As a babysitter I strive to make every time I visit as fun as possible. I am a babysitter who loves to engage in fun activities with the children whether that be in the home or exploring fun places in your local neighborhood. In my past babysitting jobs, I have implemented learning into my time with the children whether it is through workbooks, reading, art projects, science experiments or visiting places in the area anything to support your family and your child’s unique interests. As a previous tutor, I am happy to support with reading, math and support any learning!

Hi, I’m Janelle! I’m looking for occasional babysitting hours on weekday evenings or weekends.

Hi! I’m Cate. I’ve been babysitting since 2018, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’ve worked at a summer camp for 4-6 year olds since 2021, and in 2022 I became an Assistant Director there. Spending my summers helping little kids learn, play, and feel confident has been one of my favorite experiences! I’m also a huge animal person! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience with dog sitting and dog walking. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup or giving extra love to a calmer older dog, I’m comfortable with all types. I’m friendly, responsible, and easygoing, and I always try to create a safe, fun, and positive environment — whether I’m caring for kids or pets. I’d love to help your family however I can!

Hi! I’m Sofia and im 21 years old. I’m a full-time student at the University of Maryland, College Park (Class of Fall 26'), and I absolutely love working with kids. I offer childcare along with light household help like cleaning, cooking, and tidying up, and I’m also comfortable driving kids to and from school, activities, and appointments when needed. I’ve been caring for children since 2018, working with kids ranging from infants to teens. Over the years, I’ve supervised multiple kids at once, helped with homework, prepared meals, organized fun and age-appropriate activities, and made sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy while their parents are away. I’m also currently a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), where I support children and youth ranging from 1 month to 21 years old. I’ve worked as a Teacher Assistant at a Montessori school, helping plan lessons, support classroom routines, and give extra attention to children who needed it. Additionally, I’ve been a camp counselor, leading groups, running games, and creating a positive and energetic environment for kids to learn and have fun. I’m patient, dependable, and very attentive, and I truly enjoy building warm, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I would love the chance to support your family and be someone your kids feel comfortable and excited to be around. I can’t wait to meet you.

"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!"
