Booked by 3 families in Edgewater, MD

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!”

Booked by 5 families in Edgewater, MD

Hello! My name is Adetomilola, but many people call me Angie. I am 23 years old and a student at the University of Maryland, College Park pursuing a degree in information science. In my free time I like to sing, watch movies, and read. I love taking care of infants, toddlers, and young children. It's amazing to see how they grow and develop into who they are meant to be. I value being able to have a positive impact on them by providing kind and loving care and by keeping them engaged throughout the day. I have 6 nieces and nephews ranging from the age of 3 months to 8 years old, and I have had a hand in the care of every one of them. I have also provided childcare for numerous family friends, members of my community, and extended family. Recently, I have been assisting a family with caring for their 2 year old and 5 month old. That includes changing diapers, preparing meals, light housekeeping, bathing, nap times, and other parts of their routine. I am a stickler for cleanliness and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for your children. I treat every child with the same love and attention that I would give my family. I am new to this platform, but I’m so excited to get to work. I hope I get to meet your family soon!

“Very responsive, and handled our two kids excellently well and with care. Definitely recommend.”

Booked by 1 family in Edgewater, MD

Hi, my name is Amaya! I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist currently working with children in the school setting. During the summer, I have additional availability and would love the opportunity to support families who need dependable childcare. Working with children is truly my passion. In addition to my professional experience as an SLP, I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters and many younger cousins as I am the first born grandchild on both parents sides. My father also owns a daycare, where I gained valuable hands-on experience working with children of various ages. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to connect with kids in a fun and supportive way. I am reliable, flexible, and happy to help with whatever your family needs-whether that's engaging in play, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, bedtime routines, transportation, or creating enriching activities. My background in child development and communication allows me to support children of all abilities while creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I would love the opportunity to build lasting relationships with families, not just for the summer but in the future as well. Thank you for considering me, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Amaya was on time, communicative, flexible and the kids were happy and well upon our return. Will invite her back. ”

Catherine $20 per hour for 1 child

As a proud mother of two beautiful daughters and a woman of African heritage, I deeply believe in the proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This belief is at the heart of how I care for and connect with children. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Motherhood has gifted me with patience, gentleness, and empathy, while my experience in a school setting has expanded my understanding of child development and creative learning. I cherish the opportunity to inspire curiosity, emotional growth, and joyful exploration—making me a thoughtful, community-minded, and dedicated nanny/helper.

I have over 6 years of experience with children. I am patient, caring, creative, reliable, responsible, organized, and very flexible. I enjoy playing, singing, listening to music, doing activities, dancing, preparing recipes with the children, taking care of their clothes, and much more. I have worked as a nanny with children aged newborn to 7 years. I was a literacy teacher and also have experience as a catechist for children aged 4 to 12 years. Currently, I care for two very affectionate and energetic children, spending time creating and playing indoor and outdoor games, trying to stay as much as possible away from technology, close to nature, books, and time for imagination, learning, and creativity. I have training related to education, such as: early childhood educator, nanny training, childcare assistant, pedagogy, and first aid. I love caring for and being around children.
