Amirah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Amirah, and I'm currently a business honors student at the University of Maryland. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with children and have experience through family and friends. However, I recently graduated from a teacher prep program at the Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC (dual-enrollment high school), graduating with an associate's degree in teacher preparation. While studying there, I acquired more than 30 hours of observation and hands-on experience in real-world classrooms. I also have experience working with animals, as I have lived with both a dog and two cats before and am used to household chores such as light cleaning (dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and running errands.

Booked by 1 family in Laurel, MD

I’m a thoughtful, empathetic person with a deep appreciation for nurturing and care. Outside of my professional career, I’ve always had a natural fondness for children and families. I believe that caring for someone’s home or loved ones isn’t just a “job”; it’s a responsibility rooted in respect, trust, and understanding.

“Nadia is such an amazing and calm person. My children love her and always look forward to seeing her. She involves the children in different play activities with minimal to no screen time at all. We trust her with the kids and know that they’re in good hands. We are glad to have met her!”

Catherine $20 per hour for 1 child

As a proud mother of two beautiful daughters and a woman of African heritage, I deeply believe in the proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This belief is at the heart of how I care for and connect with children. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Motherhood has gifted me with patience, gentleness, and empathy, while my experience in a school setting has expanded my understanding of child development and creative learning. I cherish the opportunity to inspire curiosity, emotional growth, and joyful exploration—making me a thoughtful, community-minded, and dedicated nanny/helper.

Olivia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Olivia. I'm offering child care, senior care, and household help. Being an older sister, I've naturally taken on a caretaking role. Growing up, my sister and I played "school," where I was always the teacher. It was a little glimpse into how much I love helping kids learn and grow. At 16, I became a summer camp counselor for kids ages 6-13, and through college I babysat two children for a family friend. I've also volunteered in a kindergarten classroom teaching an "Hour of Code." My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, activities, and appointments, plus cooking meals and snacks. What I love most is the whimsy, curiosity, and joy of children. I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of warmth to every family. During college, I also worked in a nursing home, where I helped direct activities and built warm connections with the seniors. I'm comfortable with senior care and happy to cook or drive to appointments. I truly value being someone parents can trust and families feel safe with.
