Booked by 1 family in Mount Rainier, MD

Hello! My name is Erin and I currently work in tech. I'm offering child care and open to additionally supporting household services. I am in my early thirties and have nearly twenty years of experience with childcare, from infant through pre-teen ages. I've cared for 1-4 children at a time. Though I don't have kids of my own, it has been the biggest pleasure of my life to watch my two young nieces grow up (3 yo and 1 yo), which is a main reason I'm looking to incorporate childcare into my regular schedules. In addition to playing with and looking after the kids, I have experience in preparing food and meals, helping with household chores like laundry and dishes, and assisting with homework. I have my own car and am comfortable driving kids to/from activities. I'm open to one-off childcare opportunities, but would also love the chance to make a good relationship with a family and become a regular sitter! I'm happy to phone or video call any interested families so that we can get to know one another beforehand!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Parents, I'm a recent James Madison University graduate and moved to the Mount Pleasant area a few months ago. I currently work from home and am looking to take on some more part-time babysitting work. I'm available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 5 PM, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I babysit two kids who attend Rosemont and Bancroft, so I'm already familiar with the area's local schools and daycare centers! I have previous babysitting experience, a valid driver's license, and a clean driving record. I'm open to both one-time and recurring opportunities. Feel free to message me if you're looking for some extra help — I'd love to connect!

We had a great experience with her as our babysitter. She was reliable, always on time, and helped with school pick-ups and drop-offs, which made our routine much easier. She also assisted with meal prep and kept our daughter on a consistent bedtime routine. Our daughter was always happy and comfortable with her. She was easy to communicate with and very dependable. We’d definitely recommend her to any family looking for someone caring and responsible.

"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!"
