Booked by 1 family in Towson, MD

I am a nurse practitioner (current practice owner) who never had children of my own and have always wanted them. I have medical experience beginning at Children’s Hospital in DC on their behavioural psychiatry unit, my nursing internship was a Cambridge hospital on the pediatric behaviour program. After becoming an NP in 2005, I spent several summers as a camp nurse at the Barrie School in Silver Spring, MD. I have also worked with their 4 year olds for aftercare and substituted in the baby room when needed. My other experience includes being the lead NP at JHH on their Meyer 6 unit for 4 years and some time in the Anesthesia department. Working with children has been my most fulfilling work. My extensive care of children in various situations should make any parent feel confident in choosing me as a caregiver.

Very professional, punctual, thoughtful, great communication. Will hire again!

Morgan Baltimore
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Morgan! I'm 24 years old and just graduated from nursing school. I'll be studying this summer to take the licensure exam but I'm hoping to babysit while I do so. I come from a big family of seven and have always enjoyed being around kids. I worked in a child care center and a sitter in high school, and also volunteered for a year at Dell Children's Medical Center. I have babysat for families since I was 16 with their ages ranging from newborns to school-aged. I've decided to get into sitting again because of the flexibility it provides for my schedule, and I'm hoping I can be of service to yours as well.

Hi there! I am a registered nurse with over 5 years of experience, including a strong background in infant care. Before nursing, I spent more than 3 years as a daycare teacher, primarily working with infants ages 8 weeks to 1 year, and frequently assisting in classrooms with children ages 3-5. I was well known in the daycare center for Craft Days with Ms. Sam. I am calm, attentive, and genuinely love supporting children's growth and routines, while always prioritizing safety, comfort and fun!

Charlotte Baltimore
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Charlotte and I would love to be able to lend some help to families in the Baltimore area. I am currently a junior at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, studying political science. I have been babysitting since my early teen years and was a volunteer counselor at Catonsville Presbyterian Church's summer camp for two years. While the majority of my experience is with school age children, I have also worked with toddlers and older infants. I am happy to cook simple meals, do dishes, and pretty much any other chores that might be needed around the house. Aside from that, I’m a fun-loving, attentive, and creative caregiver, always happy to spend time with kids. Looking forward to lending a hand and please don't hesitate to message me with 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!"
