Mickelia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Mickelia, a Master’s student pursuing a career in medicine, and I have a genuine passion for caring for and working with children. I have hands-on childcare experience in both clinical and personal settings. I previously worked in a children’s hospital, where I provided direct care and support to children with a variety of needs. I also worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I supported children with autism and gained valuable experience understanding their individual needs, routines, behaviors, and communication styles. In addition to my professional experience, I have been babysitting my younger cousin since he was 6 months old and continued caring for him through age 7. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children. I am dependable, caring, patient, and attentive, and I understand that every child is unique. I would love the opportunity to provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment while giving parents peace of mind that their little one is in capable hands.

A'Neishia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I bring over five years of experience supporting families with children ranging from infants to school‑age. I’ve worked with families both regularly and on an as‑needed basis, adapting as their schedules and needs changed. I currently work in the school system with Pre‑K through 5th‑grade students, where I assist teachers with interventions and provide support to students with a wide range of academic, behavioral, and social‑emotional needs. This experience has strengthened my creativity and ability to connect with children at different developmental stages. When working with families, I love getting to know each child’s personality, routines, and interests. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as arts and crafts, painting, dancing, homework help, trips to the park or museums, library visits, and supporting bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable offering light potty‑training support when needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks—tidying up, running quick errands, house sitting, or pet sitting (I have a few pets of my own). I can also assist with simple meal prep or light cooking. My goal is always to make your day a little easier and ensure your child feels safe, supported, and cared for.

Ashley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a scientist by day and babysitter by night! Alongside my passion for science is my love for children. Growing up with many younger siblings (as the eldest), I’ve had the privilege of helping care for them from a young age. I’ve also tutored young children (ages 3+) at Kumon here in Baltimore, where I gained experience with creative play and learning. Additionally, I have a master’s degree in biology and come from parents who have a longstanding career in early childhood education. I’m pediatric CPR and First-Aid certified, reliable, patient, compassionate, and most of all filled to the brim with positive energy. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, learning, homework assistance, or additional household daily tasks, I’m here to make a positive difference and help make being a parent a teeny bit easier. Spending time with children brings me positive energy, and it’s the perfect balance to my life as a scientist. I look forward to getting to know you and caring for your little ones.

I specialize in creating warm, structured, and developmentally supportive environments for young children. I’m skilled in early literacy, math, behavior management, and planning hands-on activities that keep children engaged and learning through play. I prioritize safety, communication, and building trusting relationships with families. Whether helping with routines, supporting milestones, or organizing fun and educational activities, I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each child’s needs.
