Booked by 5 families in Forest Hill, MD

Hi, I’m Noor☺️! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic graduate community college student with experience caring for children from infants to school age. I used to work part-time at a daycare for 5+ years and also babysit for several families, giving me hands-on experience with routines, playtime, meals, naps, and creating a safe, positive environment for kids of all ages. I love keeping children engaged through crafts, pretend play, outdoor walks, playground trips, and fun activities that encourage creativity and learning. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with dog sitting and dog walking, so I’m very comfortable around pets! My goal is always to make children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I truly enjoy building strong connections with both kids and families, and I’m excited to help however I can :)

“Noor has been absolutely incredible. She showed such comforting level of care for our high energy toddler. She is always incredibly sweet, kind, and emotionally intelligent towards our daughter and even managed to create an immediate comfort with our other child who is severely disabled and limited in his ability to interact. Our family could not recommend Noor enough, she will always be welcomed in our home.”

Hi! My name is Marianna and I am 23 years old. I'm a reliable and easygoing sitter with 8 years of experience caring for children ages 1-13.

Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with children and youth since high school. I had the desire to work with children and youth as an adult however I haven’t had the chance to really balance that with school and work. Now that I am older and have more availability I want to pursue my passion with working with children and youth. I have a degree in family and humanities and I am a veteran. Over the years I’ve always wanted to pursue having a daycare center or a family based childcare. I still have that passion so I am looking to build a trusted and useful community for those who need my services. I am looking to provide support to families who do not work the traditional 9 to 5 working hours. My services is available for those who work non-traditional hours. The evening/overnight shift and those who work various changing work schedules. I received my experience with working with children and youth through internships, community engagements, and helping family and friend when they need a babysitter. I am willing to experience more hands on opportunities with you and your family. I believe that my passion for working with children of all ages will get me the experience I need to run a successful business. Please feel free to contact me. Excited to work with you.
