Hi! I have over 2 years of experience working with children as an au pair, where I cared for children ages 3–11 while working with two different families. I also have 2.5 years of experience as a nanny and Spanish tutor. I currently work as an Environmental, Health & Safety Specialist, which has strengthened my knowledge of safety, emergency preparedness, and creating safe environments.

Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Colesville, MD
Hi, my name is Olivia. I am currently in nursing school. I am offering baby sitting care and some household services. I do have my CNA license and I have grown up taking care of my 5 nieces and nephews which included bathing, cooking and just keeping them company. Personality-wise I would say I’m very caring, very responsible, trustworthy, I can be quiet sometimes/shy but I do open up if a safe environment is provided and I am loving.
Colleen $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I just graduated nursing school from the University of South Caroline in December of 2022. I am living at home for a few months before I move down to Charleston, SC this spring to start a job on a cardiac floor at MUSC. I have worked with children of all ages and capabilities since I was in middle school. I have always loved caring for children, so I hope to one day work in a NICU or pediatric unit! I am fully vaccinated & boosted, and am happy to show proof. I have my own car and would be happy to drive your children to any activities!

Booked by 138 families in Colesville, MD
Hi, I'm Shavonne. I have a Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development and have 10+ years babysitting experience. Besides babysitting I have various experiences working with children: I've worked as a youth tennis coach, taught Sunday school for 5-7 year olds, was a respite care worker for a child with special needs, interned in an infant classroom at a highly reputed lab school, spent almost 4 years teaching preschool and now I have been doing child development work for SF county for over 5 years. I have experience babysitting children ranging in age from 2 weeks to teenagers and families of up to 5 early childhood aged siblings at once. While babysitting, I enjoy engaging the children in arts and crafts activities; imaginative play; outings to parks and museums; and helping school aged children with homework. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, playing tennis, and spending time with friends and family.
