Esther $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Esther. My peers would describe me as energetic, caring, and easy-going person. I have 7 years of babysitting experience, mostly with newborns to 12 years olds. I am currently graduating from Northern Virginia Community College in Business Administration. The thing that I enjoy most about this job is just being able to be around such happy individuals. Children just have a different light to them and it is so nice to be able to have that energy contributed to your day. My favorite part about taking care of children is the positive influence I am able to have on a child’s life. Children are so precious, and I enjoy their ability watch them grow, laugh, learn, and enjoy the little things in life.

Hello! My name is Melissa, and I am the owner of Stepping Stones Learning Academy LLC. I am a dedicated, dependable, and compassionate childcare provider with experience caring for infants and toddlers in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

My goal is to create a fun, structured environment where children can thrive while giving parents peace of mind. I have a strong background in working with families and children, and I take pride in being patient, trustworthy, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. Safety is always my top priority, and I strive to build positive, lasting relationships with both children and their families. Whether you need occasional babysitting, date-night care, overnight care, or full-time nanny services, I look forward to providing reliable, loving, and high-quality care for your little ones.

Natalia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalia. I’m Colombian, 30 years old, and currently live in the Elkridge, Maryland area. I am looking for a full-time nanny position with a family that can offer some flexibility with my school schedule. I have several years of professional childcare experience with children ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I was an au pair in Syracuse, New York, from November 2019 to August 2022, where I cared for two little girls, including the oldest from the time she was just 4 months old. After moving to Maryland, I worked as a full-time nanny from March 2023 to March 2024, caring for a little girl who was also 4 months old when I started. I transitioned from full-time childcare to pursue my legal career in the United States. I currently work as a Paralegal and am pursuing my LL.M. part-time at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. Although I enjoy working in the legal field, I truly miss working with children and would love to find the right family to work with full-time while completing my graduate studies. I am available full-time Monday through Friday, with the exception of Thursday 11am to 1pm due to an in-person class. I am happy to discuss a schedule that works well for both the family and my academic commitment. I consider myself responsible, caring, outgoing, and active. I genuinely enjoy playing with children, planning age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and supporting their development. I am also a native Spanish speaker and would be happy to speak Spanish with your children if your family is interested in bilingual exposure. I have extensive infant and toddler experience, and the safety, happiness, and well-being of the children in my care are always my priority. I am primarily looking for a family in Elkridge, Maryland, or the surrounding areas, and I would love to find a position with a family that values communication, reliability, and a positive relationship with their nanny. Please feel free to reach out if you think we might be a good fit. I would love to hear more about your family and your childcare needs! Natalia P.

"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)."
