Estelle $25 per hour for 1 child

I have over 13 years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning with babysitting my own younger brother and sisters from the time they were born. In addition to caring for my siblings, I have also babysat children throughout my neighborhood, gaining experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I truly love children, and they naturally connect with me. I believe that mutual trust and affection make all the difference in caregiving. I am patient, kind, dependable, and I treat everyone around me with respect. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I am trilingual and enjoy engaging children through conversation, play, and quality time. Caring for children is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a responsibility, and I always strive to support their well-being while giving parents peace of mind.

Holly $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am on my third year as a full time elementary school art teacher for AACPS. I teach PreK-5th, though I teach primarily 3rd grade and under. I’m creative and fun. I love working with kids! Before working at AACPS, I worked at a private special education school for two years so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of personalities. I have a BFA in Painting and currently I am working on my teaching license since I am a conditional hire. Before teaching, I worked at M&T bank for two years but I left because banking is not really for me. I am a sensitive and creative soul. Selling credit cards and home equities was not bringing me joy. I am happy to say I have found a lot of fulfillment in working with my students. I also am a huge animal lover! I was a dog walker and animal care taker for Unleashed Baltimore for two years as well. I walked and cared for mostly cats and dogs, but there were a couple birds on the client roster.

Hi! My name is Oriane , and I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have experience caring for children from as young as 8 months up to 11 years old. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them.

"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)."
