Taylor Edgewater
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caregiving, supported by both my education and hands-on experience. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which has given me a deep understanding of emotional development, communication, and how to support individuals with patience and empathy. In terms of experience, I have worked with children in both structured and informal settings, helping with daily routines, play, and emotional support. I’m comfortable managing different age groups and understand the importance of creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. I also have experience assisting with household tasks such as meal preparation, light cleaning, and organization, which helps keep things running smoothly for families. My personality is one of my biggest strengths as a caregiver. I am patient, dependable, attentive, and compassionate. I take the time to understand each person’s unique needs and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m also very responsible and communicative, so families can feel confident that their loved ones are in good hands. Additionally, I am comfortable around pets and can assist with basic pet care, including feeding, walking, and providing attention. Overall, I bring a well-rounded, caring, and reliable approach to caregiving that focuses on safety, trust, and genuine connection.

Amanda Edgewater
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Shady Side, 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.

$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Bernice and I am 25 years old. I am from San Antonio Texas but moved here because of the Army. I have been in for 7 years, but my job is currently at a clinic 4 days a week. I’m looking for a side job for occasions and weekends. I can drive and have a Toyota Corolla cross, but I have no car seats. I was a sitter for 2 families during COVID and did weekend and even baby sitting at my old duty station. My experience with these families was amazing because I got to help kids become active and enjoy being creative. I have experience with special needs children, helping with homework, and creating planning parties and hosting activities. One of my families that I baby sat weekly had 3 kids ages 2, 4, and 8. I have worked in the medical field for 7 years and have my CPR and first aid certificate that I must re-certify for every two years. Currently, I am in college and need 7 more classes to finish my bachelors degree in health sciences.
