Mistura $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a new sophomore in college who has always enjoyed working with children. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent many years helping care for and support my younger brothers and sisters, which has taught me patience, reliability, and strong communication skills. I also was a mentor in high school and a camp counselor. I understand the importance of creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children, and I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their family’s care.

Abigail $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Abigail, and I am a recently moved to Baltimore to start my Masters of Music program at Johns Hopkins University. I am so excited to be in Baltimore to continue my studies, and also get to know a new city! For the past year, I worked as a music teacher at a public elementary school (PreK-5th grade) in North Philadelphia. I love working with and teaching children, and one of the reasons that I want to nanny while in school is so that I can continue building my skills in working with children. I was often a babysitter growing up, but it's been a few years so nannying would be a fresh experience for me! Additionally, I have four years of housekeeping experience from previous employment at a hotel, and also really enjoy baking/cooking, so I would be happy to help with some of these tasks if needed. Before living in Philadelphia, I was in Allentown, PA for my undergraduate degree at Muhlenberg College, where I studied Music, Theatre, and Psychology with an emphasis in child development. Outside of my work and studies, I really enjoy exploring new places, attending performances, and cooking/trying out new recipes. Because of my teaching experiences, I am very open to trying new things, and would be excited to try out different hobbies, games, and other activities with the children I may nanny for.

My name is Kyra! I'm 22 years old and have lived in Maryland my whole life. I have been a full time nanny to children ages 3 months - 15 years for 5 years. I have handled a plethora of special situations including severe allergies, diabetes, G-Tube feedings , physical disabilities as well as ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. Transportation will be a no issue as I own my vehicle and have maintained a clean driving record for close to 6 years. In addition to this I am CPR, first aid and AED resuscitation certified. Over 2 years of overnight nannying experience. I love music, reading and anything colorful so I incorporate that into my work whenever I can ! I'm very comfortable with animals and have been living in a multiple pet household for most of my life which has included cats, dogs and those of the rodent family; I want to ensure all of your "babies" are tended too . Hoping to find a long term commitment at least a year or more. Thank you !
