Booked by 4 families in Parkville, MD

Hi, I’m Noor☺️! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic graduate community college student with experience caring for children from infants to school age. I used to work part-time at a daycare for 5+ years and also babysit for several families, giving me hands-on experience with routines, playtime, meals, naps, and creating a safe, positive environment for kids of all ages. I love keeping children engaged through crafts, pretend play, outdoor walks, playground trips, and fun activities that encourage creativity and learning. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with dog sitting and dog walking, so I’m very comfortable around pets! My goal is always to make children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I truly enjoy building strong connections with both kids and families, and I’m excited to help however I can :)

Noor has been absolutely incredible. She showed such comforting level of care for our high energy toddler. She is always incredibly sweet, kind, and emotionally intelligent towards our daughter and even managed to create an immediate comfort with our other child who is severely disabled and limited in his ability to interact. Our family could not recommend Noor enough, she will always be welcomed in our home.

Hi! My name is Nina, and I’m a responsible and caring babysitter with a 90-hour childcare certification and hands-on experience from my stepmom’s in-home daycare and working at my high school’s preschool. As a pre-nursing student, I’m passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. I love engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, as well as helping with homework, bedtime routines, and light meal prep. My goal is to make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable and happy while I’m around. I’d love to help out! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

She was on time. My child really connected with her and was sad to see her go.

Hi! My name is Marianna and I am 23 years old. I'm a reliable and easygoing sitter with 8 years of experience caring for children ages 1-13. I currently work full-time during the week (9-5), so I'm available for weeknight and weekend babysitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment--whether that's playing outside, doing crafts, board games, movie nights, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at once and am happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and pet care as needed. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving for school pickups, activities, errands, etc. Families describe me as patient, dependable, calm, and approachable, and I always try to make both parents and kids feel comfortable. I'm happy to provide references upon request and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can!

Latrenda $8 per hour for 1 child

With a natural nurturing spirit and years of hands-on caregiving experience, I have a passion for supporting children, seniors, and pets in safe, clean, and loving environments. My background includes working a private home caregiving setting, where I’ve gained a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of every individual—whether it’s a curious toddler, a senior in need of patience and companionship, or a beloved family pet. Growing up in a close-knit, multi-generational family taught me the value of respect, empathy, and responsibility from an early age. Over the years, I’ve extended that care into helping families maintain peace of mind by knowing their loved ones are safe, happy, and well cared for. Personality Traits: Compassionate & Patient: I’m deeply empathetic and calm under pressure, making me especially effective with children, elderly individuals, and animals who need gentle, understanding care. Trustworthy & Responsible: Families trust me to manage care routines, medications, and household responsibilities with the utmost honesty and reliability. Energetic & Engaging: I bring positivity and enthusiasm to every day—whether it’s playing games with kids, encouraging seniors to stay active and engaged, or making pets feel loved and secure. Detail-Oriented & Clean: Cleanliness is a priority for me. I maintain tidy, sanitary environments to ensure health and comfort for everyone in the home. Adaptable & Observant: I quickly learn routines, identify needs, and respond appropriately to any changes in behavior or health. Qualifications & Skills: Child Care: Experience with infants to school-aged children, including feeding, diapering, homework help, activity planning, and behavior guidance. Senior Care: Skilled in companionship, mobility support, meal prep, medication reminders, and light medical assistance (as permitted). Sensitive to cognitive and physical changes associated with aging. Pet Care: Comfortable with all breeds and sizes—providing feeding, walking, medication administration, grooming, and companionship. Housekeeping & Cleaning: Strong cleaning skills including sanitizing surfaces, laundry, dishes, organizing, and maintaining a hygienic and orderly living space.
