Find an emergency babysitter in Riverdale, MD

I’m a mother of two teenage boys and a graduate student with a background in history, which has helped me develop strong organizational skills and a calm, patient approach to caregiving. I also have experience working as a nanny, where I cared for both a toddler and a six-month-old baby who truly thrived under my care. I enjoy creating a warm and engaging environment for children, with plenty of hands-on activities, reading time, simple learning games, and outdoor play. I’m committed to making sure kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. With a mix of real parenting experience and professional childcare work, I bring reliability, kindness, and a genuine care for children.

As a former educator who has worked with children ages 8 to 14 (and younger!), I bring a caring and professional touch to every family I work with. My teaching background means I genuinely understand how kids grow and learn, I know how to keep them engaged and having fun, and I stay calm and patient no matter what the day brings. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which I love because it lets me connect with even more children and families in a meaningful way. I'm also a total animal lover! I have a cat at home and have happily looked after friends' pets many times, including some with special medical needs, so families with fur babies are very welcome. On top of childcare, I'm happy to help keep the household running smoothly too. Whether it's cooking a meal, tidying up, or getting things organized, I take real pride in leaving a home feeling a little better than I found it. I know how much it means to a busy family to have that extra support. Whether you need someone occasionally or a dependable go-to sitter you can count on regularly, I'd love to be that person for your family. Working with young, growing humans truly brings me joy and more than anything, I just love being a helping hand.
