Find an after school nanny in Laurel, MD

I grew up in a single-parent household where caring for others became second nature to me very early on. As the oldest, I naturally stepped into a role that was a mix of big sister, helper, protector, and built-in babysitter for my younger brothers. A lot of who I am today comes from those experiences like helping with homework at the kitchen table, making meals, keeping routines together, comforting my siblings when they were upset, and learning how much patience and consistency matter to children. That’s honestly what inspired me to continue into babysitting outside of my family over the last 4 years. For me, childcare has never felt like simply “watching kids.” I genuinely love creating environments where children feel emotionally safe, comfortable, understood, and free to be themselves. I’m naturally very calm, nurturing, and attentive, and I always try to bring warmth and positive energy into the homes I work in. I’m 25 years old, grew up in Maryland, and outside of childcare I love baking, hiking, and spending time outdoors. I’m someone who values kindness, communication, and being a dependable presence that families can truly feel comfortable with.

I am a proud mom of 1 child and a cat. While my first-degree studies are based in Hospitality and Tourism Management, I have worked specifically as a Senior Teacher in two different licensed pre-schools since I became a mom. I have gained experience working with children from ages 0-10 years old during this time. Nonetheless, I have been babysitting children for more than 15 years. I enjoy working and being around children long before I became a parent. I am very passionate about teaching and having fun with children, while helping them reach their different developmental milestones. I do also have experience working with children on the spectrum. I do not have much experience working with Seniors; however, I enjoy spending time in their company, and I am a very fast learner. While I am available for babysitting gigs, I am looking to grow with a family that is open to having a lesson plan (to include indoors and outdoor activities) tailored towards their child's growth and development. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family!
