Hello, my name is Maryam and I'm a recent graduate at UMD. I am offering child care, and household services. As the eldest of 5, I have always loved caring for and engaging with children. I have over three years of professional experience watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids up to 15 years old but have personal experiences of the above since a very young age. My responsibilities have included, crafts, tutoring, cooking, and cleaning. I love to engage the children I care for in a multitude of activities like playing sports, baking, science experiments, different crafts and arts and more!!

I am a senior in high school with a strong passion for working with children. I have taken a Child Development class for two years, where I have learned a lot about child growth and care. Through this class and other experiences, I have worked with children as young as three years old up to almost five-year-olds. I truly enjoy engaging with kids. I love playing with them, talking to them, and creating fun. In addition, I am actively involved at my church every Sunday, where I work with children aged 5 to 10. I help supervise activities, play with them, and encourage positive interaction. I also have experience caring for animals. I have three dogs that I have cared for over the past four years, and I also offer dog-walking services. This experience has taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness qualities I bring to all childcare responsibilities. Overall, my experience with children and animals has given me the skills to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for any child.

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.

Lenora has taken care of both my kids for almost five years. They both adore her. She is experienced in early childhood education and is great with kids.

Hi everyone! I speak English and Spanish. I am a person that I characterize for my punctuality and kindness. I Have been a nanny since I was 17 years old. I love spending time with children, they grow so fast and learn very quickly. I try to help them as much as I can and help them learn new things and that they have confidence in themselves. I enjoy spending time with them. I have my first aid certificate and certificate of training school for the care of children. I like to do many activities with the children at home or outside if the weather permits. I know your children will have a lot of fun and they will learn from me as well as I from them.

Johana was great! My kids are already asking for her to come back. She was punctual, professional, kind, and kept us updated throughout the evening. 100% recommend.

I would love to spend time reading to your children, playing outside, exploring nature, and dancing in the kitchen. I have taught preschool for three years. I have extensive experience babysitting, and I have eight years of teaching experience at the middle and high school level. I speak fluent German, and I would be happy to immerse your children in German and support their language development. I have worked as a full-time nanny for four years, with ages ranging from newborn (twins) to seven. **Allergic to cats**

Jan was on time, very kind, positive and my son had a great time playing with her. She was a great help while my husband and I got chores done around the house!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
