Booked by 10 families in Lanham, MD

Hi! I’m Taylor , a reliable, energetic, and patient sitter with 8 years of experience working with kids of all ages. I’m EMT-trained and CPR/First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. I’ve spent the past 8 years creating fun, engaging environments where kids can learn and play. I’ve provided tutoring, after-school care, overnight supervision, and safe transportation to and from activities. I love being creative whether it’s doing crafts, playing outside, or using our imaginations. I’ve worked with children from 6 months to 12 years in both home and school settings, and I also have professional experience through a babysitting company here in the DMV area. I’m passionate about safety, connection, community and creating joyful experiences for kids and I look forward to working with your family! Some of my certifications includes BLS , CPR and AED training , 150 NICU volunteer hours working with infants and premies getting them to gestational age milestones , over 100 hours in classroom trainings working with ages from Kindergarten to 4th grade

Taylor was available on very short notice and helped us watch our sick 8 month old for a workday. She was punctual, friendly, and our daughter was very happy interacting with her all day. We would definitely hire Taylor again!

Hi, I'm Ta'Nia, and I am so excited to meet you! I'm attending college for Nursing and planning on going into NICU when I graduate. I have been a nanny for four years and have worked with newborns to teenagers. I have experience with multiples. I am CPR certified and recertify every year. My favorite children's book is 'Oh the Places You'll Go.' I love being adventurous; a personal goal of mine is to see all 50 states. I have 15 left! I include an outdoor activity whenever I'm watching kiddos. I can't wait to meet your family!

Ta’Nia was an exceptional sitter. Responsible, caring, fun, organized. She’s great at keeping the kids on a schedule, doing a variety of activities, and developing a strong relationship with them. She’s fantastic. 10000% recommend.

Hi my name is Ashley I'm 29 years old and live in Laurel, MD. I've been a nanny for 4 years and am currently looking for part time, weekend, date night jobs. I moved to GA from MD just over a year ago and was a full time nanny to an almost 2 year old little girl and her 4 month old sister and am now back in Maryland. I was a nanny/babysitter back home in MD. Babysitting since the age of 13 and started nannying around maybe 24 years old. I received my bachelors degree from Bowie State University in MD in Child and Adolescent Studies, and my 45 clock hour infant/toddler certification from Prince George's Community College. I worked at a daycare center for a year after graduating from college, working with children 6 weeks-12 years, primarily with the infants and toddlers, 6 weeks-2 years, so I am comfortable taking care of multiple children of all ages. If you are looking for someone to care for your child(ren) for a date night or just a break, contact me! I am very patient, kind, nurturing, and fun! =)

Our boys had a great time!

Booked by 9 families in Lanham, MD

Hello, I'm Sharonda! I recently began a doctoral program studying curriculum and instruction. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching English from Trinity Washington University, and love enriching literacy activities that engage learners in a variety of ways. I've tutored, taught, and volunteered with elementary and secondary aged children, locally and internationally, for the past 9 years. I love providing childcare because I find interacting with children to be joyous and rewarding. Children are adventurous, have a great sense of humor, and bring many opportunities for learning and exploration because of their curiosity. As one who is passionate about education, building healthy connections with children is an essential practice. In my spare time, I love creative writing (short stories, essays, and poetry), reading (especially in libraries, boutique bookstores), crafting (jewelry making, drawing/coloring, and DIY projects), spending time outdoors, and occasionally watching television programs about travel and nature (I'm also a Marvel fan). If there is any additional information you'd like to receive, please don't hesitate to request it.

Sharonda was a wonderful caretaker for my toddler! Incredibly easy to communicate with and she helped my toddler get to bed, even when she’s going through a difficult sleep time. She provided awesome updates of hanging out with my daughter. I look forward to having Sharonda around again!

Booked by 24 families in Lanham, MD

Hi! As the oldest of three children and a previous after-school instructor, writing tutor, and nanny, I am a caregiver at heart. Raised in Mexico and later Las Vegas, NV, I am fluent in Spanish, currently a law student, love exercising, and hold a passion for cooking delicious (and traditional) Mexican cuisine. As a former tutor, I am passionate about the art of language and writing. I have experience tutoring Kindergarten through college level students and believe every child deserves individualized care and respect. My caregiving experience is vast, from serving as a formal nanny, to raising my own younger siblings with attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and care. I further believe every home deserves respect, and offer housekeeping services as well. I am committed to serving 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)."
