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.

Childcare: Experienced in toddler - teen care. I have taken care of new borns and children of varying ages for relatives. Experienced in first aid and child tutoring for any subject (I am a teacher). I can help with homework and can introduce the child to activities such as art and crafts if requested (I can send painting and knitting samples). Available to take kids to after school activities and others. House services: I can do deep clean, clearing up, room cleans and whole house cleans. Activities include organization, dishes, laundry (with instructions) and others as per request.

I’m a caring and dependable mother of three adult children with a long history of working with little ones. Before raising my own family, I spent two years working in a daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. For many years, I also taught children at Sabbath School, which helped me understand how to keep young minds engaged, supported, and feeling safe. I bring a calm, nurturing presence into the home, and I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages. Parents often appreciate my patience, my consistency, and the way I help children feel understood and valued. What I Offer I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to creating a fun yet structured environment that helps your children thrive. I have a good car and a clean driving record, and I’m used to being on the road from my experience with DoorDash—so pickups, drop-offs, and quick errands are no problem if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone to help after school, during evenings, or for occasional support, I’m happy to step in and bring peace of mind to your family’s routine. Why I would be a good fit: • Mother of three grown children • Experience working in a daycare • Many years teaching children during Sabbath School • Safe and reliable transportation • Professional, gentle, and attentive • Comfortable supporting household routines

Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 38 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.

Hi! I’m Amy, and I’ve been babysitting since high school. Working with kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I graduated from the University of Virginia, where I majored in Psychology and Spanish, and some of my favorite courses focused on infant and child development. I currently work for a school district, primarily with elementary school children, and also have experience as a medical assistant, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for others. I plan on returning to graduate school and am particularly interested in occupational therapy, as I’m passionate about helping children grow and thrive. Having a younger sister with a disability taught me patience, empathy, and how to connect with children of all abilities. I’m COVID vaccinated and comfortable helping with household tasks, meals, homework, and pets, and I’m very hands-on and attentive with kids. I’m available most evenings and weekends and enjoy building meaningful, lasting connections with children and their families.
