I would love to spend time reading to your children, playing outside, exploring nature, and dancing in the kitchen. I have taught preschool for three years. I have extensive experience babysitting, and I have eight years of teaching experience at the middle and high school level. I speak fluent German, and I would be happy to immerse your children in German and support their language development. I have worked as a full-time nanny for four years, with ages ranging from newborn (twins) to seven. **Allergic to cats**
“Jan was on time, very kind, positive and my son had a great time playing with her. She was a great help while my husband and I got chores done around the house!”

Hi everyone! I speak English and Spanish. I am a person that I characterize for my punctuality and kindness. I Have been a nanny since I was 17 years old. I love spending time with children, they grow so fast and learn very quickly. I try to help them as much as I can and help them learn new things and that they have confidence in themselves. I enjoy spending time with them. I have my first aid certificate and certificate of training school for the care of children. I like to do many activities with the children at home or outside if the weather permits. I know your children will have a lot of fun and they will learn from me as well as I from them.

I finished LPN (Licenced Practical Nurse). I have years of experiences working with an infant, toddler, and school aged children. Kids are adorable. I don't have my own, but I have several nieces and nephews I babysit and love as my own kids. I love my family so much, they're my everything.
“Laurelle was such a lovely lady and wonderful caregiver. She was promptly on time and immediately engaged with my 4 month old. Laurelle was comfortable with my lab mix, Lincoln and I was happy to leave my little family in her hands. Hopefully she will be available the next time I need help as she is incredibly kind and got along amazingly well with my little one.”

I have many years of nanny/babysitting experience. I enjoy working with children of all ages and helping them learn and improve their knowledge, skills, and self-esteem. I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from UMD but decided to make a career change a few years ago to contribute to something that I am passionate about.
“Rose was an excellent babysitter and completely put me at ease so that I could attend an urgent evening work meeting. She was in communication with me via text before and during the job. She kept my 8 year old son engaged and having a wonderful time making paper monsters from a book that Rose brought with her. She made dinner for my son and his friend and cleaned and tidied areas of the apartment. She also helped organize areas of my apartment and set up my TV, DVD player, and computer monitor, all of which was a huge help. I highly recommend Rose!”
