Meghan $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brinklow, MD

Hi! I’m a second grade teacher in the MCPS district with a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 12 years as a barber, where I built strong connections with kids and families. I’ve also been babysitting since my early teenage years, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I’m happy to help with homework, plan creative activities, go on nature walks, drive to and from extracurriculars, assist with housekeeping, and, of course, be a little silly and have fun! I am seeking summer employment, but until then, I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I’m also open to last-minute care when you need an extra hand.

Katheryn $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a 32-year-old Colombian woman with 5 years of experience as an occupational therapist, and over 6 years of experience caring for children in various capacities since arriving in the United States in 2017, including Aupair experience. I worked hands-on with children and built adaptive skills, critical thinking, and a problem-solving orientation to help children thrive and gain independence. I take a detail-oriented, charismatic, and respectful approach to my work. I operate with care, compassion, and kindness. I have been around the same American families over the years, I aim to bring my patient, nurturing, and engaging care to another family in my spare time. I aim to promote the learning and growth of children through enjoyable activities that align with a family’s needs and preferences. Building an environment of trust and affection is my top priority. Please feel free to reach out to discuss any specific questions.

Hillary $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hillary, I am a current senior in high school. I am offering child care. I work with the elderly right now but I also enjoy working with kids. As a high school student with a half day schedule, the rest of my day was spent at an elementary school as an intern. When it comes to kids I enjoy doing arts and crafts and also active activities they would like doing. I could provide homework help if needed. Growing up I was left with the responsibility of watching my cousins whether it was for the weekend or the day. I enjoy working and looking after kids and would like to expand.
