Angelys $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student majoring in Elementary education. My work experience includes daycare teacher for the past year and a half, specifically a MD state certified Toddler teacher. Prior to work, my experience has been babysitting my families and friends’ families children! A few traits about me is that I have grown up to love teaching, and working with children. I love music, bright colors, and turtles. My dream career has always been becoming a teacher. I have always enjoyed seeing the smiles from children when they’re having fun, or excited to learn. I will always make the environment safe so all children can feel welcomed and seen.

Ashley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a scientist by day and babysitter by night! Alongside my passion for science is my love for children. Growing up with many younger siblings (as the eldest), I’ve had the privilege of helping care for them from a young age. I’ve also tutored young children (ages 3+) at Kumon here in Baltimore, where I gained experience with creative play and learning. Additionally, I have a master’s degree in biology and come from parents who have a longstanding career in early childhood education. I’m pediatric CPR and First-Aid certified, reliable, patient, compassionate, and most of all filled to the brim with positive energy. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, learning, homework assistance, or additional household daily tasks, I’m here to make a positive difference and help make being a parent a teeny bit easier. Spending time with children brings me positive energy, and it’s the perfect balance to my life as a scientist. I look forward to getting to know you and caring for your little ones.

Jannine $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! 😊 My name is Jannine and I have over 10 years of experience helping families with children of varying ages, from infants to older children, along with just general experience from being the oldest in my family. I come from a healthcare and research background, with experience working in the Emergency Department as a scribe and even vaccinating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm working towards my goal of attending medical school, and babysitting is a wonderful opportunity to continue supporting children and families while saving for this next chapter. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs from having worked as a behavioral therapist for kids with Autism. I have also looked after a child with epilepsy with a past family that I babysat for during evenings and weekends. Lastly, I have experience with pets as I am a Wag! petsitter and dogwalker in my free time. I am happy to take care of any children, furry or human 😉 I'm excited to connect with families looking for a reliable sitter who will treat their little ones with kindness and care! I look forward to meeting you! 💛
