Hello Families, My name is Eboni and I’m 31 years old. I’ve been babysitting and working with kids since I was 14 years old. I’ve use urbansitter in the years of 2[removed] and took a break to travel and focus on my career in the government. I wanted to come back because I’ve seen that with the events of things going on in the world I know that moms and dads need much needed breaks and resets. I love spending time with the kiddos and I also don’t mind tending to your pets, plants, doing household chores and even cooking dinner or helping with meal prep.

My name is Oumou, I am the kind, creative and silly sitter your children need. Growing up in a large family, I was always given the responsibility to watch children which I truly enjoyed. Seeing how much I was at ease and happy around those kids made me realize that I wanted to make a career out of it in the future. I have had so far 10 years of professional experience which were truly amazing. I have a background in early childhood education and I speak five languages including French. I like going outdoors and getting very involved in whatever the children are doing since it makes me feel like a kids again.

Booked by 26 families in Kettering, MD

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, with 5 years of experience as a kindergarten teacher in Costa Rica and 10 years of experience as a nanny in the United States. I’ve had the joy of caring for the same wonderful family for nearly five years. My current commute is a 45 minute drive, so I am looking for a new position closer to home ideally within a 15-minute drive so I can continue doing the work I love with a little more balance in my day.

“Melina arrived on time and just had the most calming presence. We felt totally at ease with her watching our 22 mos old son. We love that she speaks Spanish as our son is learning Spanish and English. She was reading English written books to him in Spanish and spoke Spanish I think the duration of watching him which we appreciated! Thank you so much, Melina! We’d love to have you back :)”

Hey I’m Martina, I can’t wait to help out your family! I am a first born girl with 3 siblings. I grew up in an extended family, with cousins, nieces and nephews who I took care of as well. One of my nephews was non-verbal growing up, so I have experience in that field as I took care of him. My love for kids inspired me to work in a daycare for 3 years until I had to join full-time college and instead resorted to babysitting gigs. In the past year, I was babysitting for those I knew, but would like to step out there and help out new people. I love introducing children to new concepts and ideas of art, language, social and emotional skills all through open ended play. I love watching children learn and discover through play. I love to clean and cook, so I would love to help out with household services if needed. I have experience with interacting with people from different backgrounds and cultures, so that makes me easily get along with anyone. My friends call me loyal and trustworthy. I am a problem solver, I have great vibes and most importantly, kids love me too and love interacting with me. I am also hygienic and health conscious. I hope to hear from you soon and help to support your family with care.

"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)."
