Booked by 2 families in Silver Spring, MD

Hi there! I am a 23 year old female student who is very passionate about working with children and animals. I recently moved back to Massachusetts to return to school. I have 5+ years of experience working with children as a babysitter, and have also held positions as a camp counsellor at both day and overnight camps. I am comfortable babysitting multiple children at a time, helping with schoolwork, household chores, cooking, and pet care. I, myself, have dog sat and been the owner of multiple small animals. I am patient, outgoing, talkative, easy going, and I like to have fun while still being able to ensure that children follow rules and get tasks done. I have been certified in CPR and lifesaving, and did partake in a babysitting course during my youth, but would be happy to have all of these certifications updated. I was also certified as an EMT during college, which has since lapsed but left me with many useful skills.

Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced nanny currently working with a family during the week.

I’d love to help your family with reliable and loving care! Feel free to reach out — I look forward to meeting you 😊

Raquel was very kind and engaging with our daughter. She was professional, punctual, and helpful.

Booked by 1 family in Silver Spring, MD

Hi! My name is Rokhaya. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life, not just as a job, but as family. As the firstborn of five younger siblings, I’ve been actively caring for infants and children since I was 13. Being the oldest taught me responsibility, patience, and how to nurture children with love and consistency. Professionally, I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience with a wide range of ages (including twins), from five-month-old infants to toddlers, preschoolers, and older children up to 10 years old. I’m comfortable adjusting to each child’s needs, routines, and personality, whether that means bottle-feeding, playtime, helping with homework, or simply creating a calm and safe environment. I’m known for being very warm, gentle, and attentive. I genuinely love children, and that shows in the way I care for them. I enjoy creating positive, joyful spaces through music, outdoor time, and creative activities. I also love nature, which often inspires calm play and meaningful connection with kids. I’m bilingual and speak both English and French fluently, which can be a great asset for families looking to expose their children to another language. Overall, I take pride in being reliable, nurturing, and present, and I treat every child I care for as if they were my own.

Gina 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Gina, I’m an experienced and nurturing caregiver. I am truly passionate about early development and always look for fun and engaging ways to connect with the children in my care. With safety as my main priority, I’m a hands on caregiver ! I love to get down and play, read, sing 🎶, dance or paint. I’m always available to facilitate and inspire fun! My goal when I’m caring for children is that they feel safe, heard and loved. My experience ranges from group care, newborn, overnight newborn care, live-in, infant/ toddler and mixed age siblings. I just updated my CPR/First Aid and I have updated vaccines, so I look forward to supporting all of your care and coverage needs. Sincerely, Ms Gina-Weena ☺️

Gina was our daughter's full-time nanny from 8 months of age to 16 months. We unfortunately had to say good-bye, due to our family moving out of the area. She has been such a calm and joyful presence in our home. When our daughter transitioned from baby to toddlerhood, she had a gentle and patient approach with toddler tantrums. She reinforced boundaries, without ever raising her voice. She planned activities for our daughter and took her all over town to fun museums and cafes. She also cooked delicious meals/snacks for our daughter, and exposed her to new foods. We appreciated that she treated our family with respect, and was always open to feedback. Most importantly to us, she loved our daughter and was incredibly nurturing towards her. We knew our daughter was safe and well-taken care of in her custody. They had a great bond. I can't recommend Gina highly enough!

Thanat 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of childcare experience including 2 years as an Au pair. I love being around children, and I am so obviously enjoyed interacting with them. I am responsible, focus, gentle, neat and be on time. I am full vaccinated. I have my own transportation and would love to discuss job responsibilities/expectations

Benz (Thanat) is amazing! He took care of my son, 5 days a week from ages 2-3 and has become part of the family. My son tells me frequently how much he loves Benz and how Benz plays the best games. He is reliable, caring, and can match energy with the calmest or wildest of kids. I was nervous how my son would do switching from all female care takers (other than his Dad) to a male sitter/nanny and I can say Benz was perfect. They would go on daily walks through the neighborhood and he kept my son happily entertained while we worked from home. Any family that gets to work with Benz is lucky and we are looking forward to our special Benz visits! Coming back to update, after having several different nanny/sitters since my son started preschool, I have really come to appreciate Benz even more. He is amazing reliable and responsible. In the year he was with us, he was never more than a few minuets late (due to the buses on the only road in and out of our neighborhood) and I always heard from him when he had any issues or questions. He is a wonderful person and a extraordinary sitter. My son talks about him almost every day and how much he loves him.

"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."

"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)."
