Catherine $20 per hour for 1 child

As a proud mother of two beautiful daughters and a woman of African heritage, I deeply believe in the proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This belief is at the heart of how I care for and connect with children. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Motherhood has gifted me with patience, gentleness, and empathy, while my experience in a school setting has expanded my understanding of child development and creative learning. I cherish the opportunity to inspire curiosity, emotional growth, and joyful exploration—making me a thoughtful, community-minded, and dedicated nanny/helper.

Maimounat $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Maimounat, but please feel free to call me Jackie! I am proudly graduated from the Teacher Academy of Maryland, a rigorous high school program that equipped me with real classroom experience, lesson planning skills, and a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. Beyond my credentials, I bring warmth, patience, and a natural ability to connect with children of all ages — creating a fun, structured, and loving environment wherever I go. I am responsible, dependable, and deeply compassionate, always going above and beyond to make sure both children and families feel supported. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with a range of household services including light housekeeping, meal preparation for children, homework help, laundry, tidying up common areas, and helping maintain a smooth and organized home while parents are away. Whether you're looking for after-school care, full-time support, or a helping hand around the house, I am ready to show up with a smile and give your family my very best!

Amirah $21 per hour for 1 child

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.
