Booked by 9 families in Riverdale, 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.

Booked by 5 families in Riverdale, MD

Hello! I’m Stephanie. I have over 14 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Most of my recent experience has been focused on infant care and the toddler years, including successful potty training. I love keeping kids active and creative through reading books to spark imagination, outdoor exploration, fun crafts, and hands-on educational play. I believe in patient, positive communication and always prioritize ensuring a safe, nurturing environment. I look forward to discussing how I can support your family’s needs!

We have had an excellent experience with this babysitter and highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dependable, knowledgeable, and confident with children. She is incredibly reliable, always arriving on time and following through on every commitment. One of her greatest strengths is behavior management. She sets clear expectations, remains calm under pressure, and is firm yet fair, creating an environment where children feel secure and understand boundaries. She is also an outstanding tutor who explains concepts clearly, adapts to our child's learning style, and encourages independent thinking. She truly cares about helping children succeed while maintaining a structured, positive atmosphere. We trust her completely and appreciate the professionalism, patience, and dedication she brings every time she works with our family.

Hi! My name is Tasheni Mpundu and I have been providing childcare for 7 years. I am currently a student at the University of Southern California studying Political Science and Public Relations and Advertising. I have always had a love children since I was a child and have loved working in all types of childcare and would love to support any families needing assistance. Growing up, I have learned from home how to care for children, cook, clean, and ensure a safe space which made me become the responsible and reliable sitter I am today. I started volunteering at orphanages while I lived in Kenya, babysitting for members in my family when I was younger, and today I have developed strong relationships with multiple families across the DMV area. I have built strong relationships with families throughout the past 5 summers consistently. I am fully vaccinated and I am also comfortable with pets as well as housekeeping. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to learn more about me. I am so excited to meet you and your bundles of joy!

Tasheni arrived on time, communicated her ETA, and took great care of our kids. My daughter requested she come back again!

Hi! My name is Bator and I attended the University of Maryland. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I’m trilingual and love teaching kids French through simple lessons, games, and conversation. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children and can help with homework, crafts, meal prep, school pickups, and routines. I am also comfortable with pets. I’m comfortable supporting seniors with meals, companionship, transportation, and daily tasks. I can cook, clean, organize, and run errands. Families describe me as patient, reliable, and caring, and I love creating a warm and safe environment.

Bator was awesome. Connected with our daughter right away. Did activities with her. Kept to the bedtime schedule and sent updates. Would definitely use again!

"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)."
