$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ashton, MD

Hi! I am a returning college student studying animal science (previous engineer haha) I have always loved children and hope to have a child of my own someday, but since this is not the right time for me yet, I thought babysitting would be a wonderful way to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy while also helping other families. I am caring, patient, responsible, and very attentive. I also love animals, so I am very comfortable with families who have pets. I would love to be someone you can trust to care for your little ones with lots of kindness and attention! +) I can speak Korean as native level!

Nichole $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Nichole! I’m currently a nursing student getting ready to graduate, and I’m especially interested in working with children and eventually becoming a NICU nurse. I’m BLS certified and have experience in healthcare settings, so safety, patience, and being attentive to others’ needs are very important to me. While I’m newer to professional babysitting, I’m comfortable caring for and interacting with children and would love the opportunity to build more childcare experience. I’m dependable, patient, caring, and easygoing, and I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and preferences. I can help with playtime, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, light tidying, and keeping little ones entertained and safe. I also have plenty of experience caring for pets, so I’m very comfortable in homes with dogs and cats. I’d love to connect with families looking for a trustworthy and responsible sitter for date nights, occasional care, or other babysitting needs!

Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ashton, MD

Hi, my name is Olivia. I am currently in nursing school. I am offering baby sitting care and some household services. I do have my CNA license and I have grown up taking care of my 5 nieces and nephews which included bathing, cooking and just keeping them company. Personality-wise I would say I’m very caring, very responsible, trustworthy, I can be quiet sometimes/shy but I do open up if a safe environment is provided and I am loving.

"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!"
