Booked by 1 family in Abell, MD

Hi! I’m Kelsey — an experienced nanny and infant teacher with a strong background in early childhood care. I’ve worked as a Head Start teacher, infant room teacher, and private nanny, caring for children from newborn through preschool age. I’m especially comfortable with infants and toddlers, including feeding breast milk, supporting developmental milestones, managing routines, and handling illness or challenging behaviors calmly and safely. I’m organized, reliable, and communicative, and I believe in keeping parents informed about their child’s day and development. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, attending library programs, and creating a nurturing environment where children can grow and feel secure. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping and family routines as well. I look forward to supporting your family!

Great communication and very accommodating. Would definitely book again!

It’s always a great feeling when you have someone dependable for quality care. Look no further! My name is Alexandra and I’ve been working with children infant to school age for more than 14 plus years. I gained my first experience working aside my grandmother as an elementary teacher, until she was promoted to principal. After retiring she decided to continue her love for children when she opened her own licensed preschool. At that time I was very young but always said when I grew up I wanted become a teacher. That dream became reality! Today I have not only stuck with early childhood education but now an assistant director at a preschool where I can continue to utilize my creativity through education. I’m loving, caring, honest, fun and enjoy daily making a difference in our little lives life.

Booked by 3 families in Abell, MD

Hello! My name is Kelynn, and I’m currently a senior Computer Science major at Howard University. I am offering child care, tutoring, pet care, and household services. I’ve been caring for children since high school, including babysitting during summers, teaching Sunday school, and working in my church’s nursery. I also have a younger brother who is ten years my junior, which gave me daily, hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages and love engaging them with fun, creative activities. My background as a dancer has taught me how to balance imagination, fun, and discipline. I’m also strong in academics, especially math, and enjoy helping with homework and tutoring. I graduated high school with a 4.2 GPA and currently maintain a 3.9 at Howard. I have my own reliable transportation and am happy to help with drop-offs/pickups. In addition to childcare, I am experienced with pets; I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and am very comfortable with pet care (walking, feeding, playing, etc.).

Thank you!

I got stuck in DC because of flight cancellations and ending up with my 3 year old daughter and prep meeting with clients for an important next day meeting. Mary Beth arrived at the hotel promptly (in advance) and with only a request that afternoon. My daughter loved her. Indeed, she was able to do things with Patina that are hard for me -- get her to draw, tell stories, get her PJs on, and get into bed on time. Terrific.

Amanda Edgewater
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Abell, MD

Hi there! I’m Amanda; a longtime caregiver, former au-pair/nanny, and a single mom of two wonderful kids. Alongside my main work as a consultant, I also serve as a substitute teacher for AACPS, and help coach local kids sports, so I’m used to adapting quickly and connecting with children of all personalities and ages. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility to help local families with babysitting, after-school care, or date nights. Whether it’s keeping little ones engaged with activities, helping with homework, or making sure evenings run smoothly, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable. I'm an energetic, dependable, patient, and easy going Australian, and genuinely enjoy being with kids. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household tasks or pet care when needed. Available for flexible bookings in Edgewater, Annapolis, and nearby areas; open to evening or occasional weekend jobs when my schedule allows.
