Booked by 1 family in Rockville, MD

I'm a warm, dependable caregiver with 20+ years of experience from infants through adolescents, and a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health. I'm also CPR certified for children and adults through the American Red Cross, recently renewed. I believe great childcare starts with getting to know each child and respecting the way each family does things. I like to learn your routines and expectations so I can provide care that feels comfortable and consistent. During our time together, I keep things safe, calm, and fun-whether that means helping with homework, playing a game, getting outside, preparing a meal, or settling into bedtime. I've also worked as a teacher, tutor, and mentor, and I love helping children feel confident, curious, and capable. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to meet kids where they are, and I want parents to feel confident that their children are in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

“Sara has been watching our kids regularly since they were babies, and they still light up whenever they hear she's "coming over to play." She's incredibly reliable and always arrives early. She stays in close touch throughout each visit, sending updates and pictures of whatever fun they're having together, and she's always respectful of our kids' routines, asking thoughtful questions about our expectations for the day. Bedtime is where she has impressed us, she's masterfully guided our kids through bath time, stories, and getting settled for the night, calmly and consistently. Whenever we're in a logistical crunch and I'm stressed about how to make it all work, Sara is the first person I think to call. She's been steady and dependable for our family for years, and she's genuinely a joy to have around and one of the most thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable people I know. We'll keep booking with Sara, and I recommend her to any family looking for a sitter they can truly rely on.”

Impacting children positively is what I love to do. With five years of experience caring for children aged 0-12+, I bring a calm and patient, yet energetic and fun, approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to help children thrive. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. l provide regular updates to parents via text or phone call, and I always give a breakdown of the day at pickup. I have a car, l'm comfortable with pets, and I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. Watching children learn and grow brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your child's development.

Adreana $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Adreana and I a junior at Trinity University DC. I am currently looking for a flexible job that allows me to do what I love while also going to school! I am providing babysitting services as well as private education/tutoring. I have been doing both for about 4 years now and absolutely love it! I am currently a preschool teacher so I’m comfortable with working with more than one child and having a set schedule! I also don’t mind doing light cleaning and helping out in any way I can! During my time I will have set activities for the children, good habits never die and I love just having crafts and fun that work and mold the mind!

"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!"
