$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi - I am a local mom and wife who would love to help families with occasional babysitting needs in my own home setting. My daughter is interested in learning the ropes of babysitting and will observe and assist me with care by being a good companion to your kiddo. We have a playroom for 6 and under, a high chair and booster chair, as well as a basinet, cradle, and bed for naps/sleep depending on the child's age. Meals and snacks are included at the direction of the parent. Please advise of any food allergies, or behavioral/medical concerns. We do not have pets in our home and offer a smoke-free environment.

Ebonique Clinton
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ebonique, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children in both early childhood education and special education. I've spent many years supporting young learners as a preschool teacher and now serve as a dedicated special education paraprofessional in an elementary school. Working with children has always been more than just a job it’s a calling. I’m patient, nurturing, and truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel safe. As a parent to a fun-loving four-year-old, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and compassion in caregiving. Whether it’s playtime, helping with routines, or supporting development, I provide a warm, engaging, and supportive environment tailored to each child’s needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your child and bring the same love and dedication I offer my own.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mincie. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’ve worked in a licensed daycare, provided one-on-one tutoring, and served as a summer camp counselor, giving me strong skills in safety, engagement, and age-appropriate activities. Parents describe me as patient, dependable, and calm, even in busy or high-energy situations. I love creating fun, screen-free activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping routines consistent. I always prioritize communication and safety, and I treat every child with kindness and respect. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute care. I would love to support your family — please feel free to reach out with any questions!

I highly recommend Mincie for any family looking for someone dependable and professional. She is responsible, punctual, and communicates clearly, which made it easy to trust her with our child. She has a calm, patient approach and handled daily routines, meals, and activities with confidence. She was attentive, safety-focused, and genuinely engaged with our child at all times. We always felt comfortable knowing our child was in capable hands, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other families.

Booked by 59 families in Cheltenham, MD

Mature and trustworthy babysitter. CPR and First Aid certified, consistently received positive feedback from parents. I have enjoyed working with newborns up 10 years old. I'm looking for a new family to support in caring for their children. I'm a mother of 2 amazing teenagers they are 18 and 24. I garden during my time off, seeing the blooms is very rewarding. This is a reference from Mrs. Stacei bass Marisol has provided care on a regular basis for my 15 month son since he was 8 weeks old. She's incredibly caring and helpful. Marisol spends a lot of time outside with him and keeps his active when indoors. She does not use her phone other than pictures while watching him and is always responsive to my check-in text messages.

On time, engaging and very attentive with our three busy boys.
