I have many years of nanny/babysitting experience. I enjoy working with children of all ages and helping them learn and improve their knowledge, skills, and self-esteem. I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from UMD but decided to make a career change a few years ago to contribute to something that I am passionate about.

“Rose was an excellent babysitter and completely put me at ease so that I could attend an urgent evening work meeting. She was in communication with me via text before and during the job. She kept my 8 year old son engaged and having a wonderful time making paper monsters from a book that Rose brought with her. She made dinner for my son and his friend and cleaned and tidied areas of the apartment. She also helped organize areas of my apartment and set up my TV, DVD player, and computer monitor, all of which was a huge help. I highly recommend Rose!”

Hello! My name is Chloé, and I am a college engineering student with several years of professional childcare, tutoring, and after-school teaching experience. My experience ranges from infants through school-age children and includes recurring infant care, after-school care, transportation, homework support, meals, and bedtime routines. As a STEM-focused college student, I’m also comfortable providing homework support. From March 2024 to October 2025, I worked as an after-school teacher at Lafayette Elementary with students from pre-K through fifth grade. I also provided French and math support as an after-school tutor at Maryvale Elementary. My private-family background includes recurring and occasional care for infants through school-age children, as well as full-time infant care, school pickups, transportation, multi-child care, overnight and extended care, and supporting children with ADHD and autism. Most recently, I provided temporary full-time care for a young infant, including bottles and burping, diaper changes, soothing and naps, tummy time, teething support, and age-appropriate play. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I’m calm, communicative, attentive, and comfortable following established routines. I’m also comfortable with child-related meal preparation, dishes, laundry, and tidying, and I have previous live-in childcare experience. I’m currently looking for recurring care on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday starting October 5th. My availability includes mornings and daytime hours, with greater availability on Wednesdays. I do have occasional pre-scheduled Monday and Tuesday afternoon commitments and can provide those dates in advance. I’m also open to occasional evening, weekend, overnight, and extended care when my schedule allows. I look forward to supporting your family!

“Very attentive & keeps in contact throughout the job. ”

Hello parents! My experience spans from babies to teenagers and I have been working with kids as a nanny and babysitter for 8 years. I have a degree in Business Analytics from the University of Maryland and I’m looking for occasional babysitting jobs.

Hello! I am a mother first and foremost, my daughter is now a freshman in college, so I have lots of experience working with children. Years ago, I worked within MCPS in the Pre-School Education Program (provides special education services for ages 3-5). I am currently in school as well, taking online classes but have extra time to explore my passions; education, childcare, health, and nutrition. My daughter has had a severe nut allergy most of her life, so I am used to working with and around allergies. I love the outdoors and hiking, cooking and traveling.

I graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology in 2016. I am very passionate about helping people improve their lives and hope to go back to school for social work or forensic psychology. I have 2 nephews and 1 niece that I watch for my older brother, and they are the light of my life! When I have them for extended periods of time I try to make a set schedule of activities to keep them busy and set meals. I also used to be a YMCA Summer Camp counselor in college work with children in kindergarten and enjoyed every minute of it! I am CPR certified! I like to play piano and I love love love podcasts! I have 1 year puppy named Rosie who I absolutely adore! Please reach out if you have any questions!

"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!"
