Find a babysitter in Ashton, MD

Hello, my name is Maryam and I'm a recent graduate at UMD. I am offering child care, and household services. As the eldest of 5, I have always loved caring for and engaging with children. I have over three years of professional experience watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids up to 15 years old but have personal experiences of the above since a very young age. My responsibilities have included, crafts, tutoring, cooking, and cleaning. I love to engage the children I care for in a multitude of activities like playing sports, baking, science experiments, different crafts and arts and more!! I can also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.

I am a senior in high school with a strong passion for working with children. I have taken a Child Development class for two years, where I have learned a lot about child growth and care. Through this class and other experiences, I have worked with children as young as three years old up to almost five-year-olds. I truly enjoy engaging with kids. I love playing with them, talking to them, and creating fun. In addition, I am actively involved at my church every Sunday, where I work with children aged 5 to 10. I help supervise activities, play with them, and encourage positive interaction. I also have experience caring for animals. I have three dogs that I have cared for over the past four years, and I also offer dog-walking services. This experience has taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness qualities I bring to all childcare responsibilities. Overall, my experience with children and animals has given me the skills to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for any child.

I am a caring, reliable professional with over 15 years of experience working with children and families. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is safe, loved, and well cared for. I have completed extensive training in the early childhood education field, including Medication Administration, Basic Health and Safety, First Aid, CPR/AED, Seizure Training, and Emergency Preparedness. With this knowledge, I am able to care for children confidently and calmly, with safety always at the forefront. I am patient, dependable, and committed to creating a calm, nurturing environment while building trusting, positive relationships with both children and families.

Hi everyone! I speak English and Spanish. I am a person that I characterize for my punctuality and kindness. I Have been a nanny since I was 17 years old. I love spending time with children, they grow so fast and learn very quickly. I try to help them as much as I can and help them learn new things and that they have confidence in themselves. I enjoy spending time with them. I have my first aid certificate and certificate of training school for the care of children. I like to do many activities with the children at home or outside if the weather permits. I know your children will have a lot of fun and they will learn from me as well as I from them.
