Charlotte Baltimore
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Charlotte and I would love to be able to lend some help to families in the Baltimore area. I am currently a junior at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, studying political science. I have been babysitting since my early teen years and was a volunteer counselor at Catonsville Presbyterian Church's summer camp for two years. While the majority of my experience is with school age children, I have also worked with toddlers and older infants. I am happy to cook simple meals, do dishes, and pretty much any other chores that might be needed around the house. Aside from that, I’m a fun-loving, attentive, and creative caregiver, always happy to spend time with kids. Looking forward to lending a hand and please don't hesitate to message me with any questions!
