Nevaeh $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Nevaeh! I’ve been caring for children since I was a preteen, helping with my siblings, nieces, and nephews ages 2–12. I also worked in early childcare for two years, assisting teachers with lesson plans, reading, and playtime. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities that support both learning and growth. I’m currently pregnant with my first child and excited to return to my roots in caregiving as I prepare for motherhood. I understand the patience, responsibility, and love it takes to care for little ones, and I bring those same qualities to the families I support. In addition to childcare, I have experience with seniors and pets, and I can help with feeding, walks, light cleaning, errands, and organization. My background also includes customer service and warehouse work, which taught me dependability and adaptability. I’m also pursuing a degree in medical billing and coding at YTI, graduating in 2026. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, and hardworking. I’d love to support your family with dependable care, flexibility, and a positive attitude.

Asuma $30 per hour for 1 child

About Asuma Hi! My name is Asuma and I am currently a neuroscience research technician and a member of the U.S. Army Reserves. I offer childcare, tutoring, and household support services. Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. As the oldest daughter in a large family and a mother to an amazing teenager, I grew up helping care for younger siblings and relatives. I also have over 11 years of experience caring for children ranging from infants to teenagers. In addition to childcare, I provide tutoring for students from elementary school through college in subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Mathematics and enjoy helping students build confidence in learning and problem-solving. My childcare responsibilities have included helping with homework, preparing meals, creative activities, transportation, and maintaining a structured and safe environment for children. I enjoy encouraging curiosity through reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and fun learning moments. I speak four languages and have reading knowledge of two others, which has helped me connect with families from diverse backgrounds. Outside of work, I enjoy bike rides in nature, cooking and experimenting with recipes, volunteering with community organizations, and continuing my training as a beginner in Taekwondo. Families often describe me as dependable, calm, and attentive. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. While I don’t yet have extensive experience caring for pets, I am open to learning as long as safety is prioritized.

Hi! - My name is Mamoshibudi but I go by Shiby! I hold bachelor in commercial law degree from South Africa hoping to get into American law school fall of 2025 and was a Speech Therapy Assistant in Maryland. I offered child care with emotional support, senior care as well as basic pet care. I was an Au Pair where I worked with kids aged 3 to 7 years old doing many tasks such as school prep, home schooling, pick ups/drop off, laundry, cooking, interactive playtime just to name a few.

I truly have a passion for children and seniors and hope to work with you in the future!

"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)."
