Booked by 4 families in Lanham, MD

Hello my name is Gabby, I am fun, compassionate, empathetic, and loving. I am an animal lover and a Dog Mom myself. I am a recent Towson University graduate. I am an Information Technology Major, with a passion for problem solving! I have a clean driving record and enjoy going for walks when it’s warm and snuggling up with some hot chocolate and a good book when it's cold. I have 8 years of experience babysitting for children between the ages of 1mo - 13yrs old ( knowledgeable on working with children who are not potty trained.) I am comfortable with light cleaning and have great time management , so schedules are easy to maintain and follow. I am looking forward to bring my love for music, culture, literature, arts/crafts, food, and exploration to your child. I can't wait to talk more and meet you and your little one.

Gabriel was always pleasant and both of my children (12 year old daughter and 9 year old son) and my fur baby LOVED her! I will definitely keep her in mind and/recommend her to my friends!

Booked by 3 families in Lanham, MD

Hey Y’all, I’m Miracle! I hope this finds you well! I offer childcare, pet care (small & tiny dogs/cats) and light housekeeping. I’m currently a Teacher Assistant & have been in the Childcare field going on almost 10 years now. I’ve never worked with infants except for family, but I’ve cared for children 2-years-old to 5/6 years old. I do work during the week from 8:30am - 5:30pm & I’m off on Wednesday’s this Summer. So if you need help just on Wednesday’s, be sure to reach out! I will say because of my time, weekends and nights are the most ideal. I also attend church on Sunday’s so if you don’t mind your little ones going with me, I would love to take them along! But I know that’s asking a lot so after church would be fine. I want to expand my experience and continue growing in the childcare field, so if you could help contribute to that it would mean a lot to me and I would love to take care of your babies. Even I’m not a good fit, please still reach out and let me know. I don’t do well with dogs unless they are permanently tiny/actually small but I do pretty fine with cats 🩵🩶

My oldest daughter said it best when she told me Miracle was “great “! She was quick to establish communication with me and the kids before the job began to put everyone at ease. She stayed in touch with us for the three day booking and was dependable and professional. My kids were initially nervous to be with someone new, but Miracle had a really good connection with them. I would not hesitate to book her 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."

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)."
