Hi! I’m Cate. I’ve been babysitting since 2018, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’ve worked at a summer camp for 4-6 year olds since 2021, and in 2022 I became an Assistant Director there. Spending my summers helping little kids learn, play, and feel confident has been one of my favorite experiences! I’m also a huge animal person! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience with dog sitting and dog walking. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup or giving extra love to a calmer older dog, I’m comfortable with all types. I’m friendly, responsible, and easygoing, and I always try to create a safe, fun, and positive environment — whether I’m caring for kids or pets. I’d love to help your family however I can!

Booked by 2 families in Oxon Hill, MD

Hi! I’m Sofia and im 21 years old. I’m a full-time student at the University of Maryland, College Park (Class of Fall 26'), and I absolutely love working with kids. I offer childcare along with light household help like cleaning, cooking, and tidying up, and I’m also comfortable driving kids to and from school, activities, and appointments when needed. I’ve been caring for children since 2018, working with kids ranging from infants to teens. Over the years, I’ve supervised multiple kids at once, helped with homework, prepared meals, organized fun and age-appropriate activities, and made sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy while their parents are away. I’m also currently a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), where I support children and youth ranging from 1 month to 21 years old. I’ve worked as a Teacher Assistant at a Montessori school, helping plan lessons, support classroom routines, and give extra attention to children who needed it. Additionally, I’ve been a camp counselor, leading groups, running games, and creating a positive and energetic environment for kids to learn and have fun. I’m patient, dependable, and very attentive, and I truly enjoy building warm, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I would love the chance to support your family and be someone your kids feel comfortable and excited to be around. I can’t wait to meet you.

Sofia was wonderful! My kids took to her right away. She was on time and was communicative throughout booking. We will definitely use her again.

Michaela 6 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello families, I’m currently looking for a part-time babysitting position for a few hours in the afternoon, a few days a week. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I’m also a mother of two school-aged children myself, which has deepened my understanding of children’s needs, routines, and development. Here are a few things I bring to the role: • Extensive experience with multiple children and families over the years • CPR/First Aid knowledge (optional – let me know if you’re certified and want to add that) • Safe and reliable transportation – I have a clean driving record and my own car • Flexible, dependable, and punctual • Basic Spanish speaker – comfortable communicating and supporting bilingual children • Organized and proactive – I can help with after-school routines, homework, snack prep, and light tidying • Loving, calm, and attentive approach to every child I care for I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids, while also respecting the routines and values of each family. Please feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a trustworthy and experienced babysitter for your family!

Both our boys,9 and 3, had so much fun with Michaela. She played games with them, puzzles, read books, took them outside for a walk and prepared food for them. She communicated great with us the entire time - she also sent us several pictures of our boys playing together to keep us updated. She’s very engaging, communicative and friendly. Our boys absolutely love her (they were super excited to play with her again). We felt she became a very important part of our family. We miss her!

"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!"
