Hello There, I trust you and your family are well! You might notice my last review is from 2020, that’s simply because I’ve been fortunate to work long-term with a few wonderful families since then. My relationships often last for years, and many of the families I’ve supported have truly become like family to me. I hold a Master’s of Arts (M.A.) in School Counseling, & M.Ed in Education Policy and Leadership. I have more than fourteen years of private childcare experience ranging from newborn to 15 years of age. I support children's emotional and social development, encouraging understanding of others and positive self-concepts. My goal has always been to provide children with the necessary care. I am dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is fun,stimulating, encouraging, safe and adaptive to each child's individual needs. Should you have any questions, feel free to message me.

A miracle worker. Absolutely amazing. Wish she lived in SF.

Hello! I am a mother first and foremost, my daughter is now a freshman in college, so I have lots of experience working with children. Years ago, I worked within MCPS in the Pre-School Education Program (provides special education services for ages 3-5). I am currently in school as well, taking online classes but have extra time to explore my passions; education, childcare, health, and nutrition. My daughter has had a severe nut allergy most of her life, so I am used to working with and around allergies. I love the outdoors and hiking, cooking and traveling.

Hello! My name is Marianella. I’ve had several years of babysitting and nannying experience working with children of all ages newborn, infant, toddlers, and elementary age. I have two beautiful terrific kids 🥰. In addition, I’m from Colombia - South America so, I would like to share my culture with you. My primary hobbies of nannying include crafts or creative activities! I’m a very happy person and really enjoy working with kids, so if you’re looking for someone high energy, I’ve definitely got it! What I love most about babysitting is being a support for the family.

I got most of my experience from raising my three kids, boy and 2 girls, and all of them are in the college now. I always loved being surrounded with children even before having my own. so after graduating from college I worked as a pre-school teacher for 2 years in my country where I enjoyed creating fun activities for children, playing with them. As a mom, spending time with my kids was and still so precious to me, and I assure you that I will treat your kids and take care of them like they were my own. I work part time and my work schedule is pretty flexible, I am available on Thursday and on Sunday at anytime and some days early morning and in the afternoon too , I will be more than glad to help in taking care of your kids, like dropping off & picking them up from school, playing outside with them, reading stories, playing board games, and helping them with their homework, I have Adult, Children, Infant, Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification, and I am Covid vaccinated. * “References Available Upon Request”

We had a wonderful experience with Fatima. She arrived on time and was very friendly. My son has a hard time when we leave and she handled it really well. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Hi, my name is Sarah and I have a masters in school counseling. I have 15 years of experience working with children, teens and people with disabilities. I also love to babysit my nieces and nephews. I am a former registered behavior technician and know ABA(behavior) therapy. When I’m taking care of young kids I like to read to them, play games, complete puzzles or simply do whatever they enjoy. I also like to take them outdoors to local playgrounds or go for walks if parents permit. In my free time I enjoy live music, painting and spending time with family and friends.

"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!"
