Booked by 1 family in Jefferson, MD

Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.

Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.

I love kids of all ages & have a lot of patience. I’ve been a nanny, babysitter, & gymnastics teacher. I’m currently in nursing school specifically wanting to be a pediatric nurse. I have a flexible schedule, drive my own car, CPR certified, & overall know how to bring a smile to a kid.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kayeann and I have been working as a nanny for 41 years and I love what I am doing. Children are a blessing to work with in my eyes, I adore working with newborns through five years old because that is the most important years of their lives. During the first five years children are a sponge and learn so much. Children over all are just a pleasure to work with. I love working with the future of the world and inspiring them to be the best they can be.

Hi! My name is Abby, and I am a caring, dependable, and hardworking caregiver who loves helping people of all ages. I have taught swim lessons for 4 years, am CPR and Red Cross certified, and hold my ParaPro certification. I absolutely love working with children and enjoy doing crafts, playing games, swimming, helping with homework, and keeping kids active and engaged. I have also grown up with animals my entire life and am comfortable caring for pets of every breed, size, and age. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing extra attention and care, I’m happy to help. I also enjoy spending time with seniors and providing companionship and assistance. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and caring environment for every child, pet, and family I work with.
