Hello, hello out there! My name is Sarai (pronounced Sa-rah-eeeee). I’m from Baltimore, MD. Serving the Baltimore-Washington area. Currently at capacity with families.
Hi there! I am a registered nurse with over 5 years of experience, including a strong background in infant care. Before nursing, I spent more than 3 years as a daycare teacher, primarily working with infants ages 8 weeks to 1 year, and frequently assisting in classrooms with children ages 3-5. I was well known in the daycare center for Craft Days with Ms. Sam. I am calm, attentive, and genuinely love supporting children's growth and routines, while always prioritizing safety, comfort and fun!
I have worked with children and youth since high school. I had the desire to work with children and youth as an adult however I haven’t had the chance to really balance that with school and work. Now that I am older and have more availability I want to pursue my passion with working with children and youth. I have a degree in family and humanities and I am a veteran. Over the years I’ve always wanted to pursue having a daycare center or a family based childcare. I still have that passion so I am looking to build a trusted and useful community for those who need my services. I am looking to provide support to families who do not work the traditional 9 to 5 working hours. My services is available for those who work non-traditional hours. The evening/overnight shift and those who work various changing work schedules. I received my experience with working with children and youth through internships, community engagements, and helping family and friend when they need a babysitter. I am willing to experience more hands on opportunities with you and your family. I believe that my passion for working with children of all ages will get me the experience I need to run a successful business. Please feel free to contact me. Excited to work with you.

“We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Annette as our daughter’s nanny. She joined our family when our daughter was just 5 months old and has been with us through so many important stages of her growth and development. Now, at 2 years old, our daughter absolutely adores Annette, and she has truly become like a member of our family. Annette is incredibly warm, nurturing, patient, and attentive. She knows our daughter so well that she can often sense when something is off before we even realize it. She is wonderful about communicating with me throughout the day and always keeps me informed about meals, naps, activities, and anything else I should know. She has also played an important role in helping us establish a consistent routine. She prepares our daughter’s breakfast and lunch, does puzzles and other activities with her, and is wonderful at getting her settled for her afternoon naps. On days when our daughter isn’t feeling her best, Annette is especially patient and comforting, which has always given us tremendous peace of mind. Her flexibility has also been invaluable to our family. Annette is extremely accommodating when our schedule changes and has even traveled with us. During one of my week-long business training trips, she came along and cared for our daughter at the hotel while I attended training each day. Knowing our daughter was with someone she loved and trusted made the entire experience so much easier. Annette also frequently brings homemade meals and snacks, which is such a thoughtful reflection of the care she puts into everything she does. Our decision to transition our daughter to daycare is simply the next step for our family as she gets older, and saying goodbye to having Annette with us every day is truly bittersweet. She has been part of our daughter’s life since she was a baby, and we will always be grateful for the love and care she has given her. We wholeheartedly recommend Annette to any family looking for a dependable, loving, attentive, flexible, and genuinely caring nanny. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.”
Hi! My name is Nina, and I’m a responsible and caring babysitter with a 90-hour childcare certification and hands-on experience from my stepmom’s in-home daycare and working at my high school’s preschool. As a pre-nursing student, I’m passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. I love engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, as well as helping with homework, bedtime routines, and light meal prep. My goal is to make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable and happy while I’m around. I’d love to help out! Feel free to reach out with any questions.
“She was on time. My child really connected with her and was sad to see her go.”

"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!"
