Find a babysitter in Sandy Spring, MD

I have 5 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in a daycare setting. I’m also currently a part time nanny for a 4 year old and a 2 year old 🙂

I have worked at an elementary school taking care of 25 kids. Being creative and finding activities for kids to do is very important. Painting, drawing, any games that they like. It’s also very important to lead Children to make sure rules are followed so they are safe at all times. Through getting to know them and being a good listener, over time they will feel more comfortable.

I am a caring, reliable professional with over 15 years of experience working with children and families. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is safe, loved, and well cared for. I have completed extensive training in the early childhood education field, including Medication Administration, Basic Health and Safety, First Aid, CPR/AED, Seizure Training, and Emergency Preparedness. With this knowledge, I am able to care for children confidently and calmly, with safety always at the forefront. I am patient, dependable, and committed to creating a calm, nurturing environment while building trusting, positive relationships with both children and families.

Hi! I’m a second grade teacher in the MCPS district with a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 12 years as a barber, where I built strong connections with kids and families. I’ve also been babysitting since my early teenage years, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I’m happy to help with homework, plan creative activities, go on nature walks, drive to and from extracurriculars, assist with housekeeping, and, of course, be a little silly and have fun! I am seeking summer employment, but until then, I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I’m also open to last-minute care when you need an extra hand.

Hello! My name is Kayla. Please read my profile before booking to see if I and my policies are a good fit for your family, as I am only accepting ad hoc care needs and not currently looking to add a scheduled position :) Note: I will be out of the country on my honeymoon from 2/14/19 through 3/4/2019. A little bit about myself: I enjoy working on my house, gardening, going to the theater (Hamilton!), politics, running, traveling, hiking, tennis, cooking, reading (!!!!), good television (love The Office!), entertaining friends and family, and learning. I am a happy young woman, very organized, focused, self motivated, responsible, punctual and energetic. I like to be active and fill my time up with hobbies and activities. I have my own reliable transportation (my own car), as well as live one minute from the Shady Grove Metro station, and am well versed in driving in rush hour, early mornings and late nights. I am currently in college as an elementary education major; my class schedule changes each term.

I have been with them for 7.5 years. I create, plan and organize that include games, crafts, yoga, songs, books, cooking, science experiments, field trips and other diverse, fun activities. We go on outings to the library, different parks and trails, museums, play spaces, gyms, theaters, the pool and water parks, bowling, ice skating, nature centers and gardens, memorials, even train stations, fire departments and recycling centers! We get outdoors often, eat well and try to be well rounded. Reading is a passion of mine, and I love to pass it on to younger generations. While we learn a lot, we also have a ton of fun and laugh the whole time!
