Paige $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Paige. As the youngest of five, I grew up surrounded by older siblings who shaped me into someone patient, adaptable, and easy to connect with. Being part of a big family made me naturally comfortable around children and helped me understand different personalities and family dynamics. I’ve also played a big role in raising my nephew since he was a baby (he’s 5 now). We have a very close bond, and caring for him taught me how to keep kids engaged, supported, and on a healthy routine. I’m thoughtful, communicative, and always make sure children feel safe, heard, and comfortable. Parents can expect consistent updates and clear communication from me. I can prepare meals, keep things organized, help with bedtime routines, and assist with homework. I’m also a mentor at my job, so guiding and supporting others especially kids comes naturally to me. I’m great with pets as well; I’ve had four dogs and I’m very comfortable around animals. I’m available evenings and weekends, and I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and someone families can trust.

Booked by 1 family in Garrett Park, MD

Warm, dependable nanny based in the DC Metro area with a strong track record of caring for both infants and school-aged children. Bringing decades of leadership experience in architecture and operations management in Venezuela, I offer families a highly organized, calm, and nurturing presence. Since relocating to the U.S. to be closer to my children, I have embraced childcare with dedication and joy. I am attentive to developmental milestones, provide age-appropriate educational play, and foster a safe, structured, and enriching environment. Fluent in Spanish, First Aid/CPR certified, and culturally sensitive, I offer families reliable support, clear communication, and a deeply caring approach to every child’s individual needs.

Hello! My name is Shamaine and I’m a warm, energetic, and nurturing caregiver with a passion for creating safe, fun, and engaging environments for children. I come from a background in hospitality management which means I’m naturally detail-oriented, patient, and great at multitasking.. I’m known for being creative, responsible, and dependable, with a playful spirit that kids love. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, tidying up, bedtime routines, and keeping things in order while you’re away. I’d love to be a reliable helping hand for your family and a positive role model for your kids!

Sara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with over 20 years of experience babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting for families in communities where I have lived. I genuinely love this work — it's been a constant in my life for two decades because I care about doing it well. I hold a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health, so I bring real knowledge of child development, health and safety along with my hands-on experience. I also have worked as a teacher, mentor, tutor, and coach — helping kids grow, learn, and build confidence is one of my favorite parts of this work. That same attentiveness and care carries over beautifully to elder companion care — I enjoy providing patient, attentive companionship and support. I am recently CPR certified for both children and adults through the American Red Cross, so you can feel at ease knowing I'm prepared for the unexpected. Whether it's watching and mentoring your kids, keeping your home safe while you're away, caring for your pets, or even your plants (thanks to some recent greenhouse experience!), I treat every responsibility like it's my own. I'd love to help your family feel supported and cared for.
