Booked by 1 family in Lanham, MD

Hello! I'm Tina, a 27-year-old nanny with over 4 years of experience in childcare. I've mostly worked with infants and toddlers, but I'm also good with older kids. I'm vaccinated and don't smoke, I'm also an animal lover. I'm patient, friendly, loyal and hard working, I love caring for the little ones, making activities and game for them to have fun and learn. As I speak English and Spanish fluently, I love to teach them to talk in both. I’m also very flexible regarding work time, being happy to accommodate to the family’s needs! I'm starting my search for my next family as the little one I'm working with right now will start school in fall! I have great references and I'm allowed to work in the US.

Booked by 1 family in Lanham, MD

My name is Magatte. I am a college student with a strong passion for working with children. Being a nanny is something I really love. Everyday is different, which makes the experience even more special. I enjoy learning and exploring the world through the eyes of a child, it's one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

Patricia $28 per hour for 1 child

Helloooo! My name is Patricia and I just moved to NY after graduating with a B.S in Chemistry and Sustainability. I am offering child, senior care and tutoring services! I've been helping care for my nieces and nephews since I was twelve and now l am twenty-three, so looking after little ones is practically second nature to me. I also worked as a Sunday School teacher for three years and I worked with ages 4-9. In addition to childcare, I have experience working as a caregiver for seniors, primarily focusing on companionship and daily support. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I was also a Certified Medication Technician (CMT), so safety and proper care are always my top priorities. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me crafting outfits, lost in literature, or out exploring with friends. I genuinely love being around kids and bring a lot of that creative energy into my sitting

Sahara $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I bring extensive hands-on childcare experience with children from infancy through age 12 and genuinely enjoy supporting kids at every developmental stage. My most recent babysitting role involved caring for two preschool-aged children (ages 4 and 5), where I regularly handled school drop-offs and pickups, prepared meals and snacks, supervised outdoor play, and helped maintain a fun but structured daily routine for 6 months. I am currently a psychology student at University of Maryland, College Park with research experience in child development and attachment, which has given me a deeper understanding of children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs. This background helps me connect with children in a patient, attentive, and developmentally supportive way. I love creating engaging experiences for kids through play, outdoor activities, sports, reading, and creative activities, while also being a dependable and caring presence families can trust. Although I’m new to this platform, I’m excited to build meaningful relationships with families and provide reliable, high-quality 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."

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)."
