Find an emergency babysitter in Lanham, MD

I am a postgraduate adult with over six years of professional experience as a babysitter, complemented by more than fifteen years of hands-on caregiving as an older sister to my younger sibling. From an early age, I developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness, which has naturally carried into my work with children. My experience spans supporting children’s daily routines, fostering a safe and nurturing environment, and engaging them in age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. I am passionate about spending time with children and supporting their growth in a positive, caring way. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and traveling, interests that help me stay active, curious, and adaptable—qualities I bring into my caregiving approach. I value meaningful connections, clear communication, and creating experiences where children feel supported, understood, and encouraged to explore the world around them.

I’m a thoughtful, empathetic person with a deep appreciation for nurturing and care. Outside of my professional career, I’ve always had a natural fondness for children and families. I believe that caring for someone’s home or loved ones isn’t just a “job”; it’s a responsibility rooted in respect, trust, and understanding.

Every summer in high school I was a camp counselor for roughly six weeks, working with ages 4-10. I also frequently babysat during high school, usually ages 7-10. I am currently on my fourth season as a Girls on the Run coach for ages 8-10. I really enjoy spending time kids. I have always had a dog and typically take care of my dog when my parents are away. I am a responsible person and understand the effort required to take care of people (fur people include) and genuinely enjoy doing that!

My name is Sofia and I am a third year Urban Elementary Education major at Howard University. I absolutely love children and am super grateful to be studying and maturing my work full time at Howard. Back home in Connecticut, I have worked summers at an urban childcare facility for 6 years caring for infants-5th grade. I also supplemented my high school career with babysitting, working after-schools at the local YMCA, and assisting special-needs students. I love working with all children, but am gifted working with seniors, special-needs adults, and most animals as well.

Hello! My name is Imee. I'm caring, patient, and reliable person who truly enjoys being around children. I come from a very family-oriented background and have experience caring for kids through family care, including my nieces and nephews. I'm happy to offer childcare and household services, and i enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly. I can assist with light household tasks such as tidying up, laundry, organizing, and simple meal preparation, in addition to caring for your child. When caring for children, I love engaging them in creative and calm activities such as painting, drawing, simple arts and gentle play. I believe these activities help children feel relaxed, happy and supported. I'm currently looking for a part-time, weekday-only position (no weekends) and would love the opportunity support your family for a few hours a day.
