From infants to toddlers and preteens, I have worked with multiple families at an home daycare center for six years. In addition to babysitting/nannying for various families since last year.

Booked by 4 families in Clinton, MD

I’m an educator who currently works at a PreK–12 school and have experience working with children and teens of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and love making sure kids are safe while still having fun! Depending on what your kiddos enjoy, I’m always down for arts and crafts, baking, board games, movie nights, trips to the park, library outings, or coming up with a fun activity at home. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, and transportation. I have my own reliable car and am comfortable with school pickups/drop-offs and getting kids to activities. I’m also happy to help around the house with laundry, dishes, tidying up, and light cleaning. I’m flexible and happy to work with whatever routines make things easiest for your family.

“We think Ashley is fantastic! She’s so sweet and the babies love her. Definitely hire her!”

Booked by 2 families in Clinton, MD

Hi, my name is Myka! I’ve always had a passion caring for children ever since I could remember. I’ve gained several years of childcare experience, caring for ages newborn to school-age in various settings such as daycare, in-home nanny and being a school nurse. Being a mother myself has also given me further knowledge and experience in caring for newborns to school-age.

“Myka is wonderful to work with! She is reliable, punctual and most importantly she is so kind and loving with our two energetic boys and we came back to two very happy kids who asked when she could come back again. ”

Booked by 2 families in Clinton, MD

⸻ Hi! I just graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. I’ve been babysitting on and off for the past seven years and love working with kids of all ages (and pets too!). I’m easygoing, funny, and always up for a good game, craft, or kitchen adventure. Cooking’s one of my favorite hobbies, and I can’t wait to explore DC! I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and positive environment wherever I go!

“I used Genevieve for household services. We were away from our house for 3 weeks and needed her to come twice a week to house sit - taking care of plants, bringing in the mail, etc. She followed the directions to a tee and even went above and beyond to think ahead such as accounting for extreme weather conditions. Genevieve had great communication throughout the entire duration. She was very dependable and someone you can definitely trust. I had a great experience overall and highly recommend her.”

“I got stuck in DC because of flight cancellations and ending up with my 3 year old daughter and prep meeting with clients for an important next day meeting. Mary Beth arrived at the hotel promptly (in advance) and with only a request that afternoon. My daughter loved her. Indeed, she was able to do things with Patina that are hard for me -- get her to draw, tell stories, get her PJs on, and get into bed on time. Terrific.”

"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!"
