Booked by 1 family in California, MD

Hi! I’m Kelsey — an experienced nanny and infant teacher with a strong background in early childhood care. I’ve worked as a Head Start teacher, infant room teacher, and private nanny, caring for children from newborn through preschool age. I’m especially comfortable with infants and toddlers, including feeding breast milk, supporting developmental milestones, managing routines, and handling illness or challenging behaviors calmly and safely. I’m organized, reliable, and communicative, and I believe in keeping parents informed about their child’s day and development. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, attending library programs, and creating a nurturing environment where children can grow and feel secure. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping and family routines as well. I look forward to supporting your family!

Great communication and very accommodating. Would definitely book again!

Nurturing children's development is a true passion of mine, sparked by positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. I hold a graduate degree and am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. My approach is patient and friendly. I always follow parents' preferred communication methods and am comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to prepare meals and engage children with fun activities, including outdoor sports, board games, and even educational apps. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I speak Arabic and Spanish in addition to English. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on your children's lives. I look forward to hearing from you!

Booked by 1 family in California, MD

Hi there! I’m Amanda; a longtime caregiver, former au-pair/nanny, and a single mom of two wonderful kids. Alongside my main work as a consultant, I also serve as a substitute teacher for AACPS, and help coach local kids sports, so I’m used to adapting quickly and connecting with children of all personalities and ages. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility to help local families with babysitting, after-school care, or date nights. Whether it’s keeping little ones engaged with activities, helping with homework, or making sure evenings run smoothly, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable. I'm an energetic, dependable, patient, and easy going Australian, and genuinely enjoy being with kids. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household tasks or pet care when needed. Available for flexible bookings in Edgewater, Annapolis, and nearby areas; open to evening or occasional weekend jobs when my schedule allows.

Booked by 4 families in California, MD

I’m looking for a great family to support full time. I started out as a nanny and family house manager then went into IT for a number of years as a Project Manager. I am seeking to return to a full-time house manager / nanny or nanny only position that also supports a family with newborn and or active kids who need day to day transportation to school, friends, sports, homework help and extracurricular activities. I know I can help bring order to a family who needs my extra set of hands, mind, and experience can bring. I’m an experienced event and party planner, personal chef and meal planning, support homework and home routines for the children, and manage vendors and service providers for projects that maybe needed in the home. Also available for full weekend support / overnight care. Need a weekend away? Have a special event coming up? Plan ahead and book a weekend now. FRIDAY - 6 PM to Sunday 6 PM I’m an experienced nanny of newborns to 17 year olds. I have: College degree My own transportation I have excellent references and current clearances and background checks from: FBI Criminal Background History FBI Fingerprinting DOD Army Clearance Clean driving record No drinking No smoking I love doing creative age appropriate activities with children. Reading, tummy time, music, and more for infants. The list of activities grows as the children grow. We can discuss time options, children’s sports and social schedules, weekend and other requirements.

I got stuck in DC because of flight cancellations and ending up with my 3 year old daughter and prep meeting with clients for an important next day meeting. Mary Beth arrived at the hotel promptly (in advance) and with only a request that afternoon. My daughter loved her. Indeed, she was able to do things with Patina that are hard for me -- get her to draw, tell stories, get her PJs on, and get into bed on time. Terrific.
