“Lagayle was reliable, punctual, and accommodating on a short-notice booking. She was warm and engaging with my baby from the moment she arrived and handled the evening and bedtime routine with care. She was pleasant, kind, and attentive throughout the stay. I would definitely book with her again!”
Hi families, my name is Aysha and I am a college graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. I am located in Upper Marlboro, MD and I am CPR certified. 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. My responsibilities have included cooking meals, creating fun arts & crafts, picking up and dropping off to school, tutoring and much more. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I hope to be a reliable and supportive extra set of hands, and a positive addition to your family.

Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 38 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.
Hi there! I am a mom of two children living in the DMV area. I have been caregiving for years prior to having children of my own and truly enjoy caring for little people.

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!”

"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!"
