Booked by 28 families in Gwynn Oak, MD

Hello parents! My name is Annie- a native of the D.C. area, I live in Baltimore, have family in Silver Spring, and commute to NW D.C. so I’m happy to pick up jobs anywhere in the area! What I bring to the table: •Nearly 20 years of experience with childcare and household management for preschool-to-high school aged kids and families. I was with my previous family for 14 years and have been with my current family since 2019. •Intuitive and fast thinking- I am able to quickly troubleshoot situations and navigate decisions without handholding. Fixing problems before they become problems. •Almost spotless driving record (one camera ticket in the last few years), plus a squeaky clean criminal record. I am very comfortable driving, navigating rush hour, parallel parking, etc. I have my own transportation. •Funny, down to earth, and strong in my convictions- would like to work with a family on the same wavelength. •I love to cook and am familiar with many different cuisines. Comfortable in kosher, vegetarian/vegan, and gluten-free/allergy kitchens. •Happy to work with families and kids of all types! LGBTQ+, polyam, gnc, families and kids welcome. The downsides: •I am only available for occasional or as-needed work. I currently work part-time with a rolling schedule so I have decent availability but cannot commit to a set schedule. •I am a night owl and prefer to work afternoons and evenings. Late nights are not a problem. •Funny, down to earth, and strong in my convictions- so I’m unfortunately not willing to work with folks whose values don’t match my own :) When not corralling kids, I am in the garden (or planning next year’s garden), elbow deep in dyeing yarn, at my weaving loom with a podcast on, or watching local music. Catch me at your local maker’s market 🧶 Hope to her from you soon!

“Arrived on time. Our toddler immediately enjoyed playing with Annie. Great experience for parents and child.”

Booked by 3 families in Gwynn Oak, MD

Hi Baltimore neighbors! My name is Astrid, and I'm a responsible and energetic careworker invested in providing fun and culturally informed care. I am adaptable to your unique family needs and want to create a fun and safe environment for your family. I'm a recent master of social work graduate and aspiring birthworker with experience caring for children, teens, and adults in a mental health capacity. I also have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children, older adults and pets. I was raised by my grandmother who ran a small at-home daycare which sparked my passion for supporting healthy family ecosystems. Nowadays, I'm an auntie to a toddler and a cat mom to 2 rambunctious kittens. I'm seeking part-time, one-time, and occasional work. Please message me with your questions and inquiries. Let's see if we'd be a good fit!

“Great initial phone interview! Very professional and well-spoken. She took the time to discuss my family's needs and answered all of my questions thoroughly. She asked great questions about the kids routine and shared her background. We discussed basic expectations, CPR, scheduling availability, and logistics, though we would want to do an in-person meeting before booking long-term. Communication was seamless and easy, felt completely comfortable right away. Very excited and looking forward to moving forward!”
