Hello! My name is Caitlin and I am a recent college graduate of Howard University on a Pre Med Track, attempting to become a Pediatrician in the future. I am amazing with kids I started a reading club for younger kids in my community back home in Michigan, I also have tutored elementary, middle, and high school kids in my community for many years in mathematics and English. Along with this I play two instruments, the piano and string bass, where I’ve competed and played for numerous charities. I am an avid volunteer and love to help others! I grew up babysitting my neighbors’ kids back in my hometown in Michigan. I’ve always been great with kids of all ages and I am very responsible, respectful, and dutiful in my work! Aside from babysitting, I have also worked as an American Red Cross certified lifeguard and swim instructor with CPR & AED certifications! In this field I have worked with children as young as 6 months! I believe that I am more than capable of ensuring your child’s safety!

Kids immediately loved her and she did a great job. They felt happy and safe.

Booked by 14 families in Riverdale, MD

Hello families my name is Nakya and I was born and raise in Washington DC. I am very excited to have the opportunity to be part of your family. I have work in the daycare facilities for over 14 years with 10 years experience as a CDA licensed childcare provider specializing in the care of children ranging in age from newborns to teens. I am CPR and first aide certified with special early child care training. also working towards fulfilling my passion in special-education. My favorite Learning activity to do with the children is the five senses I loved this activity because it gives me a chance to watch the children explore their sense while learning all about their five sense. I also enjoy reading, arts and crafts, and engaging in fun creative indoor/outdoor activities that children will find entertaining and fulfilling. My hobbies are writing poetry, reading books and spending time with my family and friends... working with children is my passion and I loved every bit of it.

Nakya was our first care taker for our son (and our first as parents), from the time he was 4 months old to 18 months. She was especially sweet & gentle with a young infant, which was very endearing. As our son grew -- and we added a second family to a nanny share -- Nakya's experience with a wide range of ages became very helpful. She had respectful tips to offer us as the boys grew and developed. Adult-to-adult, Nakya is engaging, energetic, and talkative. And just as she had helpful advice to give, she was very open to feedback. The only reason we don't still employ Nakya is the covid-19 pandemic; we don't currently need childcare. Thank you for everything, Nakya!

Leslye is WONDERFUL! Her communication before, while, and after watching my 11-month daughter was great. She is also incredibly caring and responsible, and my daughter was immediately comfortable with her. Leslye made sure they had a fun day - including taking our daughter to the park and the waterfront to see the ducks and birds. I'm really excited to have Leslye come back and any other family would be lucky to have her watch their children as 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."

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)."
