Booked by 2 families in Bethesda, MD

Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and making life a little easier for the families I work with. I’m dependable, patient, and caring, and I always try to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. Whether I’m caring for children, spending time with seniors, looking after pets, or helping around the house, I treat every family with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would give my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your loved ones and your home are in good hands.

Jasmine $20 per hour for 1 child

I have over a year of experience working in a school setting, primarily with K3 and K5 age groups, where I supported young children in their daily routines, learning activities, and social development. Working in the classroom has helped me build strong skills in patience, communication, and creating a structured yet fun environment for kids. In addition to my school experience, I have also babysat on the side, giving me one-on-one experience caring for children and managing responsibilities. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as walks around the park, playing games in the backyard, arts and crafts, reading storybooks, outdoor scavenger hunts, and creative play that keeps children active and entertained. My background has helped me become dependable, attentive, and confident in providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a Filipino single mom to an adorable 6-year-old boy, and I am currently seeking a daytime nanny position while he is at school. I have experience caring for infants and young children, and I pride myself on being patient and nurturing. I understand the importance of providing a supportive learning environment that encourages children to reach their milestones. When my son's custody is with his dad, I also work as a bartender in local restaurants, which has helped me build strong interpersonal skills and multitasking abilities. Additionally, I am studying cybersecurity, which showcases my commitment to personal growth and adaptability. I am dedicated to respecting each family's routine and approach to childcare, ensuring the well-being of the children I care for. I look forward to the opportunity to provide loving and attentive care while fostering an engaging and safe environment for your little ones! I would love to meet up in person and see how we can work things out. -Emily
