Lachelle $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lachelle, and I have 6 years of experience as a prekindergarten teacher in Baltimore City Public Schools, as well as experience as a daycare teacher (infants, 1s & 2s), and a babysitter. I specialize in creating warm, structured, and developmentally supportive environments for young children. I’m skilled in early literacy, math, behavior management, and planning hands-on activities that keep children engaged and learning through play. I prioritize safety, communication, and building trusting relationships with families. Whether helping with routines, supporting milestones, or organizing fun and educational activities, I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each child’s needs.

Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am a registered nurse with over 5 years of experience, including a strong background in infant care. Before nursing, I spent more than 3 years as a daycare teacher, primarily working with infants ages 8 weeks to 1 year, and frequently assisting in classrooms with children ages 3-5. I was well known in the daycare center for Craft Days with Ms. Sam. I am calm, attentive, and genuinely love supporting children's growth and routines, while always prioritizing safety, comfort and fun!

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
