Laila 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I am 24 years old. I am excellent with kids. I have been working with kids for 10+ years. I started working with kids as a volunteer at a private school in Rockville when I was a teenager. And since then I’ve really enjoyed working with kids. I love music, food, video games, road trips, traveling, etc. I love to collect stuffed animals & I love to cook. I’ve recently taken up tennis as a hobby.

“I worked with Laila in an after-school program, and she was always reliable, caring, and great with the kids. She was patient, professional, and did a great job keeping the children engaged while making sure they were safe and following their routines. She worked well with both the kids and the staff, and you could tell she genuinely cared about the children she was working with. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and dependable babysitter.”

Hi, my name is Nia, and I am a student at Howard University studying Sociology and African American Studies. I have over four years of babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am responsible, patient, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy reading with children, helping with homework, organizing arts and crafts activities, and encouraging creative and educational play. I can assist with meal and snack preparation as well as light housekeeping. I take pride in building positive relationships with both children and parents and strive to make every family feel supported and at ease.

“Nia Assata has been the only non-biological caregiver my daughters (currently 15yo and 7yo) have known for the past four years. Nia has been remarkably caring, responsible, and creative in her care for them despite an eight year age-gap. She has watched them for several hours at a time, sometimes overnight. Despite my wife and I having a robust community of friends and family, we trust Nia exclusively with the care of our girls in our absence as she is consistently thoughtful, even tempered, and aware of their comings and goings as she is responsible for them. Her interaction style is also quite competent as she is inquisitive, interactive, and directive while also having a gentle way that could disarm even an oppositional child. We recommend her without reservation”

Booked by 1 family in Beltsville, 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!”

Julie $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring and dependable mother of three adult children with a long history of working with little ones. Before raising my own family, I spent two years working in a daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. For many years, I also taught children at Sabbath School, which helped me understand how to keep young minds engaged, supported, and feeling safe. I bring a calm, nurturing presence into the home, and I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages. Parents often appreciate my patience, my consistency, and the way I help children feel understood and valued. What I Offer I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to creating a fun yet structured environment that helps your children thrive. I have a good car and a clean driving record, and I’m used to being on the road from my experience with DoorDash—so pickups, drop-offs, and quick errands are no problem if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone to help after school, during evenings, or for occasional support, I’m happy to step in and bring peace of mind to your family’s routine. Why I would be a good fit: • Mother of three grown children • Experience working in a daycare • Many years teaching children during Sabbath School • Safe and reliable transportation • Professional, gentle, and attentive • Comfortable supporting household routines
