Ashlynn $15 per hour for 1 child

I worked as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) in a hospital with a pediatrics ward. I would work with kids often, also volunteering at a local middle school to teach kids about home alone safety. I am certified in BLS, CPR, and First Aid along with Stop the Bleed. I had to help kids through tough times and hard news, along with celebrating the small victories. I also worked with newborns at our maternity ward.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Greenbelt, MD

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.

Sara is wonderful!!! We hired her to watch our almost 2-year-old daughter for the week her daycare was closed and have since had her return several times. She is incredibly reliable, flexible, warm, proactive, fully attentive, and engaged. Our daughter loves her!! We are so grateful to have met Sara and can’t wait to have her back.
