Kate 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a part-time college student at the University of Maryland in College Park. I have years of experience working with children as well as engaging with them outside of a professional setting. I have 2 young nieces (10 and 8) whom I often babysit, drive to and from activities, and keep busy at home while my brother is working. My prior babysitting experience also includes neighbors, children of friends and family, and other relatives. I grew up a dancer so as soon as I became old enough, I was student teaching classes for pre-schoolers and eventually taught some classes on my own. I have worked individually and in groups with ages 3-16. I can confidently say I know how to best meet the needs of all ages while maintaining a fun and playful environment.

“Kate started babysitting my son Connor when he was roughly 2 (he’s 6 now) and she is his favorite person. Kate was a student of mine at the dance studio from the time she was 7 or 8, and I watched her grow into an extremely responsible, confident, reliable woman for the last 15 years. I highly recommend Kate as a babysitter, and look forward to the times she is visiting her parents so she can watch my son!”

Michelle $20 per hour for 1 child

I am an animal advocate and love them dearly. I am a special education teacher. I have my own animals and bring animals into my classroom and they are wonderful additions to my classroom and my students. I have rescued over 45 bunnies all different breeds and found them loving homes. I have personally fostered kittens, guinea pigs and bottle fed different types of birds. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, love birds, green cheek conures and cockatiels). When I was in high school I worked in an exotic pet store. I will treat your babies as I treat mine with love and care. I treat my animals as if they were my children. If you would like to schedule a meeting please contact me.[removed]. Please ask me any questions. I am also fingers printed. Thank you for reading my bio, Michelle

Hi my name is Charity but I go by Ms Harmony. I have over 20 years of experience working with young children. I was an infant and toddler preschool teacher for 15 years and a professional Super Nanny for 10years. I majored in Early Childhood Education and Child Development and became a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, Peer Breastfeeding Support Counselor and a Professionally Certified Parenting Coach. Caring for young children and supporting parents is my passion and it brings so much joy into my life. I have a very special gift for comforting and connecting with newborns, infants and toddlers. I am very patient and can handle a crying, frustrated or difficult baby with the ability to respond to their needs in an affectionate and nurturing way. Keeping children safe is so important to me that I became a certified instructor through the American Red Cross to use and teach Adult, Child and Infant CPR/AED and First Aid to new parents and caregivers. Please feel free to contact me if you think we would be a good match. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm Regards, Ms Harmony

Rosmy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rosmy, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have experience working with both children on the autism spectrum and neurotypical children, so I’m comfortable adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m patient, responsible, and energetic, and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or keeping a consistent routine, I always make sure children feel cared for and supported. Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and committed to their child’s well-being while making sure they have a great time. I look forward to getting to know your family!

I’m a 20 year old college student looking mainly for weekend work/ part time to help pay for school. I don’t have much paid experience but I have lots of personal experience. When I was younger my mom was a nanny and I was always her little assistant helping out with the kids she looked after ranging from ages 1-8. I also have a niece that I look after every now and then who just turned 4. Lastly throughout the week I work as a pediatric dental assistant so caring for kids comes naturally! If you have pets I have experience on caring for reptiles, cats and dogs. Cpr/ first aid/BLS certified: ✅ Meals and light housekeeping: ✅ Own transportation:✅

"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!"
