Booked by 6 families in Kensington, MD

Hello there, My name is Eleanor and I am a former preschool teacher with 20+ years of experience as a teacher working with both a two/3-year-old and three/4-year-old classroom. About five years ago,after throughly enjoying my time as a teacher,I decided I was ready for a change and decided to focus on being a nanny. I have worked with many wonderful families that include children ages four months to five years old. I enjoy getting out in nature and other outings such as story time at the library or trips to the zoo. Getting creative, exploring and having adventures together are just a few of the things I love about spending time with young children.

Booked by 1 family in Kensington, MD

Hello, I’m Pui. My full name is Duangkamon and I have 18 years of experience being a nanny since 2009 in the States. I have a CPR certificate by the American Heart Association. I live in Silver Spring, MD. I have experience taking care of children from infancy to teenage age. I first started to come to the United States of America as an Aupair. I worked with a family in Maryland. I have a good relationship with them. In 2009 I took care of 3 months old infant and 10 years old girls. Then my contract was overed in January of 2010, but in 2011 the family had a new baby, so the family contacted me back asking me to help her taking care of an infant baby for 2 -3 days a week. I also took care of a newborn infant since 7 week for a summer job back in 2012 toward the end the family asked me to move to Atlanta with them for good, but I was in school so I could not move in. I offered them to help them around in Atlanta for one month since the baby just born in May 2012. Then I started to be an after school babysitter for a 5 years old boy who was about to become 6 years old. I worked with this family until March 2020. He turned 13 this year. I moved to Seattle on August, 2020 and I live in Silver Spring, MD now. I can drive to your house and willing to drive your children in my car or your cars. Recently I graduate LPN program form Anne Arundel Community College on May 2025. I already pass the boarding exam and I am also a licensed LPN. I hope to have a chance to get an interview with you. Thank you.

Thanat 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of childcare experience including 2 years as an Au pair. I love being around children, and I am so obviously enjoyed interacting with them. I am responsible, focus, gentle, neat and be on time. I am full vaccinated. I have my own transportation and would love to discuss job responsibilities/expectations

“Benz (Thanat) is amazing! He took care of my son, 5 days a week from ages 2-3 and has become part of the family. My son tells me frequently how much he loves Benz and how Benz plays the best games. He is reliable, caring, and can match energy with the calmest or wildest of kids. I was nervous how my son would do switching from all female care takers (other than his Dad) to a male sitter/nanny and I can say Benz was perfect. They would go on daily walks through the neighborhood and he kept my son happily entertained while we worked from home. Any family that gets to work with Benz is lucky and we are looking forward to our special Benz visits! Coming back to update, after having several different nanny/sitters since my son started preschool, I have really come to appreciate Benz even more. He is amazing reliable and responsible. In the year he was with us, he was never more than a few minuets late (due to the buses on the only road in and out of our neighborhood) and I always heard from him when he had any issues or questions. He is a wonderful person and a extraordinary sitter. My son talks about him almost every day and how much he loves him.”

"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."

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)."
