Charlotte $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Charlotte and I would love to be able to lend some help to families in the Baltimore area. I am currently a junior at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, studying political science. I have been babysitting since my early teen years and was a volunteer counselor at Catonsville Presbyterian Church's summer camp for two years. While the majority of my experience is with school age children, I have also worked with toddlers and older infants. I am happy to cook simple meals, do dishes, and pretty much any other chores that might be needed around the house. Aside from that, I’m a fun-loving, attentive, and creative caregiver, always happy to spend time with kids. Looking forward to lending a hand and please don't hesitate to message me with any questions!

Booked by 1 family in Hanover, MD

As a mother of two grown children and a delighted grandmother, I have a wealth of experience with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic school-aged kids. I've also had the pleasure of looking after my sister's four little ones when they were babies (they're all grown up now) and caring for my great-nieces and nephews. Caring for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children truly brings me joy. I love taking them on adventures to parks, museums, the zoo, and other safe, fun places. Some of my favorite activities include reading stories, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and engaging in educational games. You can trust me to keep your child(ren) safe, happy, and entertained. I'm a warm-hearted person who will treat your kids with the same love and care as my own.

We absolutely love having her as our babysitter! From the moment she arrives, she brings such a warm, caring presence that makes our child feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly affectionate and nurturing, always ready with a comforting hug and so much patience. One of our favorite things is how much she loves reading. She spends quality time sharing books with our child. It's clear she genuinely enjoys engaging with children in meaningful ways. She is also exceptionally reliable and dependable. We always know we can count on her to be on time, communicate well, and provide excellent care. Her behavior management skills are outstanding—she sets clear, kind boundaries and handles challenging moments with calm confidence and consistency.

Teaja $16 per hour for 1 child

I’m the second oldest of six kids, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I naturally take on a leadership role and often help my younger siblings whether that’s preparing meals, helping with homework, keeping them on schedule, or making sure they’re ok. I also help care for my great grandmother from time to time, helping with light chores and meals. Being part of a big family has taught me patience, responsibility and how to stay calm in busy situations. I’m dependable, nurturing and enjoy helping others feel safe and cared for.
