Booked by 97 families in Laurel, MD

My name is Oumou, I am the kind, creative and silly sitter your children need. Growing up in a large family, I was always given the responsibility to watch children which I truly enjoyed. Seeing how much I was at ease and happy around those kids made me realize that I wanted to make a career out of it in the future. I have had so far 10 years of professional experience which were truly amazing. I have a background in early childhood education and I speak five languages including French. I like going outdoors and getting very involved in whatever the children are doing since it makes me feel like a kids again.

Hello! :) My name is Adaeze and I'm a proud graduate of Towson University. I would love the opportunity to babysit your child or children! I've been caring for kids long before I started getting paid for it, it's always been something I truly enjoy. I'm responsible, mature, reliable, honest, trustworthy, patient, and caring. I do my best to keep children engaged, active, and having fun in a safe environment. I've volunteered at a local childcare center and also had the meaningful experience of caring for children in an orphanage in Nigeria. I've worked with children of all ages for the last 12 years, from newborns to teenagers (up to age 15), and with many families from diverse backgrounds and with different needs. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I take safety very seriously. You can feel confident that your child or children will be in excellent hands- happy, safe, and well cared for! I'd love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs.

“Adaeze is a very kind and reliable! She came through for us in a pinch and sets our mind at ease as first time parents. ”

"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."

"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)."
