Mariam 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mariam, and I work in a Pediatric Emergency Room, where providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care to children is my top priority. Through my experience in pediatrics, I’ve worked with children of all ages and learned how to stay calm, patient, and observant in all situations, giving parents peace of mind that their child is in good hands. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, and playtime. I also have a passion for cooking and am happy to help with meal prep or snacks as needed. Creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment is always my goal. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care services. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, primarily small breeds, and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I treat every child and pet with care, patience, and respect.

“she’s so amazing & wonderful with my kids! has a very bubbly personality and always willing to help out when needed!”

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

I love making people feel comfortable and confident around me. I like working with kids because I get to be there to witness the growth in through their childhood, to build connections and teach lesson. I've always had a passion for working with kids since I was young. I love to see the type of person they grow to be as they develop a personality of their on. I started working with kids when right after high school. After graduating I went straight into working at a day care. I will be pursuing early childhood education in school.

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.

"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

"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)."
