Booked by 20 families in Mitchellville, MD

Hello, my name is Michelle and I’ve taken care of kids since the end of my high school year. What I most like about babysitting is the environment the child makes by being creative and learning from each thing they do and it’s basically never a dull moment. My motive is to help out parents and give them a fresh start each day when coming back home from work. I also have experience with newborns. I am a recent college graduate and soon to transferring to University to get my bachelors degree.

Hi, my name is Myka! I’ve always had a passion caring for children ever since I could remember. I’ve gained several years of childcare experience, caring for ages newborn to school-age in various settings such as daycare, in-home nanny and being a school nurse. Being a mother myself has also given me further knowledge and experience in caring for newborns to school-age.

“Myka is wonderful to work with! She is reliable, punctual and most importantly she is so kind and loving with our two energetic boys and we came back to two very happy kids who asked when she could come back again. ”

Hi! My name is Brianca, I am a college student. It is summer break right now. I am here to care for your children during the week. Depending on your schedule I am flexible when school begins again!! I started working with children at a very young age because I love kids. I took a child development class in high school which taught me foundational knowledge about children at a young age. This also allowed me to work face to face with children everyday. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and young children. I am also a graduate student at my university. I specialize in creating, engaging and educational activities while advancing problem solving skills and multitasking skills.

“Brianca is wonderful! Extremely caring and responsible. ”
