Charlotte $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Potomac, MD

Hi, my name is Charlotte, and I am looking for families who need date-night sitters or someone to call when needed! I am a college sophomore from Richmond, VA. I have been babysitting for 8 years and have experience with kids ages 1-15. I am comfortable looking after multiple children at once. I don't have a car, but I am happy to take public transportation. I do have a valid driver's license and am comfortable driving a provided car. I also have my RedCross First Aid/CPR/AED certification. With my families in Richmond, I always ensure that the kids are entertained, happy, and safe. I love making art and crafts, I will happily play any game or sport with the kids I sit with, I love going on walks and spending time outside, and dance parties are a must too! I'm very flexible and easy! Please feel free to reach out!

Hazel $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am patient, creative, and approachable, with a knack for engaging kids in fun, educational activities like outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and always provide parents with regular updates via text or phone call, tailoring my communication to your preferences. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. Speaking both English and Spanish, I am eager to connect with your child and create a positive, enriching experience. My goal is to be more than just a caregiver; I want to be someone your child looks forward to seeing each day.

"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)."
