Ms. Bessi was awesome with our then 3 year old son. She is very knowledgeable and you can tell she has a lot of experience. She also gave me some great advise on enrolling our son in pre k when the time comes.

Hi! I'm Abby, a caring, responsible, and patient sitter currently based in Frederick, Maryland. I'm 23 years old and recently completed my B.A. in Psychology at the University of Maryland–Baltimore County with a minor in dance. I have a strong background in childcare, including hands-on experience through a paid internship as a behavior technician with Advancing Beyond the Spectrum, where I worked closely with nonverbal children with autism using ABA therapy techniques. I recently completed interning at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children headquarters located in Alexandria to help support their mission of keeping children safe. I plan to pursue a Masters in Social Work in 2027 and seek a long term nannying/family assistant position. Working with kids brings me so much joy, it allows me to connect with my inner child, and I truly value the trust families place in me. I'm always ready to meet new challenges with a positive attitude and an open mind. In addition to childcare, I'm also happy to help with pets, I'm an animal lover too! Whether you're looking for someone dependable for occasional sitting or more regular support, I’d love to be part of your family's care team.

Hello Families of SitterCity! I have decided to open my availability to start scheduling “date night”, weekend & occasional sitting! I am a full time nanny, but when you love what you do, doing it all the time makes it easy to do! I love helping, spending time with and teaching children of all ages. I have an extensive background in healthcare as a Certified Medical Assistant and FDA Study Research Coordinator (4 ½ years in Pediatrics, 7 weeks years in Women’s Health/OBGYN and 1 year in Cardiology). I was in Nursing School, but had to stop when my mom became ill. I hope to soon obtain my Newborn Care Specialist certificate, and I am also perusing my Doula birth/labor and postpartum certification. My passion for helping people goes way beyond an “office” setting. I truly enjoy spending time with an entire family and helping out in all aspects. I’ve been with my current nanny family for 18 months, since their little one was 3 months old. The family I was with prior I was with for 2 year (since their little one was 2 months). I’ve also been a medical caregiver for 2 years for a little one who was born at 24 weeks. I worked directly with his care team including Infants & Toddlers, PT/OT/SLP, developmental pediatrician and primary pediatrician and GI. I have always loved children and families, and both of my older sisters turned to me for help after their had their kids (I have 4 nephews). Many parents/grandparents have called me the “baby whisperer”. My currently availability is: weekends, weekday evenings (“Date night”), and occasional Fridays after 1pm. I have extensive experience caring for children, both well and sick, special needs, and I am also able to do overnight stays! I'd love to care for your children, too! I started babysitting when I was a young teen for families in the neighborhood, and younger members in my own family. I'm professional, trustworthy, patient, experienced and organized, and know how to be fun and silly with little ones (and don’t mind digging in the dirt, playing with sidewalk chalk, or mixing up a fresh batch of playdoh).

Hello! My name is Mary Brooke and I prefer to go by Brooke. I am 27 years old and hoping to fill some free time in order to save enough money to start a small farm. I currently would as a County Executive Director for Baltimore and Harford. Living in Frederick County, I am no stranger to driving distances. Being the oldest child and cousin watching after my younger family members was a great experience in my youth. In college, I set up the SitterCity account for just one of my many jobs. I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelors in Large Animal and Dairy Sciences. I am very comfortable with animals as well! I now enjoy time, when I can, with my niece and nephews. Please feel free to ask me any questions! My availability would be most weekends and afternoon/evenings. I get off work at 4:30, so depending on your location and travel I would be available after then.

If you're looking for someone who embodies compassion and empathy, look no further than Lelo. Over the past year, she has been a remarkable caregiver for my daughter, and our journey together began through our church activities, where Lelo generously volunteered in the children’s church sessions. Since then, she has become an irreplaceable part of our family, providing not only exceptional care but also warmth and joy in our home. We cannot recommend Lelo highly enough. Her dependability, nurturing spirit, and respectful demeanor make her a standout caregiver. If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to us.

I don't think words can even begin to describe how phenomenal Adrian is as a caregiver. We hired Adrian in July 2021 as a full-time nanny for our 6 month old son and she was with us for two years until my family moved out of state. My husband and I are both physicians and have very early morning work hours (sometimes as early as 515am) and long days (12-14 hours). Adrian always said "just tell me when you need me and I'll be there" and it was the truth. She was so flexible and accomodating to our busy lives and we could rely on 110%. Even if there were last minute changes to our schedules she would always make it work for us. Even with her high reliability and work ethic, that paled in comparison to how much she truly cared about our son and how well she treated him. As first time parent she was so helpful in getting him on a consistent schedule for us (he used to almost never nap in his crib before her), she was very educational too teaching him colors, numbers, and so many words! I trusted Adrian completely with his safety and she would always touch base if she was ever concerned about anything. Our son is very active and always wanting to explore and be on the go, but Adrian kept right up and introduced him to so many new things and places like the zoo, different parks, museums, splash pads, she even took him to swim lessons! I never once worried about his safety and honestly Adrian became just like part of our family. She was so easy to work with and talk to and really cared about our family's values, making sure to incorporate that into her care and routine with our son. My son absolutely adored Adrian. He would light up when she would walk into our house and when it was time to leave he would stand at the front window saying goodbye and blowing kisses until she drove away. If we could have taken her with us when we moved I would have in a heartbeat. Any family would be lucky to have her in their lives and we will truly miss her in ours.

We love Makenzie. She’s so creative and always has a new craft or activity up her sleeve. She is dependable and keeps the kids engaged when she is with them. We’d definitely recommend Kenzie for short sits and all day care.

Hi, I'm Lauren! I am a caretaker, an artist and a hobby gardener. As one of six children I am no stranger to the joy-filled chaos of young children, or the necessity of multitasking and prep work to keep a happy household running smoothly. In addition to the immediate tasks of childcare like playtime, planning activities, and helping with schoolwork, I am also comfortable preparing meals and snacks, cleaning and tidying the house, and running whatever errands are most helpful. I have been the go-to neighborhood babysitter since I was a teenager and have had the pleasure of taking care of kids from 6 week old infants to twelve year old preteens! I am Red Cross CPR and First Aid Certified and have volunteer experience working with kids with childhood illness including those dealing with chronic illness, cancer, heart conditions, stoma bags, and other GI issues. I would consider one of my greatest strengths my sincere belief that playing is good for your brain and for your heart, and as long as we can work together there's nothing we can't do. If you have any interest in seeing if I'd be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!
