I am a senior in high school with a strong passion for working with children. I have taken a Child Development class for two years, where I have learned a lot about child growth and care. Through this class and other experiences, I have worked with children as young as three years old up to almost five-year-olds. I truly enjoy engaging with kids. I love playing with them, talking to them, and creating fun. In addition, I am actively involved at my church every Sunday, where I work with children aged 5 to 10. I help supervise activities, play with them, and encourage positive interaction. I also have experience caring for animals. I have three dogs that I have cared for over the past four years, and I also offer dog-walking services. This experience has taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness qualities I bring to all childcare responsibilities. Overall, my experience with children and animals has given me the skills to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for any child.
Hiiiii!! This is Karen, former au pair and currently nanny with over 10 years of experience, 7+ in Argentina and more than 3 in the U. S. And CPR trained. I've cared for kids of all ages, from babies to teenagers, and I love supporting their growth through fun activities, routines, and patience. As a reference, I've been taking care of my youngest host kid since he was 7 months old and he's 4 years old now! :) I'm also a college student nowadays, and I'm looking for an extra job this time since I'll be available from 9am to 3pm approximately on weekdays. I'm responsible, empathetic, and always give my full heart when caring for children. I also enjoy cooking simple meals, helping around the house, and creating a safe, happy space. Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you think it could work! I would be more than happy to help! Thank you!!
Hi, my name is Aicha. I’m 21 years old and I just graduated from Montgomery College. I fluently speak French and English. I love babysitting because I enjoy making kids smile and keeping them happy. I've been a babysitter for a few years now and I absolutely love it. I'm patient, creative, and always make sure kids are safe and having fun. I can't wait to meet your family and help out.
I have worked at an elementary school taking care of 25 kids. Being creative and finding activities for kids to do is very important. Painting, drawing, any games that they like. It’s also very important to lead Children to make sure rules are followed so they are safe at all times. Through getting to know them and being a good listener, over time they will feel more comfortable.
I’m a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver with a Chinese background, bringing respect, warmth, and family values to my care. Experienced with children of all ages, I create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment that helps them learn and grow.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
