Booked by 2 families in Lansdowne, MD

Hi, I’m Cia! I come from a big, loving family, so caring for kids has always been a part of my life. I’ve been helping take care of my nieces and nephews since I was about eight years old, and over the years, it’s become something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve also volunteered at churches to watch over children during services and events, which helped me learn how to create a safe, fun, and trusting environment for kids of all ages. I take pride in making sure every child I care for feels seen, valued, and cared for. My goal is to be someone kids can trust, look up to, and feel comfortable around while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands.

“Tycia is timely, communicative, and respectful. She is kind and patient with the kids. My family enjoys working with her.”

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!
