Morgan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Morgan! I'm 24 years old and just graduated from nursing school. I'll be studying this summer to take the licensure exam but I'm hoping to babysit while I do so. I come from a big family of seven and have always enjoyed being around kids. I worked in a child care center and a sitter in high school, and also volunteered for a year at Dell Children's Medical Center. I have babysat for families since I was 16 with their ages ranging from newborns to school-aged. I've decided to get into sitting again because of the flexibility it provides for my schedule, and I'm hoping I can be of service to yours as well.

Teaja $16 per hour for 1 child

I’m the second oldest of six kids, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I naturally take on a leadership role and often help my younger siblings whether that’s preparing meals, helping with homework, keeping them on schedule, or making sure they’re ok. I also help care for my great grandmother from time to time, helping with light chores and meals. Being part of a big family has taught me patience, responsibility and how to stay calm in busy situations. I’m dependable, nurturing and enjoy helping others feel safe and cared for.

Charlotte $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!

Zion $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Zion and I am currently a sophomore at Coppin State University. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I love working with children, and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children for more than 8+ years. Additionally, I am an assistant teacher at a daycare facility when I am on breaks from school. My responsibilities have included feeding, potty training/diaper changing, crafts, and tutoring. I am also open to cleaning, cooking, and running errands. To add on, I am comfortable with working with animals.

Ashley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a scientist by day and babysitter by night! Alongside my passion for science is my love for children. Growing up with many younger siblings (as the eldest), I’ve had the privilege of helping care for them from a young age. I’ve also tutored young children (ages 3+) at Kumon here in Baltimore, where I gained experience with creative play and learning. Additionally, I have a master’s degree in biology and come from parents who have a longstanding career in early childhood education. I’m pediatric CPR and First-Aid certified, reliable, patient, compassionate, and most of all filled to the brim with positive energy. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, learning, homework assistance, or additional household daily tasks, I’m here to make a positive difference and help make being a parent a teeny bit easier. Spending time with children brings me positive energy, and it’s the perfect balance to my life as a scientist. I look forward to getting to know you and caring for your little ones.
