Booked by 1 family in Lanham, MD

Hi - My name is Olivia and I've been offering pet sitting, dog walking, house sitting, and general errands for my neighbors for over 4 years. I love being a dog sitter, taking dogs to the park and on hikes in Rock Creek Park, and meeting all of our neighbors. I also have a car so open to running errands and dropping off or picking up children from school.

Rebecca $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m Mexican-American, very fond of both kids and pets. I grew up around a huge family. Being the eldest daughter, I took care of both my baby sisters and baby cousins. I love taking care of people. I was my mom’s primary caregiver when she had to have a life saving surgery in 2022. I believe I’m very empathetic, compassionate, and that I get along with both kids and pets very well. I try to make every caring experience comfortable and unique, adapted to the needs of the person or animal.

"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)."
