Hello There, I trust you and your family are well! You might notice my last review is from 2020, that’s simply because I’ve been fortunate to work long-term with a few wonderful families since then. My relationships often last for years, and many of the families I’ve supported have truly become like family to me. I hold a Master’s of Arts (M.A.) in School Counseling, & M.Ed in Education Policy and Leadership. I have more than fourteen years of private childcare experience ranging from newborn to 15 years of age. I support children's emotional and social development, encouraging understanding of others and positive self-concepts. My goal has always been to provide children with the necessary care. I am dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is fun,stimulating, encouraging, safe and adaptive to each child's individual needs. Should you have any questions, feel free to message me.

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!”
