Booked by 1 family in Brentwood, MD

Nickname (preferred): Vicky I have many amazing experience with young children (toddler+), my true love is pup care!! In the past decade I've dog cared for dogs old and young, social and antisocial, and those between homes. In order to give each pup the unique care and experience they deserve, I primarily care for pups one at a time, and only those with whom I can form a genuine bond. Lunchtime and after work walks are my favorite, 1-2x/wk. Regularly scheduled care is preferred. I am fully employed but work from home, and so have flexibility. Whether you have a yard, live in an apartment, or need your pet crated, your pet will always be safe and sound in my care.

The best sitter I ever had, dependable, very caring, and attending to all needs. Highly recommended.

Shayla $20 per hour for 1 child

Impacting children positively is what I love to do. With five years of experience caring for children aged 0-12+, I bring a calm and patient, yet energetic and fun, approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to help children thrive. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. l provide regular updates to parents via text or phone call, and I always give a breakdown of the day at pickup. I have a car, l'm comfortable with pets, and I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. Watching children learn and grow brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your child's development.
