Find a babysitter in Mount Rainier, MD

Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 38 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.

Hi! I’m Amy, and I’ve been babysitting since high school. Working with kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I graduated from the University of Virginia, where I majored in Psychology and Spanish, and some of my favorite courses focused on infant and child development. I currently work for a school district, primarily with elementary school children, and also have experience as a medical assistant, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for others. I plan on returning to graduate school and am particularly interested in occupational therapy, as I’m passionate about helping children grow and thrive. Having a younger sister with a disability taught me patience, empathy, and how to connect with children of all abilities. I’m COVID vaccinated and comfortable helping with household tasks, meals, homework, and pets, and I’m very hands-on and attentive with kids. I’m available most evenings and weekends and enjoy building meaningful, lasting connections with children and their families.

Hello! My name is Amirah, and I'm currently a business honors student at the University of Maryland. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with children and have experience through family and friends. However, I recently graduated from a teacher prep program at the Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC (dual-enrollment high school), graduating with an associate's degree in teacher preparation. While studying there, I acquired more than 30 hours of observation and hands-on experience in real-world classrooms. I also have experience working with animals, as I have lived with both a dog and two cats before and am used to household chores such as light cleaning (dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and running errands.

Hi! My name is Ada and I'm a junior at the University of Virginia. I am offering childcare and household services. I have helped take care of my two younger brothers and four younger cousins since they were born. I love babysitting and I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (in addition to those I'm related to!) since I was about 13. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with children and playing games (both indoor and outdoor). I have had several jobs tutoring children in reading, writing, math, and French, through Philly Reading Coaches, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, and Teach for America. I'm happy to do any tutoring or homework help. Additionally, in high school, I worked at a summer camp for numerous years and I have experience teaching kids theater, dance, and various sports. In terms of household services, I am incredibly organized and I would be happy to help with organization, cleaning, cooking simple meals, laundry, and any other general tidying up. Thanks so much!

Hi! My name is Reyna. I am a paralegal by profession, which has helped me develop strong organizational skills, attention to detail, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility. I am also fluent in both English and Spanish. My experience with childcare began through being an older sister and helping care for my younger siblings/children of friends and family over several years. This experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I am very active and enjoy hands on activities and being outdoors. I do work full time during the day so my availability is mostly evenings and weekends.
