Hi! My name is Teresa. I'm from Baltimore county (Halethorpe). I'm known for my patience, creativity, and friendly demeanor, which allows me to connect with children of all ages. I love utilizing board games and doing fun crafts. With about 6 years of experience working with kids, I'm comfortable caring for up to three children. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules while maintaining a nurturing environment. I'm First Aid and CPR trained and have completed come coursework on Child Development as well. I am also currently a Teacher Assistant at BCPS, currently working with Kindergarten. As for pet care, I have plenty of experience pet sitting my family's doggo's/ kitties, as well as professional sitting/ boarding. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your family!
“Teresa is lovely. Very friendly and professional. My son loved her.”
I am originally an Early Childhood Educator by profession. I have been working with young children since 2011. I have experience also in working and helping older kids as well as seniors. I am also a mother and always try to treat children the way I would want my children to be treated. I enjoy being around kids and enjoy being a help for others that may need it.
Hi! My name is Zion and I am currently a sophomore at Coppin State University. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I love working with children, and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children for more than 8+ years. Additionally, I am an assistant teacher at a daycare facility when I am on breaks from school. My responsibilities have included feeding, potty training/diaper changing, crafts, and tutoring. I am also open to cleaning, cooking, and running errands. To add on, I am comfortable with working with animals.
I’m the second oldest of six kids, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I naturally take on a leadership role and often help my younger siblings whether that’s preparing meals, helping with homework, keeping them on schedule, or making sure they’re ok. I also help care for my great grandmother from time to time, helping with light chores and meals. Being part of a big family has taught me patience, responsibility and how to stay calm in busy situations. I’m dependable, nurturing and enjoy helping others feel safe and cared for.
Hi - my name is Phoenix and I’m a current Junior at UMBC studying biology. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been sitting since 14 years old. I currently volunteer at MWPH in the school age division, so I’m comfortable looking after children who may need extra attention. I have access to a car and tutoring experience. I work as a house/pet sitter as well and have experience with both cats (newborn to adult), and dogs (over one year). I also work as a household assistant and can run errands and clean.

"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!"
