I am a caring, reliable professional with over 15 years of experience working with children and families. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is safe, loved, and well cared for. I have completed extensive training in the early childhood education field, including Medication Administration, Basic Health and Safety, First Aid, CPR/AED, Seizure Training, and Emergency Preparedness. With this knowledge, I am able to care for children confidently and calmly, with safety always at the forefront. I am patient, dependable, and committed to creating a calm, nurturing environment while building trusting, positive relationships with both children and families.

“Lenora has taken care of both my kids for almost five years. They both adore her. She is experienced in early childhood education and is great with kids.”

Hi everyone! I speak English and Spanish. I am a person that I characterize for my punctuality and kindness. I Have been a nanny since I was 17 years old. I love spending time with children, they grow so fast and learn very quickly. I try to help them as much as I can and help them learn new things and that they have confidence in themselves. I enjoy spending time with them. I have my first aid certificate and certificate of training school for the care of children. I like to do many activities with the children at home or outside if the weather permits. I know your children will have a lot of fun and they will learn from me as well as I from them.

Hello, Im Maggie. I’m 25 years old. I have long term experience in childcare and looked after children of all age groups. I’m a Former Youth Development Specialist/Program Facilitator in MCPS for over 3 years. I also worked for the City of Gaithersburg with youth for 2 years. I organized many activities and community events. I worked with many children ranging from Elementary - High school. I am comfortable with big groups since my cohorts ranged from 10-20 students at a time. As a mother of 1, I can understand how hard it can be to find reliable and trustworthy care for your children. Which is why I provide child care on the side to bring ease to as many families as I can. We all need a break or even some help at times. I hope I can bring some light and comfort to your family. Feel free to reach out to me at anytime 😊

"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!"
