I have been in childcare for 5 years. I am the oldest of 3 siblings as well. I have received the all star staff award for my gymnastics work with youth during summer camp of ‘20. I have also received the staff of the month award at Cresthill for my imaginative play in ‘19. I work really hard to make what I do enjoyable not only for me, but for the kiddos as well. Recently transitioned from littles to teaching middle schoolers.❤️

Hello! :) My name is Adaeze and I'm a proud graduate of Towson University. I would love the opportunity to babysit your child or children! I've been caring for kids long before I started getting paid for it, it's always been something I truly enjoy. I'm responsible, mature, reliable, honest, trustworthy, patient, and caring. I do my best to keep children engaged, active, and having fun in a safe environment. I've volunteered at a local childcare center and also had the meaningful experience of caring for children in an orphanage in Nigeria. I've worked with children of all ages for the last 12 years, from newborns to teenagers (up to age 15), and with many families from diverse backgrounds and with different needs. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I take safety very seriously. You can feel confident that your child or children will be in excellent hands- happy, safe, and well cared for! I'd love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs.

Booked by 37 families in Riverdale, MD

Hey I’m Martina, I can’t wait to help out your family! I am a first born girl with 3 siblings. I grew up in an extended family, with cousins, nieces and nephews who I took care of as well. One of my nephews was non-verbal growing up, so I have experience in that field as I took care of him. My love for kids inspired me to work in a daycare for 3 years until I had to join full-time college and instead resorted to babysitting gigs. In the past year, I was babysitting for those I knew, but would like to step out there and help out new people. I love introducing children to new concepts and ideas of art, language, social and emotional skills all through open ended play. I love watching children learn and discover through play. I love to clean and cook, so I would love to help out with household services if needed. I have experience with interacting with people from different backgrounds and cultures, so that makes me easily get along with anyone. My friends call me loyal and trustworthy. I am a problem solver, I have great vibes and most importantly, kids love me too and love interacting with me. I am also hygienic and health conscious. I hope to hear from you soon and help to support your family with care.

Martina was very professional, kind and interactive with my son! She took initiative to ask great questions, maintain my infant’s routine and keep him engaged. Her calm and confident demeanor was reassuring as a parent. I would definitely hire Martina again and look forward to having her support in the near future!

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!

Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with our two daughters! Can easily recommend her!

"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)."
