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.”

Booked by 3 families in Kensington, MD

Hello families! I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am in college studying for my finance degree from home looking for a childcare job. I find joy in creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive in. One of the experiences that has shaped my passion for childcare is my time working at an aftercare program for a private school called St. John the Evangelist in Silver Spring Maryland. My coworker and I cared for 20 children ages 2-5 daily after school. This role allowed me to interact with children of various ages and backgrounds. It was incredibly rewarding to see the children grow and develop under my care. In addition to my work at the aftercare program, I have several years of experience in babysitting and tutoring. I worked for a family with 3 kids for a year daily ages 5-11. I have also worked for 8 months with a family with 2 boys ages 3 and 5. I am also employed with Aristotle circle tutors and have worked at group homes and with clients tutoring children of all ages and tutored multiple subjects. These experiences have taught me how to connect with children on an individual level, understanding their unique interests and needs. I believe that building a strong rapport with kids is essential in creating a positive and enjoyable sitting experience. I not only prioritize their safety and well-being, but I also enjoy engaging them in fun and educational activities. Whether it's playing games, doing crafts, or helping with homework, I strive to make each moment meaningful and enjoyable.

“Anya is very good with children, my boys had a great time and are asking for more. Will book again! ”

"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."

"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)."
