Booked by 17 families in Mount Rainier, MD

Hi! I'm Kathryn - kids call me KP. Friends have also referred to me as Aunt Kathryn, Baby Whisperer and Better Mommy. (That last one comes from a pretty specific sense of humor!). My very first job was babysitting when I was 11. I worked my way through high school and college as a nanny, babysitter and camp counselor. Professionally I’m a consultant (political, program, operations), but I also want to remain a camp counselor forever so I spend a significant amount of my time helping families in the DC area. Some ways I can help: -babysitting -cooking in your home -overnights or multi-day caretaking -kids’ parties - arts and crafts, cooking or baking, games and simulations, wilderness, theater and movement, swimming pool -custom cakes for kids -driving kids around -lice treatment Message me to talk about any of these - I have references and examples of recent engagements for all of them. I love newborns - I earned the "baby whisperer" nickname because babies stop crying when I hold them. Many friends have asked me to be their new baby's first babysitter. I have spent more than a few hours in the NICU with friends' new babies and I can handle very young and special needs babies. I also love older kids - I do arts & crafts, baking and cooking, dance parties, field trips, nature & outside time, etc. Two of my favorite secret tricks are pipe cleaners and the Ministry of Silly Walks. Nutrition and health are serious hobbies for me - I am a great home cook and a registered yoga teacher. Cleaning isn't my favorite but I like to take care of people, and I love seeing the relief on people's faces when I finish some laundry or dishes or other cleaning task they're dreading. Mostly, I love meeting humans of all ages wherever they are and engaging on their level. I'm loving, compassionate, non-judgmental and fun. I'm also super no-nonsense and really great at boundaries and expectations. I'd love to meet your family!

Booked by 9 families in Mount Rainier, MD

Hello, I'm Sharonda! I recently began a doctoral program studying curriculum and instruction. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching English from Trinity Washington University, and love enriching literacy activities that engage learners in a variety of ways. I've tutored, taught, and volunteered with elementary and secondary aged children, locally and internationally, for the past 9 years. I love providing childcare because I find interacting with children to be joyous and rewarding. Children are adventurous, have a great sense of humor, and bring many opportunities for learning and exploration because of their curiosity. As one who is passionate about education, building healthy connections with children is an essential practice. In my spare time, I love creative writing (short stories, essays, and poetry), reading (especially in libraries, boutique bookstores), crafting (jewelry making, drawing/coloring, and DIY projects), spending time outdoors, and occasionally watching television programs about travel and nature (I'm also a Marvel fan). If there is any additional information you'd like to receive, please don't hesitate to request it.

“Sharonda was a wonderful caretaker for my toddler! Incredibly easy to communicate with and she helped my toddler get to bed, even when she’s going through a difficult sleep time. She provided awesome updates of hanging out with my daughter. I look forward to having Sharonda around again! ”

Booked by 11 families in Mount Rainier, MD

Hi, I'm Mame, but my family and friends call me Coco — feel free to do the same! I'm a trilingual caregiver based in Washington, DC, fluent in English, French, and Wolof. I am warm, dependable, and genuinely love working with children, seniors, and families. I bring a calm, nurturing energy to every home while keeping things organized and running smoothly. With a background in coordination and management, I am highly responsible, punctual, and great at multitasking. I am fully open to Home Manager roles where I can take ownership of daily household operations including cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands, scheduling, and keeping the home running efficiently so families can focus on what matters most. I am also comfortable with live-in arrangements, overnight stays, sleep-in positions, and overtime hours. I understand that family needs don't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule and I am happy to be flexible and go above and beyond for the right family. Families can count on me to treat their home and loved ones with the utmost care, respect, and professionalism. Whether you need occasional help or a dedicated full-time presence, I am ready to show up and make a real difference for your family.

“Great communication, thorough and professional. We will certainly continue to book.”

"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)."
