Greetings Families, My name is Mikiyah, I’m 19, and I’m passionate about caring for others — whether it’s children, pets, or helping keep a home organized. I’m currently located in White Plains, Maryland, and I graduated from St. Charles High School, Class of 2024. I’m about to start my associate’s degree in health sciences to become a dental hygienist, and I’m also exploring creative outlets with social media content creation. I’ve worked with children my whole life and truly enjoy nurturing and supporting them. Growing up in a big family, I’ve always taken care of kids of all ages, which helped me develop patience, empathy, and a genuine love for helping others grow. My first job as a summer camp counselor in middle school sparked my passion for childcare, and in 2024, I worked as a children’s mentor/assistant at the College of Southern Maryland, guiding and supporting students in their learning and daily routines. I also understand the importance of caring for elders — I spent the last months of my great-grandmother’s life supporting her through illness, which taught me compassion, patience, and the importance of being attentive and reliable. While I haven’t formally pet-sat yet, I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. I recently lost my puppy unexpectedly, which strengthened my empathy and respect for animals — I know how much their lives and happiness matter. I treat every pet with love, patience, and attentiveness, and I’m eager to provide care for furry family members. Outside of work, I’m a creative and fun-loving person. I enjoy music, comedy, fashion, traveling, and experimenting in the kitchen — I love baking any sweet treat I can find a new recipe for! I’m an empath, so I deeply connect with the people and pets I care for, always aiming to make them feel safe, happy, and supported. Currently, I work at a bakery and deli, which has taught me responsibility, teamwork, and attention to detail in a fast-paced environment. I’m reliable, professional, and nurturing. Families can expect clear communication, consistency, and genuine care from me every day. I take pride in creating a clean, safe, and joyful environment for children, pets, and homes alike.
Mature and trustworthy babysitter. CPR and First Aid certified, consistently received positive feedback from parents. I have enjoyed working with newborns up 10 years old. I'm looking for a new family to support in caring for their children. I'm a mother of 2 amazing teenagers they are 18 and 24. I garden during my time off, seeing the blooms is very rewarding. This is a reference from Mrs. Stacei bass Marisol has provided care on a regular basis for my 15 month son since he was 8 weeks old. She's incredibly caring and helpful. Marisol spends a lot of time outside with him and keeps his active when indoors. She does not use her phone other than pictures while watching him and is always responsive to my check-in text messages.
“On time, engaging and very attentive with our three busy boys. ”
Grandma to two lovely human beings as well as two spoiled rotten dogs. I have a 30+ year as Nursing Assistant and also lots of years experience taking care of children. I have in recent years been taking care of my daughters two pitbulls and I have a deep love for their wellbeing.
“I travel a lot for work and can count on Yvonne to take care of my two dogs. They love her.”
Hi! My name is Mincie. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’ve worked in a licensed daycare, provided one-on-one tutoring, and served as a summer camp counselor, giving me strong skills in safety, engagement, and age-appropriate activities. Parents describe me as patient, dependable, and calm, even in busy or high-energy situations. I love creating fun, screen-free activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping routines consistent. I always prioritize communication and safety, and I treat every child with kindness and respect. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute care. I would love to support your family — please feel free to reach out with any questions!
“I highly recommend Mincie for any family looking for someone dependable and professional. She is responsible, punctual, and communicates clearly, which made it easy to trust her with our child. She has a calm, patient approach and handled daily routines, meals, and activities with confidence. She was attentive, safety-focused, and genuinely engaged with our child at all times. We always felt comfortable knowing our child was in capable hands, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other families.”
It’s always a great feeling when you have someone dependable for quality care. Look no further! My name is Alexandra and I’ve been working with children infant to school age for more than 14 plus years. I gained my first experience working aside my grandmother as an elementary teacher, until she was promoted to principal. After retiring she decided to continue her love for children when she opened her own licensed preschool. At that time I was very young but always said when I grew up I wanted become a teacher. That dream became reality! Today I have not only stuck with early childhood education but now an assistant director at a preschool where I can continue to utilize my creativity through education. I’m loving, caring, honest, fun and enjoy daily making a difference in our little lives life.
