Phindi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Phindi (the ‘H’ is silent), I'm a dependable, patient, and caring caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged children. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. In addition to raising my own child, I have cared for my grandmother, assisting with companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and daily living tasks. This experience strengthened my compassion, patience, and ability to provide attentive care to people of all ages. I also have experience with house sitting and can assist with light housekeeping, laundry, meal and snack preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, organizing, pet care, and keeping the home tidy while you're away. I enjoy reading with children, arts and crafts, educational activities, outdoor play, and helping them reach developmental milestones in a fun and positive way. I often volunteer at my child's school during book fairs and other school events, where I work with students, teachers, and families. I am also pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Cloud and Information Technology, which has strengthened my organization, communication, and problem-solving skills. Families can count on me to be reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing compassionate, dependable care and treating every child and home with the same respect and attention I would give my own.

Booked by 8 families in Mechanicsville, MD

Hi, my name is Brittany! I am a recent Howard University graduate and am currently working in finance. I am offering childcare, pet care, non-medical senior care, and housing services. I love children and have been babysitting since I was 8 years old. My responsibilities consisted of assisting with homework, meal preparations, changing diapers, feeding new borns, and bedtime routines. Among these, I also incorporated educational activities, arts and crafts, and outdoor games. In addition to babysitting the children of family members and family friends, I also volunteered at Rita Bright and Family Youth Center in Washington, D.C. from my freshman year to graduation. I was apart of a mentorship program where we would volunteer at Rita Bright and mentor children after school, assist them with their homework, take part in extracurricular activities/sports, while also providing them the opportunity to vent/release any built up tension they may have. In high school, I worked at the YMCA in San Diego as a volleyball coach. As a Volleyball Coach at the YMCA, I am responsible for teaching fundamental volleyball skills, including serving, passing, setting, and teamwork, to athletes of varying ages and skill levels. I plan and lead engaging practices, promote sportsmanship and positive attitudes, and ensure a safe, inclusive environment for all participants. Additionally, I support player development by providing constructive feedback, organizing drills, and preparing teams for games and recreational competition. I am comfortable with senior care and am willing to help prepare meals, picking up prescriptions, provide transportation, or even just provide some friendly care. I have been assisting with my grandmother for as long as I can remember and would love to help out in any way I can. In addition to loving children, I always love animals. I have been a pet owner to my baby Dakota for five years. I enjoy taking her for walks, playing at the park, or even just joining her in the backyard to sun bathe. And at the end of it all, she’s my cuddle baby. I would love to provide the same love to your fur baby when you’re away.

“Brittany was quick to respond to a last-minute request. She pet-sat my two dogs during the 4th of July weekend - which is an added noise stressor for my already anxious dog. Brittany was attentive and patient with my babies. My xolo, who is weary of strangers, warmed up to her. We are super appreciative of Brittany and would highly recommend for hire.”

"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)."
