Hi! My name is Brianca, I am a college student. It is summer break right now. I am here to care for your children during the week. Depending on your schedule I am flexible when school begins again!! I started working with children at a very young age because I love kids. I took a child development class in high school which taught me foundational knowledge about children at a young age. This also allowed me to work face to face with children everyday. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and young children. I am also a graduate student at my university. I specialize in creating, engaging and educational activities while advancing problem solving skills and multitasking skills.

“Brianca is wonderful! Extremely caring and responsible. ”

Hi! My name is Vicki. I’m currently a student at Walden University studying Social Work and an experienced nanny/babysitter based in Bowie, MD. I offer childcare, pet care, and light household services. A little about me: • I have 8+ years of childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks old through age 12. • I am CPR and First Aid trained. • I worked as a daycare teacher from 2[removed] and have been nannying professionally since 2019. • I’m 1 of 12 siblings, so being around children has always been a huge part of my life and something I genuinely enjoy. • I have experience with infants, toddlers, multiples, school-aged children, and managing daily routines. • In addition to childcare, I can assist with driving children, light cleaning, organizing, pet care, grocery shopping/errands, and meal prep. I’m available for babysitting during the week, evenings, weekends, date nights, and overnights. I’m also open to occasional and last-minute care when my schedule allows. I have reliable transportation and references available upon request. I’d love to connect with families looking for a dependable, experienced, and caring nanny or babysitter!

“Vee was great. Our first time with her and the kids loved her. She was on time, and really connected with the kids and got comfortable right away. Kids asked us if she could come back already. Will definitely seek her services again!”

I'm a current master's student studying medical sciences with plans to attend medical school next year. I've always loved working with kids and have several years of experience caring for and engaging with children of all ages. I've led youth ministry at my church, working with toddlers through preteens. This included creating fun and meaningful lessons, supervising during services, and supporting families. My relationships with families in the church have also led to trusted babysitting opportunities. Outside of church, I've volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club, primarily supporting elementary-aged children with science-related activities and after-school care. I come from a large extended family and as the eldest, l've naturally taken on the role of caregiver by providing safe, fun, and nurturing environments for younger family members. I'm known for being patient, dependable, and easy to talk to, and I genuinely enjoy building strong, positive connections with kids and their families.

“Very nice and professional. Arrived on time. Would definitely book her again.”

"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!"
