I work full time in finance at an investment bank. I have a ton of experience with kids of almost all ages as I have been babysitting since I was 9. Mostly family and neighborhood kids at first but through high school and college I volunteered with disabled and special needs kids a lot. I also volunteer at my mom's pre-school every now and then when they have events. I’m also available regarding tutoring in math.

Booked by 1 family in Hanover, MD

Hi! My name is Talia, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, along with my CDA Pre-K Certification, Infant and Toddler Certification, and many other certifications related to childcare and development. I have hands-on experience as a nanny, homeschool support, and have also worked as both an infant teacher and a Pre-K teacher. Working with children truly brings me so much joy, it’s such a beautiful experience being part of their growth, imagination, and everyday little moments. I’m very fun, patient, and bubbly, and I love creating engaging days filled with play, learning, creativity, and lots of positive energy. I enjoy building genuine connections with families and children ensuring that they feel happy, safe, and excited throughout our time together. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal prepping to help support your home and daily routine. I’m currently open to short-term and occasional care and would love to bring that same warmth and energy to your family!

Hi there! I’m Micah. I recently moved to the area after getting married, and while I’m a writer by trade, caring for kids has always been something I truly love. Over the past four years, I’ve gained experience as both a babysitter and nanny, working with children of all ages—from energetic school-aged kids to some of the world’s sweetest infants and toddlers. I’m happy to help with cooking (and I’m a pretty great baker!), homework support, and light household tasks to keep things running smoothly. With a background in theatre and the arts, I bring lots of creative energy and love engaging kids in imaginative, age-appropriate play. I’m also pet-friendly (I grew up with two dogs), have my own car, and hold a Maryland driver’s license. My childcare experience includes overnight stays with infants, serving in my church’s pastoral childcare ministry, and regularly caring for groups of up to four children at once. Families often describe me as encouraging and joyful—I hope that during the time I spend with your little ones, I can plant a small seed of fun, comfort, and creativity that brightens their day.
