Booked by 19 families in Laurel, MD

Hello! My name is Marley, and I am an experienced Family Assistant and Household Manager with over seven years of experience supporting busy families and managing the day-to-day operations of private households. While my career began in childcare, my work has evolved into comprehensive household support. I help families stay organized and efficient through calendar management, scheduling appointments, coordinating vendors and service providers, running errands, grocery shopping, meal preparation, travel support, household organization, inventory management, pet care, and special projects. I currently support families in the Washington, DC area and have experience working alongside housekeepers, tutors, therapists, and other household professionals to ensure daily operations run smoothly. I pride myself on being proactive, dependable, and resourceful, with the ability to anticipate needs and solve problems before they become stressful. My childcare background remains one of my greatest strengths. Having worked with children ranging from infancy through the teen years, including neurodivergent children, I understand the importance of flexibility, patience, discretion, and clear communication. While my primary focus is household management and family support, I am comfortable providing occasional childcare when needed. Families describe me as organized, warm, trustworthy, and highly adaptable. I am fluent in Spanish, comfortable working independently, and committed to creating systems that help households run efficiently. I am currently available for daytime Family Assistant, Household Manager, and Estate Support roles, including Mondays during business hours. References are available upon request. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can support your household.

Booked by 3 families in Laurel, 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!

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.

Booked by 4 families in Laurel, 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 1 family in Laurel, MD

For over 20 years, I've dedicated myself to nurturing children's development. My passion stems from witnessing their growth firsthand and wanting to positively impact their lives. Previous babysitting experiences solidified my path. I am patient, creative, and friendly, building trust with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I have some college education. I also work as a Registered Behavioval Technician as well. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. Communication with you is key; I follow your preferred method, offering verbal updates and regular texts. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I am also CPR and First Aid trained. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I'm eager to bring my experience and caring nature to your family, creating a safe and fun environment for your children to thrive.

She’s honestly the best nanny we’ve ever had. Super hands-on, patient, and really tuned in with the kids. She gives them her full attention, keeps them engaged, and cares for them like they’re her own. We always feel safe and at ease when she’s with them. Truly a blessing.

"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)."
