Anna $25 per hour for 1 child

I've had extensive experience with children in a variety of professional capacities (babysitting, nanny, tutor, yoga teacher) and have a young adult in college. In the past several years, I have worked with a few local families after school. It's a win-win for me having something I look forward to on my daily schedule and for families to have a reliable, mature caregiver the kids enjoy spending time with. I particularly like working with tweens and teens and am happy to shuttle to and from school, home, and activities.

Tania 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Booked by 1 family in Kensington, MD

Hello! My name is Tania. I have 5+ years of experience caring for children of all ages! Families describe me as reliable, calm, and great with routines. I have worked through care.com & at Loving Care daycare for 3 years as a lead teacher. I’m a creative soul who loves planning arts, crafts, and fun games to keep kids engaged and happy. I'm fully CPR/First Aid certified, ServSafe trained for safe meals, and have a professional background in dentistry, real estate, and social work. So your little ones (and pets!) are in incredibly safe & clean hands. Let's connect!

“Tania was absolutely wonderful and took amazing care of my cats while I was away for over two weeks. She visited twice a day without fail, spent time playing with them, cleaned their litter box, and reliably administered medication to one of my cats. She also sent pictures after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away and let me see how the cats were doing. She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and communicative, and she had no trouble navigating my apartment building or getting in and out for each visit. She also kept everything clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, I could tell that she genuinely cared about my cats and went beyond simply stopping by to take care of the essentials. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a clean apartment. I would absolutely recommend Tania to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring cat sitter. I would definitely book her again!”

Julieth 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Julieth and I am currently student. I am offering childcare services and have over two years of experience caring for children aged 3 to 10. My responsibilities include preparing meals, driving to appointments, morning routines, helping with homework, and recreational activities. I can drive or perform other tasks. I would be happy to care for dogs and cats!

“We feel so grateful to have had Julieth as our part-time nanny. She is kind, patient, and incredibly attentive with the kids, and we always felt completely at ease knowing they were with her.”

Sarah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Sarah, a Drexel grad in Child & Family Psychology with experience as a behavior technician, nanny, and au pair. I’ve worked closely with children with autism, ADD, and Asperger’s, so I bring lots of patience, understanding, and structure. I’m bubbly, creative, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities, cooking, and learning through play. I’m great with routines, helping little ones feel safe and confident, and supporting busy households with pets and light home help too.

Panyaphon $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families, my name is Panya. I'm a 26-year-old registered nurse working in a critical care setting. Before becoming a nurse, I was an Au Pair, Nanny, and Senior caregiver. I have three months of experience in the level 3 NICU unit in my last semester of nursing school. I love working with kids and dream of becoming a mom one day. I have experience taking care of two sets of infant/toddler twins and also used to care for five kids at once. I'm willing to give you a reference. Thank you!

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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)."
