Natalia Elkridge
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalia. I’m Colombian, 30 years old, and currently live in the Elkridge, Maryland area. I am looking for a full-time nanny position with a family that can offer some flexibility with my school schedule. I have several years of professional childcare experience with children ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I was an au pair in Syracuse, New York, from November 2019 to August 2022, where I cared for two little girls, including the oldest from the time she was just 4 months old. After moving to Maryland, I worked as a full-time nanny from March 2023 to March 2024, caring for a little girl who was also 4 months old when I started. I transitioned from full-time childcare to pursue my legal career in the United States. I currently work as a Paralegal and am pursuing my LL.M. part-time at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. Although I enjoy working in the legal field, I truly miss working with children and would love to find the right family to work with full-time while completing my graduate studies. I am available full-time Monday through Friday, with the exception of Thursday 11am to 1pm due to an in-person class. I am happy to discuss a schedule that works well for both the family and my academic commitment. I consider myself responsible, caring, outgoing, and active. I genuinely enjoy playing with children, planning age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and supporting their development. I am also a native Spanish speaker and would be happy to speak Spanish with your children if your family is interested in bilingual exposure. I have extensive infant and toddler experience, and the safety, happiness, and well-being of the children in my care are always my priority. I am primarily looking for a family in Elkridge, Maryland, or the surrounding areas, and I would love to find a position with a family that values communication, reliability, and a positive relationship with their nanny. Please feel free to reach out if you think we might be a good fit. I would love to hear more about your family and your childcare needs! Natalia P.

Hi- my name is Annette and I”m currently semi retired . I am offering child care in your home, senior care and household services. I love being a babysitter I have lots of experience and six children of my own that are grown and have their families in upstate New York. I have babysat lots of children and I love taking care of them as my own . I have taking care of my grand parents and I feel comfortable with senior care and their needs. I have cleaned homes and I am a type of individual that checks everything to be spotless and organized . If anyone needs me also on Saturday or Sunday I am able to help you . My rate is $35 an hour on the weekends . Thank you 😊

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Annette as our daughter’s nanny. She joined our family when our daughter was just 5 months old and has been with us through so many important stages of her growth and development. Now, at 2 years old, our daughter absolutely adores Annette, and she has truly become like a member of our family. Annette is incredibly warm, nurturing, patient, and attentive. She knows our daughter so well that she can often sense when something is off before we even realize it. She is wonderful about communicating with me throughout the day and always keeps me informed about meals, naps, activities, and anything else I should know. She has also played an important role in helping us establish a consistent routine. She prepares our daughter’s breakfast and lunch, does puzzles and other activities with her, and is wonderful at getting her settled for her afternoon naps. On days when our daughter isn’t feeling her best, Annette is especially patient and comforting, which has always given us tremendous peace of mind. Her flexibility has also been invaluable to our family. Annette is extremely accommodating when our schedule changes and has even traveled with us. During one of my week-long business training trips, she came along and cared for our daughter at the hotel while I attended training each day. Knowing our daughter was with someone she loved and trusted made the entire experience so much easier. Annette also frequently brings homemade meals and snacks, which is such a thoughtful reflection of the care she puts into everything she does. Our decision to transition our daughter to daycare is simply the next step for our family as she gets older, and saying goodbye to having Annette with us every day is truly bittersweet. She has been part of our daughter’s life since she was a baby, and we will always be grateful for the love and care she has given her. We wholeheartedly recommend Annette to any family looking for a dependable, loving, attentive, flexible, and genuinely caring nanny. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
