$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 9 families in Royal Oak, MD

Hi! I’m Shayla—a responsible, warm-hearted caregiver with years of experience working with children, seniors, pets, and busy households. I’m currently a college student majoring in Political Science, and I’ve always balanced my studies with my love for helping others. I’ve babysat for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I’m great at creating a safe, structured, and fun environment. I also have experience assisting with elderly care, walking and feeding pets, and helping out around the house with light cleaning, meal prep, and organization. People often describe me as dependable, patient, and easy to talk to. I’m CPR-certified, great at multitasking, and I always show up with a positive attitude and a willingness to help. Whether I’m planning creative activities, helping with bedtime, or simply being a steady presence, I take pride in making families feel supported and at ease. I’d love the opportunity to care for your loved ones and help your household run a little smoother!

Shayla was amazing! My toddler loved her and was so sad when she left. She was on time, kind, helpful, sent me pictures and communication was great! I will be hiring her again 100% — thank you, Shayla!

LaShelle $23 per hour for 1 child

As a compassionate, highly organized, and reliable caregiver, I genuinely love working with children and bringing joy to their day. With over 3 years of hands-on experience running my own home daycare, coupled with my roles as a Substitute Teacher and Early Literacy Interventionist, I've developed a deep understanding of engaging children aged 6 weeks to 13 years through play, crafts, and age-appropriate activities, always prioritizing their safety and well-being. My extensive background in administrative and managerial roles (over 8 years) means I bring exceptional time management, organizational skills, and meticulous attention to detail to every aspect of childcare, from seamless scheduling and healthy meal prep to light tidying. I'm deeply committed to fostering meaningful connections with diverse families and maintaining a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive. I possess a valid driver's license with reliable transportation and am eager to contribute my dedication and nurturing approach to your family's needs."

Booked by 1 family in Royal Oak, MD

Hi, I’m Eliza! I’m the oldest of four sisters, so taking care of little ones has been a part of my life from a young age! I have hands-on experience with children of different ages. I cared for a newborn for almost a year and also looked after a 7-year-old girl for a year. Currently, I work full-time caring for a newborn and a toddler, but I’m available to weekends and weeknights babysitting opportunities. I’m certified in CPR and have completed a specialized course in newborn care. I have experience with everything from feeding, bathing, and playing to putting children to sleep and driving them safely when needed. I truly love working with babies and toddlers. I believe each stage of childhood is special, and I’m well-prepared to support and care for children with love, patience, and responsibility. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and experienced to care for your little ones, I’d be happy to help!

Eliza was wonderful; she arrived right on time, got the kids fed, and even came prepared with a fun activity (balloons to make balloon animals), which our kids absolutely loved and are already begging for her to come back. What impressed us most is that she successfully put both kids to bed, which can be genuinely challenging in our house and is where many babysitters struggle. She was also very communicative both before the job and throughout the evening, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Denise $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Denise - I am 70 years old but I feel 50 years old and my 42 year old daughter says I can run circles around her and her staff. I am a nurse for 50 years (did I just say that? wow!) and I often work catering for her her restaurant. So not only do I love kids and pets but I love interior design, keeping kids engaged, playing with dogs and cats, taking care of the home and find myself organizing as I move along the house, giving the kids activities, being support to their parents, find peace in doing laundry, prepping for events, helping to host and serve at events, throwing kids birthday parties, decorating for weddings and social gatherings, love attending sports events and bringing the kids to the parks and play dates, and encourage manners, positive activities, and being an "auntie". LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING DAYS EASY, ENJOYABLE, & BEING PART OF THE FAMILY. I am here to help and be a friend, babysitter, housesitter, and house manager.

"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)."
