Booked by 20 families in Greenbelt, MD

I am dedicated and dependable with 10years experience as a baby sitter. Am flexible and adaptable with extensive knowledge of childcare and development. Am devoted to helping children in what they have a passion for. I love to help out in school work, light meal preparation and generally take care of the kids. Am fun, responsible and loving and at the same time know how to set boundaries and maintain decorum in the home at all times. However and unfortunately, I am not animal friendly

She was wonderful. We came back to kids sleeping peacefully and a living room cleaned up from all toys and dinner. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Hello! My name is Natalie. I started babysitting when I was in middle school and volunteered in my church to watch children. In high school, I took child growth and development courses and volunteered in schools. I worked at daycares, home childcare, and a private school. I have worked with ages from newborn to 12 years of age. I am CPR certified, CDA certified, college courses and additional training in breastfeeding, ADA, etc. . I’m currently pursuing my degree and my dream is to start a nonprofit organization that will help families and children across the world and open a postpartum center for women in need. I am currently an early childhood educator and I enjoy working with all ages. I love to read and write durning my free time. I also like to try new foods and go to new places. I am a mother to a joyful 4 year old and love to take him on adventures. My passion is teaching children and watching them grow and they inspire me everyday.

Natalie was great. Punctual and friendly. She had good communication with my son and no issues while I was away. Much appreciated.

Julie Glenn Dale
$22 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring and dependable mother of three adult children with a long history of working with little ones. Before raising my own family, I spent two years working in a daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. For many years, I also taught children at Sabbath School, which helped me understand how to keep young minds engaged, supported, and feeling safe. I bring a calm, nurturing presence into the home, and I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages. Parents often appreciate my patience, my consistency, and the way I help children feel understood and valued. What I Offer I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to creating a fun yet structured environment that helps your children thrive. I have a good car and a clean driving record, and I’m used to being on the road from my experience with DoorDash—so pickups, drop-offs, and quick errands are no problem if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone to help after school, during evenings, or for occasional support, I’m happy to step in and bring peace of mind to your family’s routine. Why I would be a good fit: • Mother of three grown children • Experience working in a daycare • Many years teaching children during Sabbath School • Safe and reliable transportation • Professional, gentle, and attentive • Comfortable supporting household routines

$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Amirah, and I'm currently a business honors student at the University of Maryland. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with children and have experience through family and friends. However, I recently graduated from a teacher prep program at the Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC (dual-enrollment high school), graduating with an associate's degree in teacher preparation. While studying there, I acquired more than 30 hours of observation and hands-on experience in real-world classrooms. I also have experience working with animals, as I have lived with both a dog and two cats before and am used to household chores such as light cleaning (dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and running errands.

Booked by 3 families in Greenbelt, MD

Hi! My name is Reyna. I am a paralegal by profession, which has helped me develop strong organizational skills, attention to detail, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility. I am also fluent in both English and Spanish. My experience with childcare began through being an older sister and helping care for my younger siblings/children of friends and family over several years. This experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I am very active and enjoy hands on activities and being outdoors. I do work full time during the day so my availability is mostly evenings and weekends.

Punctual, warm and professional. Great with our kids!
