Londyn $18 per hour for 1 child

Although I’ve just moved to urban sitter I have years of experience with child sitting being the eldest of a big family, they noticed that I am great with sitting shortly after and it moved to families who were not mine. Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. For the past two years, I've dedicated myself to creating engaging and supportive environments for children of all ages to start it off I made sure to get my CPR certification. My background in ECE during summer programs, & babysitting provided me with the skills to foster their growth through creative activities, educational games, and active outdoor play. I am patient, imaginative, and always approachable. I enjoy playing board games and puzzles. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I am also happy to help with cooking and light housekeeping. I prioritize clear communication with parents, following your preferred method for daily updates or addressing any concerns. I also follow your lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. Knowing I can positively impact a child's life and support your family means a lot to me! I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your little ones!

Tara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tara, and I’m based in Towson, Maryland. I’ve spent the past three years working as a direct support professional supporting children of various ages — including those with developmental, emotional, and physical disabilities. That experience taught me how to balance patience, structure, and creativity in helping every child feel safe, supported, and happy. I’m warm, reliable, and love engaging children in fun, meaningful activities — from reading and crafts to outdoor play and sensory-friendly games. Whether you need help for a few hours after school or a dependable sitter for weekends and date nights, I provide consistent, loving care that parents can trust.

LaShelle $23 per hour for 1 child

As a compassionate, highly organized, and reliable caregiver, I genuinely love working with children and bringing joy to their day. With over 3 years of hands-on experience running my own home daycare, coupled with my roles as a Substitute Teacher and Early Literacy Interventionist, I've developed a deep understanding of engaging children aged 6 weeks to 13 years through play, crafts, and age-appropriate activities, always prioritizing their safety and well-being. My extensive background in administrative and managerial roles (over 8 years) means I bring exceptional time management, organizational skills, and meticulous attention to detail to every aspect of childcare, from seamless scheduling and healthy meal prep to light tidying. I'm deeply committed to fostering meaningful connections with diverse families and maintaining a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive. I possess a valid driver's license with reliable transportation and am eager to contribute my dedication and nurturing approach to your family's needs."

Destinee $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Harwood, 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

"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)."
