Creative, patient, compassionate and professional nanny dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment for children, I have 5 years of experience with children of ages between 4 months to 12 years. I'm a person who enjoys spending time with children doing activities like picnics, going to the playground and riding scooters, dancing, cooking , building Legos and puzzles, crafts, read. Now that summer season is coming there is a lot of fun outdoors activities to do and also with water. In my experience I like to engage the baby in age-appropriate play and activities that stimulate their senses and promote learning such as trying different textures, staring pinching objects and developing hand motor skills, reading books and showing pictures of objects to identify them, tummy time, Motivate and emphasize activities when appropriate, crawling and walking, first steps, I am a person who loves nature and animals, I like to go for a walk with the children in the stroller and let them get some sunshine. I would love to be those extra hands that you need at home when you’re working or doing your own thing having the certainty that your children will be ok will me and I’ll help you as much as I can. I'm pet friendly, I have First Aid/CPR certificate, driver license and clean record. I speak English and Spanish. If you're interested, I can teach the children some basic things in Spanish
As a high school teacher, lacrosse coach, loving Aunt, and dog owner, I bring years of experience working closely with children and teens in both educational and athletic settings. I'm passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for kids of all ages. My background has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and a deep understanding of child development and behavior. I have my B.S. in Biobehavioral health from Penn State University. I currently teach Health and Nutrition at St John’s College High school, and I’ve also worked at several different universities including Boston University and Georgetown University. According to feedback I’ve received from supervisors, I create a safe and welcoming environment and successfully keep children engaged and interested in class. I’ve coached all levels of lacrosse including youth, high school, and college. I also have experience being a live-in caregiver for my grandmother. I’m comfortable with light household tasks and pet care. Families can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and caring.
Hi, I'm Maddie! I'm a graduate student at UMD and I am currently offering child care services. I love working with and empowering kids and have previously had roles as a summer science camp teacher and summer library staff where I primarily have cared for school-aged children. I love doing crafts, reading, and playing games with kids and I occasionally tutor.
“Maddie is absolutely wonderful! It was her first time meeting my son, who’s on the spectrum, and they connected right away. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with his care. Maddie even handled driving him to and from his ABA therapy, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found her and look forward to having her help again on future dates.”
