Maylani $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Burtonsville, MD

Hi! My name is Maylani, and I am entering my junior year of college studying Public Health Science. I’m looking for a seasonal summer babysitting position and would love to support a family that needs help during the week and/or weekends. I have experience babysitting for families in my neighborhood after completing Safe Sitter training, and I have also worked as a gymnastics coach for school-age children since the summer of 2023, a role I continue to hold today. Coaching has helped me develop patience, creativity, leadership, and strong communication skills with children of all ages. A little more about me: I hope to become a podiatrist in the future, and as a pre-med student, I have been consistently shadowing at a pediatric urgent care clinic since June 2025, which has given me additional hands-on exposure to working with children in a clinical setting. I also had the opportunity to shadow at a pediatric hospital in Athens, Greece. In addition, I love science, work as a college biology tutor during the school year, and will be doing biology research this summer. If you’re looking for a responsible, energetic, and caring babysitter this summer, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Nichole $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Nichole! I’m currently a nursing student getting ready to graduate, and I’m especially interested in working with children and eventually becoming a NICU nurse. I’m BLS certified and have experience in healthcare settings, so safety, patience, and being attentive to others’ needs are very important to me. While I’m newer to professional babysitting, I’m comfortable caring for and interacting with children and would love the opportunity to build more childcare experience. I’m dependable, patient, caring, and easygoing, and I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and preferences. I can help with playtime, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, light tidying, and keeping little ones entertained and safe. I also have plenty of experience caring for pets, so I’m very comfortable in homes with dogs and cats. I’d love to connect with families looking for a trustworthy and responsible sitter for date nights, occasional care, or other babysitting needs!

Madeline 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Burtonsville, MD

Hi, I'm Maddie! I'm a graduate student at UMD and I am currently offering child care services. I love working with and empowering kids and have previously had roles as a summer science camp teacher and summer library staff where I primarily have cared for school-aged children. I love doing crafts, reading, and playing games with kids and I occasionally tutor.

“Maddie is absolutely wonderful! It was her first time meeting my son, who’s on the spectrum, and they connected right away. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with his care. Maddie even handled driving him to and from his ABA therapy, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found her and look forward to having her help again on future dates.”
