Meet college nannies and sitters from Johns Hopkins University

Hi! I have always loved working and engaging with children of all ages. I've been babysitting on and off for kids age 6mo - 12 y/o over the years, including my nephew and friends' children when they need extra backup or simply because I love the 1:1 time with them. I've done sleepover sitting and bedtime routines, school drop off/pick ups, homework help, lots of fun field trip adventures with older kids, creative projects or games at home, etc. I'm comfortable and confident with any aged child. In 2021 I took a professional sabbatical during which time I worked as a substitute teacher with Mission Montessori (for the pure enjoyment of it), working with children 6 months - 3 years old. I have also volunteered as a reading and homework tutor of elementary school-aged children in the past. I'm very good with kids - patient, child-centered and love to make them feel seen and supported emotionally while encouraging their creativity and learning. If you have pets: I’m very comfortable and happy with pets in the home and pet care on a sitting job. Im currently an SPCA dog volunteer so get especially excited about dogs :).

Hi! My name is Autumn and I am a Philadelphia native. I moved to New York about 4 years ago and am working full time at an education tech company. Prior to this, I was a first grade teacher in Baltimore for two years. I am passionate about connecting with the youngest learners, love to do crafts, play games, spend time exercising and reading! In addition to caring for children, I am also comfortable doing light house work/cleaning, cooking, and caring for pets.

Hi, I'm Victoria! I have 8+ years of babysitting and nannying experience in NYC and have recently re-entered the babysitting world after getting my MBA! I work full time in finance but have been missing getting to work with kids. Originally from Upstate NY, I moved to NYC to pursue a BFA in dance and have since transitioned to the business and finance realm. Some background on my experience: I have been babysitting for the past 10 years and I love to work with kids. I have worked with children from ages 2 months to 12 years old. I have also taught creative movement classes and dance to kids of all ages, so I am very accustomed to high energy and can match that of your child. I have also tutored children and worked in classroom settings. I am a very active and enthusiastic person, which I love to share with the kids I work with. I love to babysit because growing up, my babysitters had a positive influence on me and became very important to me, so I want to give others that experience and be a fun, inspiring babysitter and positive role model. I do not treat this job as daily work, I treat each family as my own and make sure the family and children receive the best care possible! Additionally, I have done volunteer work with reading to preschoolers, helping elementary school students after school with tutoring, and volunteering at daycare services for kids. A fun fact about me is that I love art, reading, and pets! I hope to get to know you and your family in the future!

Hi there! I'm Daviona, but my students call me "Ms." Jokes aside, I'm a caring, fun person who enjoys mentoring kiddos of all ages. I'm currently a middle school math teacher with a Master's in Education. I'm currently certified in Math 7-12, ESL, and SpEd.

Hi - I am a local mom and wife who would love to help families with occasional babysitting needs in my own home setting. My daughter is interested in learning the ropes of babysitting and will observe and assist me with care by being a good companion to your kiddo. We have a playroom for 6 and under, a high chair and booster chair, as well as a basinet, cradle, and bed for naps/sleep depending on the child's age. Meals and snacks are included at the direction of the parent. Please advise of any food allergies, or behavioral/medical concerns. We do not have pets in our home and offer a smoke-free environment.

Hi, I’m Sammie, and I’m currently offering childcare as well as assistance with household services and pets. I currently work as a teacher at an outdoor school. I have two years of experience as a preschool teacher in an outdoor preschool, and have been working with kids as a teacher, tutor, babysitter, and guide for over ten years. My style of teaching and babysitting is child lead, informed by kids interests and passions. I obviously love involving outdoor play, but also love art, cooking, and other kinds of projects as well.

Hi! My name is Eleri and I am a rising junior at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. I am a Division 1 lacrosse player there, studying psychology with a triple minor in Accounting, Entrepreneurship & Management, and Marketing & Communications. I grew up in San Francisco all my life, and recently moved to Corte Madera my senior year of high school at St. Ignatius College Preparatory. I will be living in the Bay Area for the duration of my summer break (June-September). Throughout high school, I was an avid babysitter, working upwards of twice per week for different families. I continue to babysit in Baltimore when I am available. I am also a private lacrosse coach, working with young children to mentor and teach them the fundamental skills of lacrosse. I love caregiving because I enjoy channeling my inner child! I love to play outdoors, cook new recipes (especially in my college dorm!), and turn off the screens to enjoy the life around me. A fun fact about me is that I love all animals-- you can find me "adopting" a dog for the day in Baltimore to take them on long walks in the park or Starbucks for an occasional pup-cup.

Hello! I am an experienced educator and caregiver with more than 25 years of experience working with children from infancy through high school. I hold teaching certifications in general education (Early Childhood–6th Grade), special education (Early Childhood–12th Grade), and technology applications (Early Childhood–12th Grade), and I have spent my career helping children learn, grow, and thrive. My approach to caregiving is calm, patient, and responsive. I believe children do best when they feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Whether we're reading books, playing games, working on homework, exploring creative activities, or simply enjoying time together, I focus on building positive relationships while providing structure and consistency. I have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of learning styles, personalities, and needs, including children with dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, and other learning differences. I am also trained in trauma-informed practices and child development. On a personal note, I am a mom, former Division I student-athlete, and lifelong educator who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love helping young people discover their strengths, build confidence, and have fun while learning about the world around them. I would be honored to support your family and provide dependable, nurturing care for your child.
