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, everyone! My name is Lisa, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself as a sitter. I am not just your average sitter - I am a division 1 softball player and a student majoring in Applied Mathematics. One of the things that sets me apart is my love for being active. I believe in the power of physical activity and outdoor play for children's development, so you can count on me to engage your little ones in fun and stimulating activities. Whether it's playing catch, going for a bike ride, or simply running around in the park, I'll make sure your kids have a great time while staying active. Another passion of mine is sewing and embroidery. I find joy in creating unique and personalized items, so if your children are interested in learning some basic sewing skills or need help with a craft project, I'm here to lend a hand. Of course, I can't forget to mention my love for dogs. They bring so much joy and companionship, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. If you have a furry friend at home, rest assured that they will receive plenty of attention and love from me. What I love most about being a sitter is the opportunity to create meaningful bonds with children. I believe in fostering a safe and nurturing environment where kids can thrive and express themselves freely. Building trust and establishing a connection with each child is of utmost importance to me. Lastly, I want to assure you that I take safety seriously. I am CPR + First Aid certified, and I have received the COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots. Your children's well-being is my top priority, and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety and happiness while in my care. I am excited to meet your family and create wonderful memories together. Thank you for considering me as your sitter!

We had an outstanding experience with Lisa! We hired her through Sittercity to drive our teenager from school to the airport, and she was absolutely fantastic—reliable, professional, and incredibly communicative. Even though we never met her in person before the job, we reviewed her social media profile instead of conducting a formal interview, and she came across as a very trustworthy and grounded young lady. That impression turned out to be completely accurate. Lisa followed every detail of our text communication and task list without missing a beat. She even texted us when she left her house to pick him up, which was very reassuring. Throughout the drive, she kept us updated every step of the way—with ETA updates, notices about gas stops and quick personal pit stops, and check-ins when they were back on the road. Her proactive communication gave us complete peace of mind. She was punctual, respectful, and made our teen feel comfortable and safe. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommended!

Lydia has helped our family twice with back up care. She had very little notice and was extremely puntual. Lydia also meshed well with my 13 year old and 1 year old . She got my little one to stick to his sleep schedule so that was impressive! Thank you Lydia !!!

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.

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.

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).

Felisha interviewed for our nanny position in Feb 2014. She did a fantastic job. She was very articulate and engaging. Unfortunately, she had already accepted another position closer to her home by the time we offered her the job. She has babysat for us and was a temporary nanny for us for two weeks while she waited for her permanent job to start. Felisha is a very lively and fun young lady. She was great with the kids and my 90-year old mother. She has a great deal of initiative. She cleaned out the refrigerator, organized the girls’ rooms, and took my mother shopping, all without being asked. We strongly recommend her.
