Oriane $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Oriane , and I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have experience caring for children from as young as 8 months up to 11 years old. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. My responsibilities have included engaging children in creative activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and maintaining a clean and organized space. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I always aim to make both children and parents feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks when needed. At the moment, I do not drive, but I am reliable with transportation and always make sure to arrive on time. I look forward to supporting your family!

Kihara $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kensington, MD

Hi! My name is Kihara, and I recently graduated from the University of Maryland Global Campus. I am currently offering child care, senior care, and household assistance services. I have been babysitting since I was 16 years old and truly enjoy working with children of all ages — from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. My experience includes school drop-offs and pick-ups, helping with homework and tutoring, organizing crafts and outdoor activities, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. In addition to childcare, I work as a household assistant and can help with cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands to help keep your home running smoothly. I also have personal experience caring for my great-grandmother and am very comfortable providing senior care. I can assist with meal preparation, transportation to appointments, companionship, and daily tasks — and I’m even a great bridge partner! Please note that I am allergic to cats, but I’m more than happy to work with families who have dogs.

"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)."
