I'm a college student, just finished with my freshman year at Florida State University, and someone who has a genuine passion for caring for kids. I am both First Aid and CPR certified, and ready to create a fun and engaging environment that supports your family's needs. I have experience babysitting for events such as weddings, working at a summer camp, volunteering as an elementary school helper, and also assisting friends and family with childcare. Whether it's creating arts and crafts, doing homework, playing fun outdoor games, or creating meals together, I am ready to help kids learn and grow. I have my own car, have experience with children of all ages and caring for pets as well. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call!

Booked by 1 family in Bethlehem, 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.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 143 families in Bethlehem, MD

I am currently only available for date nights, weekends, and holidays. My name is Sarah and I am a graduate of Fordham University at Lincoln Center in New York City. I have taken courses in Early Childhood and Special Education. I spent awhile in graduate school at the University of Massachusetts. I currently live in Delaware and work as an archaeologist for the State. I started babysitting for people outside my family when I was twelve, and so I've been babysitting for about 14 years now. I have two younger siblings that I have watched for much longer than that. I have watched newborns up to teenagers. I have done everything from a full time nannying position to a mother's helper to just date night sitting. I have experience with large groups of children, through working with both mothers groups and running crafts and activities at a small toy store. I also have experience with children with autism and various special needs. I have worked with children with Downs, but I have the most experience with autistic children. I have worked in several preschool as a substitute. I love taking the kids outside to play. I've been told I can play a mean game of Princess Wizard Ninja make-believe. If it's not a great day outside, I love playing games with the kids inside. I bond with kids using their interests to engage them in age appropriate activities. I do have access to a car and I don't mind running errands or helping with household chores and cooking. I also have no problem with pets in the household. I am more than happy to meet in person or schedule a phone/Skype interview before watching your children. I am more than happy to provide references as well!

We were nervous about hiring a babysitter out of state to watch our kids during a wedding, but Sarah quickly put us at ease. She received rave reviews from our 4 year old and 2 year old. We would certainly hire her again if we lived in the area. Thank you, Sarah, for your help!
