Booked by 2 families in Upper Marlboro, MD

I’m an RBT with 3 years of experience working with children with ASD, where I've developed a strong foundation in patience, empathy, and creating supportive environments. I love the field so much I am actively pursuing a Masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In addition to my therapeutic work, I've coached kids ages 3-15 in T-ball, baseball, softball, and soccer, and I played softball myself for 13 years, which has taught me teamwork, discipline, and how to motivate others. I'm CPR certified, and as a proud pet owner of three dogs, I’m experienced in caring for animals as well. I’m passionate about working with kids, whether it’s providing therapy, coaching, or simply making sure they feel safe, engaged, and happy. My compassionate, patient, and reliable nature allows me to build trust with families and create positive experiences for every child I work with.

Booked by 1 family in Upper Marlboro, MD

Hi! I'm Kadima, a happy, energetic college student with 5+ years of childcare experience. I'm naturally great with kids and love keeping them engaged in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I work with an event childcare company, caring for large groups of children (40+ at a time), and I've also been a birthday party hostess and in-home babysitter for families. I have experience shadowing an RBT, working with children with special needs, which has helped me become patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child's needs. I also have experience as a CNA doing homecare. Super okay with pets too (and I'm AHA Certified for Basic Life support! Yay!) I bring a positive attitude, reliability, and lots of energy to every family I work with!

$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Bernice and I am 25 years old. I am from San Antonio Texas but moved here because of the Army. I have been in for 7 years, but my job is currently at a clinic 4 days a week. I’m looking for a side job for occasions and weekends. I can drive and have a Toyota Corolla cross, but I have no car seats. I was a sitter for 2 families during COVID and did weekend and even baby sitting at my old duty station. My experience with these families was amazing because I got to help kids become active and enjoy being creative. I have experience with special needs children, helping with homework, and creating planning parties and hosting activities. One of my families that I baby sat weekly had 3 kids ages 2, 4, and 8. I have worked in the medical field for 7 years and have my CPR and first aid certificate that I must re-certify for every two years. Currently, I am in college and need 7 more classes to finish my bachelors degree in health sciences.
