Booked by 1 family in Burtonsville, MD

As a mother of two grown children and a delighted grandmother, I have a wealth of experience with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic school-aged kids. I've also had the pleasure of looking after my sister's four little ones when they were babies (they're all grown up now) and caring for my great-nieces and nephews. Caring for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children truly brings me joy. I love taking them on adventures to parks, museums, the zoo, and other safe, fun places. Some of my favorite activities include reading stories, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and engaging in educational games. You can trust me to keep your child(ren) safe, happy, and entertained. I'm a warm-hearted person who will treat your kids with the same love and care as my own.

“We absolutely love having her as our babysitter! From the moment she arrives, she brings such a warm, caring presence that makes our child feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly affectionate and nurturing, always ready with a comforting hug and so much patience. One of our favorite things is how much she loves reading. She spends quality time sharing books with our child. It's clear she genuinely enjoys engaging with children in meaningful ways. She is also exceptionally reliable and dependable. We always know we can count on her to be on time, communicate well, and provide excellent care. Her behavior management skills are outstanding—she sets clear, kind boundaries and handles challenging moments with calm confidence and consistency.”

Hello! My name is Bitania (Bee-tan-ya) and I would be happy to help any family in need of a caring sitter! I have experience caring for infants and children below the age of 13 from taking care of my little cousins and younger brother (since birth). I worked in my church's nursery for 4 years, which had children aged 1-8 years old. I love to get creative and make games/activities for the kids I care for. I am energetic and can keep up with kid’s high energy! I am currently working in child life and development and have been trained to do activities with babies that support their mental development and physical growth. I am also CPR certified and was trained as an emergency medical responder. I am a recent college graduate and can assist with homework assignments or tutoring! I have no problem preparing meals and helping with a bed/bath routine as well. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and don't mind wearing a mask in the house if that's your preference. Thank you for reading my intro :).

"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!"
