Brinel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Brinel. I’m a caring, responsible, patient, and friendly person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love getting to know their personalities, playing with them, doing fun activities, and creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can feel happy and cared for. My childcare experience comes from caring for my nieces, nephews, and younger family members. I’m comfortable helping with meals, playtime, daily routines, and keeping children safe and entertained. I’m attentive to each child’s needs and I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust. I’m a native Spanish speaker and I also speak English. I’m dependable, respectful, and willing to learn and follow each family’s routines and preferences. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted babysitter for a family and provide their children with caring, attentive, and reliable support. 💕

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Riverdale, MD

Hi - My name is Dili and I'm currently a master’s student at American University. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 15 years old. Though I’m newer to professional child care, I have experience babysitting within my family, always being the designated sitter. I'm excited to bring my positive attitude, creativity, and patience skills to families. I grew up with a single mom for half of my life and know how important having a sitter can be for families. My nana was one of my best friends growing up and I would love to bring that to other families. I also understand the importance of parents being able to connect and have some alone or having multiple responsibilities all while needing for their children to be safe and well care for.

"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)."
