Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for! As a former Program Facilitator and Youth Development Specialist, I have three years of experience supporting families by providing reliable care. I am currently a receptionist at a Pediatrics office. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and caring for children of all ages. I keep parents informed through verbal communication at pickup, regular updates via text or phone call, and by following your preferred communication method. I enjoy board games, puzzles, and even some technology-based games. I am also willing to help with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I speak both English and Spanish. I hope to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family!

Hi! My name is Carol. I have more than 6 years of experience in and out the country, with children of all ages, since newborns to teenagers. I also worked in a preschool for almost 2 years before I moved to United States. I love taking care of kids and empathize with them! Keeping them safe is my priority and making them happy is my best job!!🤗

“Carol is awesome! She has been working for our family four days a week for more than 6 months. She is incredibly reliable and responsible; she is an excellent driver, and she drives my kids to their after-school activities around Bethesda. She always arrives on time and has never missed a day. She is thoughtful and diligent about her work for our family. She is responsible for our two adolescent boys after school, she prepares meals for the kids, helps us manage the household, and she is responsive to any tasks we need her help with. She has been a tremendous resource to our family and I whole-heartedly recommend her.”

Hello! I am a Graduate Student at Columbia University with a passion for working with children! I have six years of experience with children, through teaching dance/gymnastics, being a camp counselor, babysitting and tutor. I love to diy projects, dance, reading, listening to music, and spending time outside!

“Tania was great! My kids loved having her over. She was professional, kind, and she got my two rambunctious toddlers to sleep on time (not an easy feat). Thanks Tania!”

Booked by 1 family in Germantown, MD

Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.

“Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.”

Hello! My name is Marianella. I’ve had several years of babysitting and nannying experience working with children of all ages newborn, infant, toddlers, and elementary age. I have two beautiful terrific kids 🥰. In addition, I’m from Colombia - South America so, I would like to share my culture with you. My primary hobbies of nannying include crafts or creative activities! I’m a very happy person and really enjoy working with kids, so if you’re looking for someone high energy, I’ve definitely got it! What I love most about babysitting is being a support for the family.
