Booked by 16 families in Dickerson, MD

Hello! I am a Graduate Student at Columbia University with a passion for working with children! I have six years of experience with children, through teaching dance/gymnastics, being a camp counselor, babysitting and tutor. I love to diy projects, dance, reading, listening to music, and spending time outside!

Tania was great! My kids loved having her over. She was professional, kind, and she got my two rambunctious toddlers to sleep on time (not an easy feat). Thanks Tania!

Booked by 1 family in Dickerson, MD

Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.

Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.

Cheyenne Adamstown
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cheyenne, and I’m a caring, reliable childcare provider with a strong background in early childhood education. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager, which gave me an early foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with children of different ages and personalities. Professionally, I started as a substitute teacher in a daycare setting, which allowed me to gain experience across multiple classrooms and age groups. From there, I was promoted to a Pre-K assistant teacher and later worked as a school-age teacher, where I continued building meaningful connections and supporting children’s learning and development. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s helping with early learning activities, homework, or just making sure your child has a great time, I bring patience, structure, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your children, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care you can feel confident in.
