Hi, My name is Nyeasha and I am a graduate of East Carolina University with a degree in English and a minor in Child Pedagogy. I have been in childcare since I was young. The ages of the children that I have taken care of range from infancy to 11 years. I currently work at a Law Firm during the day so my availability is limited to nights and weekends. I hope to hear from you soon :) -Nyeasha

“Nyeasha is so nice - our 4 year old was immediately comfortable with her and had a good time!”

Hello! My name is Adetomilola, but many people call me Angie. I am 23 years old and a student at the University of Maryland, College Park pursuing a degree in information science. In my free time I like to sing, watch movies, and read. I love taking care of infants, toddlers, and young children. It's amazing to see how they grow and develop into who they are meant to be. I value being able to have a positive impact on them by providing kind and loving care and by keeping them engaged throughout the day. I have 6 nieces and nephews ranging from the age of 3 months to 8 years old, and I have had a hand in the care of every one of them. I have also provided childcare for numerous family friends, members of my community, and extended family. Recently, I have been assisting a family with caring for their 2 year old and 5 month old. That includes changing diapers, preparing meals, light housekeeping, bathing, nap times, and other parts of their routine. I am a stickler for cleanliness and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for your children. I treat every child with the same love and attention that I would give my family. I am new to this platform, but I’m so excited to get to work. I hope I get to meet your family soon!

“Very responsive, and handled our two kids excellently well and with care. Definitely recommend.”

Shelby $25 per hour for 1 child

My husband and I live in Takoma Park in where he attends a doctoral program at UMD. We recently moved from the Boston area where I nannied and worked at a university. I have a degree in theatre arts and began my career working in children's theater. I find myself happiest when laughing with kids, playing games, teaching them songs and dances or just getting to know about their lives. With a strong academic background, I'm a big fan of organization and also seek to always treat kids with mutual respect and good manners. I like to have adventures with kids but I also enjoy quiet moments of reading, learning, and playing. Additionally I like helping with some household tasks (I love a tidy play room during nap time or helping with bottle washing, etc) I've mostly worked with ages 6 months-10 years old.
