work with children. I enjoy creating fun, structured, and safe environments where kids can learn, play, and grow. I am comfortable with children of all ages, including those with special needs, and I am committed to providing trustworthy, high-quality care for families.

Fae $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Fae, a Towson University graduate with 5+ years of childcare experience, including 3 years as a Pre-K teacher and 2 years as a K–5 substitute. I’m patient, calm, and genuinely love helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. A couple fun facts: I love the outdoors, dancing, and I currently volunteer in the pediatric ICU department at GBMC where I’m able to do and create activities with kiddies during their stay. I’m also a shift leader at the Baltimore Hunger Project where we help provide meals to students in BCPS who aren’t fortunate enough on the weekends. I love animals & have a 5 year old shih-tzu myself and spend some Saturday mornings doing dog enrichment at BARCS since caring for others is truly my heart! I’m comfortable with all ages, pets, light housekeeping, homework help, and structured routines. I was a paid teacher for years and as a plan to further my education, a nanny role would be a perfect balance. Happy to provide references!

"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."

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)."
