Find an emergency babysitter in Friendship, MD

Hi! My name is Nana, and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman at Bowie State University majoring in Nursing. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I have three younger siblings, and I've been helping raise and babysit them since they were born. Being responsible for them taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for children of different ages. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in nursing and made me realize how much I enjoy helping families. I'm experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I'm also happy to prepare simple meals, help with bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping play areas clean and organized. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I understand the importance of creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I'm excited to help families by providing reliable childcare while building meaningful relationships with both parents and their children.

Hello! I'm delighted to share more about my background and why I am dedicated to providing excellent care for your family. My experience spans various age groups and needs, built on a foundation of professional involvement and personal responsibility. • Toddler Care: I am actively involved in my church’s family ministry, where I regularly watch and engage with toddlers during service. This hands-on, group setting has sharpened my skills in managing routines, addressing immediate needs, and facilitating positive, safe play. • Individual Babysitting: I have also built experience by caring for the children of my friends, which has given me insight into respecting individual family routines and providing customized care in a home environment. I'm comfortable with various age ranges, from infants to school-aged children. • Pets: I am a loving pet owner myself and am comfortable caring for dogs (walking, feeding) ensuring their needs and routines are met.

Hi, my name is Ebony! I am offering care for both children and pets. I'm a Native Washingtonian with much experience in childcare. Over the course of 19 years on and off, I have provided care for several families via an agency, and independently for a non-profit organization, events, friends, and family (as the cool auntie). I ran an afterschool program at a local high school during my AmeriCorps term, providing my students a safe environment for enrichment and growth. My late father worked as a teacher's aide at a DC middle school and would take me to work with him. Helping his students was a complex job and I was trusted with it! Having the chance to help children with special needs as a teen taught me how quality care could help a child thrive. That experienced sparked my interest in childcare. Children of all ages deserve safety and attentive care. I bring a positive attitude, creativity, kindness, nurturing, and patience to care I give others. My talents include making still-life drawings with oil pastels. Also, I love animals and have enjoyed pet sitting for friends here and there. Though I am allergic to cats, I adore them and will have my own Zyrtec ready to go for those biscuits. I am open to walking and playing with your animals, no matter the size. I spend my days working full time, volunteering, getting lost in a book, and studying.

Hi, I'm Naomi! I recently graduated from Lafayette College and have moved back home for my gap year while I prepare for graduate school. I have 7 years of professional experience working with children and would love the chance to support your family. As the oldest sibling in my family, caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I first discovered my love for childcare while helping care for my two younger sisters, who are my world. Over the years, I've continued babysitting and tutoring children of different ages, from toddlers to elementary schoolers, in both home and school settings. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids -- whether that’s helping with homework, doing crafts, going to the park, playing games, or simply creating a safe and fun environment for them. I also have a car and am happy to help with transportation, appointments, pick-ups/drop-offs, errands, or activities if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover! I have five dogs myself and have experience pet sitting and cat sitting for friends, so I’d be more than happy to help care for pets as well. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see if I’d be a good fit for your needs!
