Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I’m CPR and AED certified and spent over 4 years working as a lifeguard, where I learned how to keep children safe, stay calm in emergencies, and create a fun, positive environment. I also have hands-on childcare experience from babysitting my sisters’ children, who are currently 1, 2, and 7 years old. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable caring for children of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading books, helping with homework, or sticking to bedtime routines, I strive to make every child feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently looking for a full-time position with a wonderful family and would love to build a long-term relationship with parents who are looking for someone they can trust. I understand how important it is to know your children are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own family. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Mariatu $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Indian Head, MD

My name is Mariatu, and I am 20 years old. I have been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) since I was 19 years old, beginning in 2024. Working as a CNA has given me valuable hands-on experience in patient care, responsibility, and compassion. In this role, I assist patients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility support. I also monitor vital signs and provide emotional support to patients and their families. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to remain calm in challenging situations. Although I truly value my experience in healthcare, I am currently looking to transition into a nanny position. I enjoy caring for others, especially children, and I believe my background as a CNA has prepared me well for this role. Being a nanny requires attentiveness, reliability, and a nurturing personality—qualities I have developed through my professional experience. I understand the importance of safety, structure, and creating a positive environment where children can learn and grow. I am responsible, trustworthy, and committed to supporting families in a meaningful way. In addition, I am preparing to enter nursing school to further my education and advance my career in healthcare. Becoming a registered nurse has been a long-term goal of mine, and I am dedicated to working hard to achieve it. My experiences as a CNA and my interest in working as a nanny both reflect my passion for caring for others and making a difference in people’s lives. I am motivated, compassionate, and eager to continue growing both personally and professionally.

"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)."
