$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Potomac, MD

Caring and enthusiastic grandmother with so many years of experience raising all my grandchildren. I am patient, adaptable and comfortable supervising more than one kid and hoping to better take advantage of my skill set in a hands-on care taking role. Also, I am an impeccable cook and willing to do that as well. I speak Farsi as a first language and understand English well, but my speaking skills are at an intermediate level. I hold a CPR and First Aid Certification

Ms. Touran has been wonderful with our newborn! I was at first hesitant to have a babysitter over for a newborn baby, but Ms. Touran was very experienced and trustworthy. I got my much-needed rest while she took care of the baby. I will definitely book her again! ☺

Yesenia 3 reviews
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am an experienced Nanny/Overnight Care, household manager/housekeeper,pet care I have experience working with children from ages newborn to 16 years old. I have completed early childhood classes 1 and 2, I learned about child development and milestones in children ages 0 to preschool years. I assisted and observed children in several classrooms, these classrooms included: infants, preschool, school age children. I learned how to make my own lessons plans, I am self experience. I have experience working with multiple children at a time and twins, I have experience as a night nanny/mother's helper/working with special needs children. References upon request I work with an agency but I am looking for a position with them or independently. Thank you

Yesenia cared for our son from 14 to 19 months, and she was a wonderful nanny — caring, loving, honest, and trustworthy. She helped him explore his interests and took real pleasure in every part of his daily routine. She was a good communicator and always willing to lend a helping hand - especially at times when we needed it the most! We’re so grateful to have had her in our lives. We’re relocating to the West Coast, or we would have happily continued working with her. We recommend her without hesitation.

Thanat 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of childcare experience including 2 years as an Au pair. I love being around children, and I am so obviously enjoyed interacting with them. I am responsible, focus, gentle, neat and be on time. I am full vaccinated. I have my own transportation and would love to discuss job responsibilities/expectations

Benz (Thanat) is amazing! He took care of my son, 5 days a week from ages 2-3 and has become part of the family. My son tells me frequently how much he loves Benz and how Benz plays the best games. He is reliable, caring, and can match energy with the calmest or wildest of kids. I was nervous how my son would do switching from all female care takers (other than his Dad) to a male sitter/nanny and I can say Benz was perfect. They would go on daily walks through the neighborhood and he kept my son happily entertained while we worked from home. Any family that gets to work with Benz is lucky and we are looking forward to our special Benz visits! Coming back to update, after having several different nanny/sitters since my son started preschool, I have really come to appreciate Benz even more. He is amazing reliable and responsible. In the year he was with us, he was never more than a few minuets late (due to the buses on the only road in and out of our neighborhood) and I always heard from him when he had any issues or questions. He is a wonderful person and a extraordinary sitter. My son talks about him almost every day and how much he loves him.

Booked by 3 families in Potomac, MD

Hello my name is Juanita and I've been a nanny, babysitter and teacher for 15 years. I have experience with caring for children between the ages of 3mos.-13yrs.old(some children with special needs). I've also worked in three different day cares and volunteered in 1st and 5th grade elementary school classes. I am what people may call a "traveling nanny". I travel anywhere in the U.S. with families. If you're interested in my services, I can provide you with as many references as you may need. Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Juanita did a great job watching my son when he was home sick from school. He was really fussy and she dealt with it very well.

"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."

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)."
