Lisa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Lisa. I'm a dedicated, energetic, and personable mom of four who has been raising my family for the past 11 years - my children are 4, 6, 9 and 11. As the third oldest of eight, I have a lifetime of experience with babysitting, bonding with, and helping children. I don't shy away from household work, either! I am looking to get back into the workforce in a capacity that both suits my own schedule and allows me to highlight my strengths. In addition to my practical experience of being a mom and running a household, I have past experience in the professional workforce. Those jobs have included office manager, administrative assistant, file clerk, and similar positions. In each of my past jobs, there has been some element of at least some of these skills: organizing; maintaining and at times devising filing systems - both digital and traditional; maintaining calendars/schedules; training co-workers; writing manuals. Writing, proofreading, and editing are great strengths of mine and ones I enjoy utilizing. I have previously cared for others' children, as well as been a dogsitter and cat sitter. Understanding the demands of parenthood (and adulthood in general), I also understand the demands of family life. Need light housework, laundry, reorganizing/cleaning spaces, or other such tasks in your home or office? Lessening the weight of these loads will allow you and your family to function better. (I have a great interest in highlighting and growing my organizing talents!) Other qualifications that might be of help to you: *packing/unpacking before and after moves *switching out seasonal clothes *making donation lists/inputting into databases *organizing online files, folders, and photos *maintaining (and setting up if needed) filing systems for bills and other paperwork *helping elementary school-aged children with homework (possibly older kids too) *reading to children (and adults!) *planning and setting up for parties (and cleaning up afterward too!) I am personable, a fast learner, enthusiastic, sincere, and have a lot of experience interacting with people in various settings. Meeting families through this platform is an exciting prospect for me. I am open to other positions that I have not listed here and look forward to meeting you soon!

Nancy $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Beltsville, MD

Hello, I am Nancy. I am currently student at montgomery college. I’ve always loved being around kids—it’s something that comes naturally to me. With many nephews and nieces, I’ve spent years helping take care of them, and it’s given me so much joy and experience. Whether it’s playing games, telling stories, or just making them laugh, I love creating a space where kids feel happy and cared for. What I enjoy most is how unique every child is. They each have their own personality, and it’s so rewarding to connect with them and see them grow. Taking care of kids has taught me to be patient, creative, and understanding, which are qualities I bring to every family I work with. For me, childcare isn’t just a responsibility—it’s something I’m passionate about and genuinely enjoy doing.
