Shelby $25 per hour for 1 child

My husband and I live in Takoma Park in where he attends a doctoral program at UMD. We recently moved from the Boston area where I nannied and worked at a university. I have a degree in theatre arts and began my career working in children's theater. I find myself happiest when laughing with kids, playing games, teaching them songs and dances or just getting to know about their lives. With a strong academic background, I'm a big fan of organization and also seek to always treat kids with mutual respect and good manners. I like to have adventures with kids but I also enjoy quiet moments of reading, learning, and playing. Additionally I like helping with some household tasks (I love a tidy play room during nap time or helping with bottle washing, etc) I've mostly worked with ages 6 months-10 years old.

Lenora 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, reliable professional with over 15 years of experience working with children and families. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is safe, loved, and well cared for. I have completed extensive training in the early childhood education field, including Medication Administration, Basic Health and Safety, First Aid, CPR/AED, Seizure Training, and Emergency Preparedness. With this knowledge, I am able to care for children confidently and calmly, with safety always at the forefront. I am patient, dependable, and committed to creating a calm, nurturing environment while building trusting, positive relationships with both children and families.

“Lenora has taken care of both my kids for almost five years. They both adore her. She is experienced in early childhood education and is great with kids.”

Booked by 1 family in Colesville, MD

As a mother of two grown children and a delighted grandmother, I have a wealth of experience with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic school-aged kids. I've also had the pleasure of looking after my sister's four little ones when they were babies (they're all grown up now) and caring for my great-nieces and nephews. Caring for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children truly brings me joy. I love taking them on adventures to parks, museums, the zoo, and other safe, fun places. Some of my favorite activities include reading stories, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and engaging in educational games. You can trust me to keep your child(ren) safe, happy, and entertained. I'm a warm-hearted person who will treat your kids with the same love and care as my own.

“We absolutely love having her as our babysitter! From the moment she arrives, she brings such a warm, caring presence that makes our child feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly affectionate and nurturing, always ready with a comforting hug and so much patience. One of our favorite things is how much she loves reading. She spends quality time sharing books with our child. It's clear she genuinely enjoys engaging with children in meaningful ways. She is also exceptionally reliable and dependable. We always know we can count on her to be on time, communicate well, and provide excellent care. Her behavior management skills are outstanding—she sets clear, kind boundaries and handles challenging moments with calm confidence and consistency.”

Saira 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Colesville, MD

Hi! My name is Saira. I have been a babysitter since I was 15 years old, so taking care of children has always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for children from 3 months to 10 years old. I love creating fun and creative activities where children can learn, explore, and be themselves. I enjoy supporting them as they discover new things, encouraging their creativity and curiosity, while also helping them with their daily routines. Most importantly, I want every child to feel heard, valued, and confident as they grow. I am a patient, responsible, caring, and honest person. I am very organized and value clear and open communication. I also deeply respect each family’s parenting style and routines, and I am always happy to work together with parents to make sure their children feel safe, loved, and supported.

“Saira was on time and our 6-month-old and 3-year-old seemed immediately comfortable when she arrived and she jumped right into playing with them. She got our baby to sleep for the night and got our toddler ready for bed and read books with him before bed. At the end of the night our toddler went over to give her a big hug and told us he wanted to play with her again! ”

Hello! My name is Bitania (Bee-tan-ya) and I would be happy to help any family in need of a caring sitter! I have experience caring for infants and children below the age of 13 from taking care of my little cousins and younger brother (since birth). I worked in my church's nursery for 4 years, which had children aged 1-8 years old. I love to get creative and make games/activities for the kids I care for. I am energetic and can keep up with kid’s high energy! I am currently working in child life and development and have been trained to do activities with babies that support their mental development and physical growth. I am also CPR certified and was trained as an emergency medical responder. I am a recent college graduate and can assist with homework assignments or tutoring! I have no problem preparing meals and helping with a bed/bath routine as well. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and don't mind wearing a mask in the house if that's your preference. Thank you for reading my intro :).
