Find an emergency babysitter in Lanham, MD

Hi! I'm originally from Atlanta and have been living in DC for the past two years while attending law school. Before moving here, I was a full-time nanny for three years, caring for two wonderful kids between the ages of 3 and 6. I also have experience babysitting children of all ages, from infants to teens. I love spending time reading, crafting, and doing puzzles with kids—and I'm always happy to help with furry family members too! I have a great eye for organization and enjoy tidying up as I go. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!

Hello, my name is Julia and I currently work as a Substitute Teacher and Pet/Housesitter in the DMV. I am looking to expand my client base and serve more families in the area. I am offering pet care, child care, senior care, and household services. I have a masters degree in Childhood Education and have worked as a Substitute Teacher for more than 8 years, in three different states (NYC, WA, MD). I have another masters degree in Recreation Education & Therapy and have worked in therapeutic and commercial recreation for many years, including at summer camps and even for Disney Cruise Line. I have done babysitting ever since I was a teenager, and have experimented with my own business in children’s birthday parties and creativity workshops. I am also so happy to have expanded into pet care in recent years, because I absolutely love dogs and cats. I’ve been a member of Trusted Housesitters for years, and have worked for a pet/home concierge company in the DMV for a year. Housekeeping/homemaking is also my passion. I like to keep a home tidy, and I enjoy doing errands, shopping for groceries, and cooking Italian food (especially pizza). I am also interested in providing companion care with seniors, as I love hearing elders’ stories and wisdom, and providing them with good company. I used to host recreational programs with seniors at assisted living centers, including improv comedy, creative writing and discussion groups. Overall, I love serving families directly, whether it be with their pets, children or seniors, and the home itself. I’m kind of like a substitute family member for hire!

My name is Yanae. I’m 26 years old and currently work as a preschool teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, where I’ve grown into roles such as mentor, staff leader, and Lead Teacher. I’m passionate about working with children and supporting the development of both students and fellow educators. I have my degree in psychology and I am CPR certified. I also have experience working with a variety of age groups, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. When I babysit, I focus on providing more one-on-one attention, engaging children in different activities and creating meaningful interactions throughout the time we spend together. In my free time, I enjoy nature walks and reading.

Hello , my name is Bella. I am a responsible college student with hands-on experience caring for young children.
