Hi - my name is Phoenix and I’m a current Junior at UMBC studying biology. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been sitting since 14 years old. I currently volunteer at MWPH in the school age division, so I’m comfortable looking after children who may need extra attention. I have access to a car and tutoring experience. I work as a house/pet sitter as well and have experience with both cats (newborn to adult), and dogs (over one year). I also work as a household assistant and can run errands and clean.
Hi - I’m Riley and am currently working as a Network Engineer. I have degrees in psychology and computer networking. I love being a caregiver and did so full time before and during school. Most of my experience is caring for toddlers and children with special needs. My responsibilities have included cooking dinners, light cleaning, driving to doctor’s appointments and other activities. Previously worked in a pediatric inpatient hospital unit as direct care staff and supervisor before moving to IT. Pet sitting experience with giving medication and inhalers. Comfortable with both cats and dogs.
Hello Families, My name is Zarida. I am a 19 year old woman who strives to make a positive impact on people’s lives. I have a high school diploma, drivers license, and a CPR & First Aid certification. I am always in the mood to learn something new! Please keep in mind that I am a full time college student so my availability is very limited.
I have been caring for children just about my whole life. As a Nanny, mother or grandmother. My nanny-style, think Jo Frost, but with a grandmothers heart.
I am a 64yo female who has been providing care for other people of all ages since 1975, as well as for pets of all sorts. I currently work full-time in the mental health field. I have college degrees in social work and mental health. Having had 17 years of experience in the field of developmental disabilities, I can provide experienced in-home respite so family caregivers of special needs adults can take a breather knowing their loved ones are cared for with dignity and respect. Having had many years of experience in the mental health field including crisis management, I can provide support and monitoring to vulnerable adults who have to remain at home while you are away. Having spent 5 years in childcare plus 11 years supervising children in recreational activity, I can provide care and supervision of children which keeps them safe and occuppied. Having had a lifetime of experience caring for pets and decades taking care of aquariums, I can also provide you with care for them. I have CPR and first aid training.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
