Booked by 1 family in Laurel, MD

Hi! I’m Nichole! I’m currently a nursing student getting ready to graduate, and I’m especially interested in working with children and eventually becoming a NICU nurse. I’m BLS certified and have experience in healthcare settings, so safety, patience, and being attentive to others’ needs are very important to me. While I’m newer to professional babysitting, I’m comfortable caring for and interacting with children and would love the opportunity to build more childcare experience. I’m dependable, patient, caring, and easygoing, and I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and preferences. I can help with playtime, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, light tidying, and keeping little ones entertained and safe. I also have plenty of experience caring for pets, so I’m very comfortable in homes with dogs and cats. I’d love to connect with families looking for a trustworthy and responsible sitter for date nights, occasional care, or other babysitting needs!

“Nichole is wonderful - it is obvious she loves babies and is a very kind and attentive caregiver. She jumped right in caring for my 8 month old and goes above and beyond. She is also a great communicator and very dependable. Highly recommend!”

Katherine $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kate and I am college student looking to obtain more babysitting jobs while home during the summer and winter breaks! I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience with a wide variety of ages, the youngest being 5 months. I have had the pleasure of working with multiple families when their children were babies and have continued watching them as toddlers and elementary schoolers. I am a reliable babysitter who is always on time and committed to giving my full attention to the children to ensure they are safe and happy. I love keeping the children engaged through games, art activities, playing outside, imaginative play, storytelling, and reading. I am also happy to help with homework or learning based activities. Finally, I am responsible and will always follow instructions regarding activities, meal times, and bedtime routines. I can also assist with housework including cleaning up toys, preparing meals, and doing dishes. Feel free to ask any questions!

Nana $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nana, and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman at Bowie State University majoring in Nursing. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I have three younger siblings, and I've been helping raise and babysit them since they were born. Being responsible for them taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for children of different ages. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in nursing and made me realize how much I enjoy helping families. I'm experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I'm also happy to prepare simple meals, help with bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping play areas clean and organized. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I understand the importance of creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I'm excited to help families by providing reliable childcare while building meaningful relationships with both parents and their children.

Hillary $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hillary, I am a current senior in high school. I am offering child care. I work with the elderly right now but I also enjoy working with kids. As a high school student with a half day schedule, the rest of my day was spent at an elementary school as an intern. When it comes to kids I enjoy doing arts and crafts and also active activities they would like doing. I could provide homework help if needed. Growing up I was left with the responsibility of watching my cousins whether it was for the weekend or the day. I enjoy working and looking after kids and would like to expand.
