Booked by 1 family in Silver Spring, MD

Hi! My name is Srinidhi and I recently graduated from Vanderbilt with my master's in Mental Health Counseling. I've worked with kids ages 3-15 in all arenas from daycare to tutoring and summer camps. I have 1 year of private babysitting experience (plus 7 years of auntie babysitting experience!) and am excited to provide a safe environment for your kiddo(s)! My experience as a mental health professional and as a babysitter allow me to make sure kiddos are having fun, staying safe, and successfully getting through everything from meal times to brushing their teeth. I also have 5 years of experience as a private tutor and am happy to help your student with any homework difficulties they may be facing. Thanks for reading all the way through, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Laila 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I am 24 years old. I am excellent with kids. I have been working with kids for 10+ years. I started working with kids as a volunteer at a private school in Rockville when I was a teenager. And since then I’ve really enjoyed working with kids. I love music, food, video games, road trips, traveling, etc. I love to collect stuffed animals & I love to cook. I’ve recently taken up tennis as a hobby.

I worked with Laila in an after-school program, and she was always reliable, caring, and great with the kids. She was patient, professional, and did a great job keeping the children engaged while making sure they were safe and following their routines. She worked well with both the kids and the staff, and you could tell she genuinely cared about the children she was working with. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and dependable babysitter.

Mya-Yasmeen $30 per hour for 1 child

With a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion and over five years of experience working with children, I bring a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to every family I work with. As a nanny and pervious elementary school teacher, I developed a passion for guiding and educating young minds. My bubbly and friendly personality allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, creating a positive and nurturing environment for everyone. I am committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in my care. My background in health promotion means I have a deep understanding of child development and the importance of fostering healthy habits. I also have experience in tutoring, making me an ideal choice for families seeking educational support. Additionally, I am skilled in providing senior care, pet care, and special needs support, ensuring that I can meet the diverse needs of any household. If you're looking for a nanny who is dedicated, reliable, and has a genuine love for working with children, I would be thrilled to join your family and provide the compassionate care you deserve.
