Hi! My name is Vicki. I’m currently a student at Walden University studying Social Work and an experienced nanny/babysitter based in Bowie, MD. I offer childcare, pet care, and light household services. A little about me: • I have 8+ years of childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks old through age 12. • I am CPR and First Aid trained. • I worked as a daycare teacher from 2[removed] and have been nannying professionally since 2019. • I’m 1 of 12 siblings, so being around children has always been a huge part of my life and something I genuinely enjoy. • I have experience with infants, toddlers, multiples, school-aged children, and managing daily routines. • In addition to childcare, I can assist with driving children, light cleaning, organizing, pet care, grocery shopping/errands, and meal prep. I’m available for babysitting during the week, evenings, weekends, date nights, and overnights. I’m also open to occasional and last-minute care when my schedule allows. I have reliable transportation and references available upon request. I’d love to connect with families looking for a dependable, experienced, and caring nanny or babysitter!
“Vee was great. Our first time with her and the kids loved her. She was on time, and really connected with the kids and got comfortable right away. Kids asked us if she could come back already. Will definitely seek her services again!”
