$20 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caregiving, supported by both my education and hands-on experience. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which has given me a deep understanding of emotional development, communication, and how to support individuals with patience and empathy. In terms of experience, I have worked with children in both structured and informal settings, helping with daily routines, play, and emotional support. I’m comfortable managing different age groups and understand the importance of creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. I also have experience assisting with household tasks such as meal preparation, light cleaning, and organization, which helps keep things running smoothly for families. My personality is one of my biggest strengths as a caregiver. I am patient, dependable, attentive, and compassionate. I take the time to understand each person’s unique needs and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m also very responsible and communicative, so families can feel confident that their loved ones are in good hands. Additionally, I am comfortable around pets and can assist with basic pet care, including feeding, walking, and providing attention. Overall, I bring a well-rounded, caring, and reliable approach to caregiving that focuses on safety, trust, and genuine connection.

Booked by 1 family in Edgewater, MD

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.

Nikki Bowie
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Nikki. I recently retired from the federal government and am excited to now dedicate my time to helping families in my community. I’m a proud mom of four wonderful adult children, ages 20–32, and I bring over 32 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. My childcare experience started early—my grandmother owned a daycare, and I worked alongside her in high school providing before care, aftercare, overnight, and full-day care. That experience gave me a strong foundation in creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments for children. I also hold a Food Handler’s License, so preparing meals and snacks is never a problem. In addition to childcare, I love pets and would be happy to help with pet sitting. I also enjoy supporting seniors and am available for non-medical companionship, light errands, or simply providing a friendly helping hand. I truly love caring for others, whether it’s children, pets, or seniors, and I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate.
