I am a compassionate and reliable caregiver with a strong background in working with children of all ages especially infants and toddlers. My experience includes roles as a personal babysitter for many urban sitter families, aftercare worker, and camp coach, where I developed a passion for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children. I am CPR-certified until June 2026, ensuring that I can respond promptly and effectively in emergencies. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Health Science at Howard University, I bring a detail-oriented mindset to my caregiving approach, ensuring that every child receives personalized attention. I also have obtained my certification in Medical Assisting. My academic and extracurricular activities, such as mentoring with Ballet and Books and serving as the HUNAACP Membership Committee Chair, have further enhanced my leadership, organizational, and interpersonal skills. I am fluent in English and speak proficiently in Spanish and ASL, allowing me to communicate effectively with diverse families. My talents include planning age-appropriate activities, assisting with homework, promoting positive behaviors, and maintaining a structured yet fun household routine. Beyond childcare, I am skilled in household management tasks such as meal preparation, light cleaning, and running errands. Families can trust me to provide a supportive and positive environment that fosters children's growth and well-being. With a caring personality, strong work ethic, and dedication to excellence, I aim to exceed expectations in every aspect of caregiving.

Professional and a great vibe! Highly recommend.

Booked by 9 families in Silver Spring, 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.

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 families I’m Ali I have a Communication science degree and I’ve been a babysitter/nanny for over 10 years. I’m a Spanish speaker so if you want your children to learn another language I’d be so happy to help. I worked for 2.5 years as an AuPair taking care of children from 3 different families ( 7 months old to 13 years old) I had a great experience with all the families and kids. My last full time job ended after almost 2 years of taking care of a beautiful baby girl who now is in pre-k but I still babysit her constantly. In my last two jobs I watched babies, a 3 months old baby boy and then another 3 months old baby girl. My schedule is very flexible and I’m available on weekends as well. Thanks

"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)."
