I have been a nanny since I was 15 years old. I have watched all ages of children from infants to preteens. I have worked with children with special needs as well. I am also accustomed to working with more than three children. I have had jobs as a summer nanny, date night babysitter, and overnight weekend sitter. I am also a swim coach and teach swim lessons, so I have worked with children in many different settings. I also have been a certified lifeguard for the past seven years and I am accustomed to teaching children to swim and saving their lives in the water. I am allergic to mushrooms so if meal prep is involved please make sure they are not involved with it! **Note if you cancel within less than 24 hours I require 2 hours minimum cancelation fee. Thank you!**

My name is Oumou, I am the kind, creative and silly sitter your children need. Growing up in a large family, I was always given the responsibility to watch children which I truly enjoyed. Seeing how much I was at ease and happy around those kids made me realize that I wanted to make a career out of it in the future. I have had so far 10 years of professional experience which were truly amazing. I have a background in early childhood education and I speak five languages including French. I like going outdoors and getting very involved in whatever the children are doing since it makes me feel like a kids again.

Booked by 2 families in Helen, MD

Hello! My name is Unique, and I am a caring, dependable childcare provider who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel loved. With experience as both a preschool teacher and substitute teacher, I have had the opportunity to work with children of various ages and personalities, creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments where they can thrive. I believe every child deserves patience, encouragement, and individualized attention. Whether we're reading stories, exploring creative activities, playing outdoors, helping with homework, or simply enjoying everyday routines, I strive to make each child feel supported, confident, and valued. I understand that inviting someone into your home and entrusting them with your children is a big decision. My goal is to provide dependable care that gives parents peace of mind while creating a positive and caring experience for their children. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable preparing healthy meals and snacks, assisting with school pick-ups and drop-offs, maintaining children's spaces, and supporting family routines. I am CPR and First Aid certified, Food Safe certified, and experienced in preparing meals for children with food allergies and dietary restrictions. I would be honored to support your family and look forward to learning how I can best meet your child's unique needs.

Unique was great! She arrived early and my baby loved her. I appreciate her attention to detail. She made sure she understood my child’s needs/ routine and was mindful to check how I prefer to receive updates. Will book again

First, I have an M.Ed. from the University of Virginia, with a focus on children with disabilities. References, police, and a clear CPS background report are available. I am a fun-loving, easy-going, and active caretaker specifically trained to work with special needs, including ASD, Tourette, ADHD, and similar disabilities. ABA trained, and the father of a child with comparable disabilities who is now a successful adult. Most kids love me and are willing to dive in and have fun. My daughter is a lawyer and teaches ethics, and I am especially adept at taking kids out to the mall, local airport, commuter train to the D.C. museums, or Richmond. I have a commercial CDL with a student endorsement, and we go anywhere we can practice calming and behavior, and have fun in various environments. Swimming pools and lakes are incredibly attractive to kids with ASD and extremely dangerous since most can't swim. I specialize in providing survival swimming at the local YMCA. ( I have a membership, and the crew at Massad Stafford YMCA knows me. I have been active as a Big Brother mentor for almost 14 years, giving back to my community. I love electronics, gadgets, elephants, the Mars Rover, the landscape of Venus, and everything about the James Webb Telescope. Many kids love this stuff, too. Some kids can make their bed with help, and afterward, we can grill a cheese sandwich, read a picture book, or watch a video... but not all day! I have cared for a 7-year-old with comorbidities for almost four years and helped potty-train him. BTW, I currently teach middle school reading, am rarely grouchy, and, as a Gemini, remain in touch with my inner child forever. I have extensive experience helping kids with autism and related needs; I might be able to give you a break from the routine without breaking your budget.

Gary is a wonderful caretaker of our children, including one who has ASD and special needs! We have worked with him for over three years and trust Gary with both our boys, aged 7 and 5. Gary is professional, knowledgeable, very understanding, and kind. We enjoy working with Gary, and he is excellent taking our special needs child to his swimming pool, or out for adventures in FXBG, D.C., Richmond. He has an excellent rating on CheckR, BTW.

"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)."
