Booked by 1 family in Spencerville, MD
I'm a warm, dependable caregiver with 20+ years of experience from infants through adolescents, and a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health. I'm also CPR certified for children and adults through the American Red Cross, recently renewed. I believe great childcare starts with getting to know each child and respecting the way each family does things. I like to learn your routines and expectations so I can provide care that feels comfortable and consistent. During our time together, I keep things safe, calm, and fun-whether that means helping with homework, playing a game, getting outside, preparing a meal, or settling into bedtime. I've also worked as a teacher, tutor, and mentor, and I love helping children feel confident, curious, and capable. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to meet kids where they are, and I want parents to feel confident that their children are in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!
āSara has been watching our kids regularly since they were babies, and they still light up whenever they hear she's "coming over to play." She's incredibly reliable and always arrives early. She stays in close touch throughout each visit, sending updates and pictures of whatever fun they're having together, and she's always respectful of our kids' routines, asking thoughtful questions about our expectations for the day. Bedtime is where she has impressed us, she's masterfully guided our kids through bath time, stories, and getting settled for the night, calmly and consistently. Whenever we're in a logistical crunch and I'm stressed about how to make it all work, Sara is the first person I think to call. She's been steady and dependable for our family for years, and she's genuinely a joy to have around and one of the most thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable people I know. We'll keep booking with Sara, and I recommend her to any family looking for a sitter they can truly rely on.ā

Nina $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi mom/dad! A little about me: I've been a caretaker for my younger brother for his whole life pretty much haha along with extended family members' children. I have experience taking care of children aged 0-13 for over. As for pets, I owned a few German shepherds growing up and loved and cared for them deeply, also fostered a bichon frise for a few months in 2022 and it was some of the best few months of my life! Adore animals with all my heart, especially dogs! Did not grow up with cats, but I do not shy away from giving them cuddles when given the chance. Love bunnies too! I'm also a rising junior in college working on personal projects and classes along with some free time on my hands, so availability for babysitting is fairly flexible during the week. A few hobbies of mine: going on road trips either with friends, trying out new places to eat, and thrifting. I'm always available for a video call so we can get to know each other and see whether we are a good fit for each other!
