Brandon $10 per hour for 1 child

My name is Brandon. A few years ago, I started my first job working at a Christian daycare in 2013. Since then, I have always tried my best to support and care for my nieces and nephews, learning through every experience. I know I am not the perfect caregiver, and I am not claiming to be the best. I understand that working with children takes patience, understanding, and a willingness to continue learning. My goal is to keep growing my skills so I can better support the next generation and help children discover their strengths. If you are looking for a tutor or mentor who can help children explore technology, design, creativity, and problem-solving skills, I want to be someone who encourages them to discover what they enjoy. Sometimes children just need guidance to find their interests, build confidence, and develop habits that help them succeed. I am always working to improve my teaching abilities. Some people have told me that my teaching skills need more development, and I take that as an opportunity to learn and grow. Through platforms like ADPList, I have had the chance to teach, mentor, and support individuals while continuing to improve my communication and leadership skills. My passion is especially focused on supporting children and individuals with disabilities who may struggle with creative activities or expressing themselves in school. Sometimes they do not need someone to change who they are; they just need someone to help them find their confidence, reconnect with their creativity, and get back into the flow of learning. I believe every person has hidden abilities and talents. My goal is to help students recognize their potential, explore their creativity, and believe that their challenges do not define what they can achieve. Additional Skills & Willingness to Learn - Committed to learning how to properly and safely change diapers. - Willing to help with household cleaning, including washing dishes and keeping shared spaces tidy. - Happy to assist with cleaning up after children, including toys, play areas, and activity spaces. - Able to help with light household tasks that support a safe, clean, and organized environment for children. - Always willing to learn new caregiving skills and follow each family's routines and preferences.

Marilyn 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

My deepest foundation in caregiving was forged at home, where I grew up taking on the vital role of caring for my younger sister with Down Syndrome. This experience instilled in me an unparalleled level of patience, personalized attention, and advocacy. My commitment to the special needs community continued as I later served on the board for a local Special Olympics chapter, championing inclusion and well-being. From that beginning, I became the trusted caregiver for my community. I have been babysitting my whole life, recently stepping up for an extended, crucial four-day period (including overnights) for two young children under 10, ensuring their mother had a restorative break. My expertise truly shines in infant care: I spent four months as a dedicated live-in nanny. I volunteered for over three years, specializing in the care and development of babies from newborn to one year old. I approach every child with confidence, competence, and joy. I am happy to provide glowing references that attest to my reliability and the genuine positive impact I've had on families. I am eager to bring my lifetime of dedicated, motivational care to your family!

Marilyn is a wonderful babysitter. She watched both of our new babies when they were born and as toddlers. She is so so sweet with kids and an absolute natural especially with babies. She loves children and is so tender-hearted with them. She is a joy to be around and her sweet and bubbly personality definitely rubs off on the kids.

Booked by 1 family in Mount Rainier, MD

Hi, I’m Karina, a 29-year-old nanny with over nine years of experience caring for children of all ages, including in multi-child households. I’m CPR and First Aid certified (infant included) and currently looking for a full-time nanny position. I’m an active, hands-on caregiver who loves planning fun, engaging activities—like playground trips, playdates, library visits, and more. I believe in the importance of routines and always aim to create a safe, happy, and structured environment for the kids I care for. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with friends and family, skateboarding, exploring new spots, and doing photography. I’d love the chance to support your family and be a positive presence in your child’s life.

Grace $27 per hour for 1 child

My name is Grace, I have over 8 years of experience, where I prioritize imaginative play that fosters learning and creativity. I've lived in New York for most of my life but have called DC home for about two years now. Outside of work, I enjoy teaching myself how to play the trumpet, running, learning new languages, and starting new ventures like my soup business. I also volunteer on Saturday mornings delivering food and love joining various clubs to explore different interests. I'm happy to help with cooking, cleaning, and bedtime routines, and with a reliable car, I can assist in any pick ups/drop offs as needed.

"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)."
