Booked by 1 family in Ashton, MD
I’m a thoughtful, empathetic person with a deep appreciation for nurturing and care. Outside of my professional career, I’ve always had a natural fondness for children and families. I believe that caring for someone’s home or loved ones isn’t just a “job”; it’s a responsibility rooted in respect, trust, and understanding.
“Nadia is such an amazing and calm person. My children love her and always look forward to seeing her. She involves the children in different play activities with minimal to no screen time at all. We trust her with the kids and know that they’re in good hands. We are glad to have met her!”
Aduneya $20 per hour for 1 child
I have worked at an elementary school taking care of 25 kids. Being creative and finding activities for kids to do is very important. Painting, drawing, any games that they like. It’s also very important to lead Children to make sure rules are followed so they are safe at all times. Through getting to know them and being a good listener, over time they will feel more comfortable.

I have 5 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in a daycare setting. I’m also currently a part time nanny for a 4 year old and a 2 year old 🙂
Clarissa $20 per hour for 1 child
I’m a caring, dependable caregiver who brings a little fun into every day! I’ve worked with kids, seniors, and pets, helping with everything from homework and bedtime routines to companionship and daily support. I love creating a safe, positive environment where everyone feels comfortable, valued, and even gets to smile a little more. Whether it’s keeping kids engaged, making sure seniors feel respected and cared for, or giving pets the attention they deserve, I’m all in. I also help keep the home running smoothly with light cleaning, organizing, and meal prep. With patience, empathy, and great time management, I make sure everything gets done while keeping the vibe warm and upbeat.
Abigya $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Abigya, and I’m currently a senior at the University of Maryland, majoring in Information Science. I am offering child care and household services. I love working with children and have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids since I was 15. My responsibilities have included helping with school pick-ups, tutoring, organizing fun activities, and more. I’ve also tutored children for 2 years at a Kumon tutoring center and teach Sunday school students. I can assist with household tasks like cleaning and running errands. I don’t have any pet allergies and am happy to work with families that have both cats and dogs.
