$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!

I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.

I am an experienced early childhood educator and caregiver with over 7 years of experience working with children ages 16 months to 6 years in both school settings and private homes. My background includes roles as a preschool and pre-kindergarten teacher, private preschool educator and nanny, and lead teacher at a nature school. My approach to childcare is holistic, nurturing, and developmentally focused. I love creating environments where children feel safe, curious, and excited to explore. I design activities that support social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and intellectual growth, including early learning skills, arts and crafts, music, storytelling, imaginative play, and hands-on experiences. I enjoy helping children develop independence, problem-solving skills, and confidence while encouraging creativity and curiosity every day. I am passionate about incorporating mindfulness, movement, and time outdoors. I have led yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation practices to build body awareness, focus, and confidence. Nature exploration is also central to my teaching, encouraging curiosity, compassion, and respect for the world around us. As a nanny and private preschool teacher, I’ve provided personalized learning at home, supporting daily routines while creating playful learning opportunities through art, puzzles, imaginative play, cooking, and life skills. I also founded a summer program called Synergy Adventure Days, guiding children on nature-based learning adventures to explore ecosystems, wildlife, and the beauty of natural parks. I love animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and birds. I am organized, reliable, and happy to help with household tasks, errands, and preparing meals or snacks for children and families. I have a naturally playful and childlike spirit, which helps me connect easily with children. I love being imaginative and fully present in their world; whether building forts, exploring outside, creating art, or diving into storytelling and games. Kids connect with me quickly, and I genuinely love the energy and wonder they bring. I strive to make every day fun, engaging, and full of learning, so children feel confident, joyful, and inspired. Families describe me as warm, nurturing, present, calm, and deeply attentive, with a joyful, engaging energy. My goal as a caregiver is to create a safe, loving, and inspiring environment where children feel supported, confident, and curious to explore and learn.
