Kayla White Plains
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating safe, positive environments for children and families. I have experience working with children through my background as a Child and Youth Program Assistant, where I helped supervise activities, support daily routines, encourage positive behavior, and create a welcoming space for kids of different ages and personalities. I’m someone who understands the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for children. I always strive to make kids feel comfortable, supported, and heard while also making sure parents feel confident and at ease. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, reading, and helping with homework or routines when needed. Families would describe me as calm, attentive, organized, and reliable. I’m very patient, adaptable, and able to stay positive even during busy or stressful moments. I believe every child deserves kindness, encouragement, and a safe environment where they can feel happy and secure. In addition to childcare experience, I also have a background in administrative and support roles, which has helped me develop strong communication, responsibility, and time management skills. I take pride in being dependable, respectful, and someone families can trust. I’m currently continuing my professional growth and working toward building a stable and meaningful career centered around helping others. Whether you need assistance with childcare, supervision, routines, light household support, or simply someone who genuinely cares, I would love the opportunity to help support your family. I look forward to connecting with you!

Booked by 2 families in La Plata, MD

My name is Ashley, and I’m 34 years old. I have five years of experience working at a daycare, where I cared for children of all ages. Even before that, my passion for childcare began in my teenage years—I regularly babysat for neighbors, my mom’s friends, and of course, my own younger siblings. Coming from a big family, I naturally took on the role of caregiver, which sparked my love for working with children.

Olivia Welcome
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I’m CPR and AED certified and spent over 4 years working as a lifeguard, where I learned how to keep children safe, stay calm in emergencies, and create a fun, positive environment. I also have hands-on childcare experience from babysitting my sisters’ children, who are currently 1, 2, and 7 years old. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable caring for children of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading books, helping with homework, or sticking to bedtime routines, I strive to make every child feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently looking for a full-time position with a wonderful family and would love to build a long-term relationship with parents who are looking for someone they can trust. I understand how important it is to know your children are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own family. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting you and your family.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
