Hi my name is Zyné! I’m currently a senior in high-school along with working to attain my associates degree at Prince George’s community college. I’m offering Child care, & pet care services. I love being able to be a helping hand and provide support to those who need it, whether that’s taking care of your babies while you’re away or stoping by the house to make sure your fur babies are fed, getting active, and loved on. I have been surrounded by all different types of animals along with a variety of ages for 8+ years. I’ve had the blessing of babysitting my nephews and niece, newborn to toddler for 4 years so far and continuing, along with babysitting family friends children providing comfort, care, freshly cooked meals, outside activities, etc.
Bilingual nanny (Spanish/English) with experience caring for infants and older children. I specialize in calm and structured evening routines. Responsible, patient, and organized. I have my own car and strong references. Available evenings Mon–Fri 6:30pm–10:30pm and weekends 6:00pm–10:00pm. Rate: $32-30/hr
Hi there! I’m Amanda; a longtime caregiver, former au-pair/nanny, and a single mom of two wonderful kids. Alongside my main work as a consultant, I also serve as a substitute teacher for AACPS, and help coach local kids sports, so I’m used to adapting quickly and connecting with children of all personalities and ages. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility to help local families with babysitting, after-school care, or date nights. Whether it’s keeping little ones engaged with activities, helping with homework, or making sure evenings run smoothly, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable. I'm an energetic, dependable, patient, and easy going Australian, and genuinely enjoy being with kids. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household tasks or pet care when needed. Available for flexible bookings in Edgewater, Annapolis, and nearby areas; open to evening or occasional weekend jobs when my schedule allows.

"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!"
