$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lexington Park, MD

Hi! I’m Kelsey — an experienced nanny and infant teacher with a strong background in early childhood care. I’ve worked as a Head Start teacher, infant room teacher, and private nanny, caring for children from newborn through preschool age. I’m especially comfortable with infants and toddlers, including feeding breast milk, supporting developmental milestones, managing routines, and handling illness or challenging behaviors calmly and safely. I’m organized, reliable, and communicative, and I believe in keeping parents informed about their child’s day and development. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, attending library programs, and creating a nurturing environment where children can grow and feel secure. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping and family routines as well. I look forward to supporting your family!

Great communication and very accommodating. Would definitely book again!

Booked by 1 family in Lexington Park, MD

Hi there! I’m Amanda; a longtime caregiver, former au-pair/nanny, and a single mom of two wonderful kids. Alongside my main work as a consultant, I also serve as a substitute teacher for AACPS, and help coach local kids sports, so I’m used to adapting quickly and connecting with children of all personalities and ages. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility to help local families with babysitting, after-school care, or date nights. Whether it’s keeping little ones engaged with activities, helping with homework, or making sure evenings run smoothly, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable. I'm an energetic, dependable, patient, and easy going Australian, and genuinely enjoy being with kids. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household tasks or pet care when needed. Available for flexible bookings in Edgewater, Annapolis, and nearby areas; open to evening or occasional weekend jobs when my schedule allows.
