Booked by 1 family in Rockville, MD

Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.

Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.

Booked by 10 families in Rockville, MD

Hello families! I am Amelia, a CPR and First Aid Certified recent college graduate. I have been working with children for the past decade or so, and have been focusing on working with infants and toddlers for the past 5 years. I am also available for cat sitting (at a much lower rate) if any of you are interested. I focus on forming strong emotional bonds with the kids in my care, based on mutual respect and acknowledgment of every person's inherent worth. In the next couple of years, I am hoping to get my masters in education and pursue a career as a classroom teacher. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and willing to negotiate pricing and expectations based on the personal needs of your family.

I am currently working as a part time care giver and helps take care of my grandchildren ages 2, 7 and 9 on my days off. I used to work as a teacher aide when I first arrived in the US, I decided to leave to help my daughter when she first gave birth, now her kids are older and I am looking for something meaningful to do on my free days.

"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!"
