I'm a warm, dependable caregiver with 20+ years of experience from infants through adolescents, and a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health. I'm also CPR certified for children and adults through the American Red Cross, recently renewed. I believe great childcare starts with getting to know each child and respecting the way each family does things. I like to learn your routines and expectations so I can provide care that feels comfortable and consistent. During our time together, I keep things safe, calm, and fun-whether that means helping with homework, playing a game, getting outside, preparing a meal, or settling into bedtime. I've also worked as a teacher, tutor, and mentor, and I love helping children feel confident, curious, and capable. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to meet kids where they are, and I want parents to feel confident that their children are in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!
“Sara has been watching our kids regularly since they were babies, and they still light up whenever they hear she's "coming over to play." She's incredibly reliable and always arrives early. She stays in close touch throughout each visit, sending updates and pictures of whatever fun they're having together, and she's always respectful of our kids' routines, asking thoughtful questions about our expectations for the day. Bedtime is where she has impressed us, she's masterfully guided our kids through bath time, stories, and getting settled for the night, calmly and consistently. Whenever we're in a logistical crunch and I'm stressed about how to make it all work, Sara is the first person I think to call. She's been steady and dependable for our family for years, and she's genuinely a joy to have around and one of the most thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable people I know. We'll keep booking with Sara, and I recommend her to any family looking for a sitter they can truly rely on.”
I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys being around children. I’m a Certified medical assistant and CPR certified. I have experience working in childcare, completed coursework in Early Childhood Education, and grew up helping care for my younger siblings. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for kids, and I’m also a big animal lover!
My name is Nate. I offer specialized care for children, seniors, and pets. With a calm demeanor and a deep sense of responsibility, I quickly build rapport with all. I'm here to provide peace of mind and excellent care for your most cherished family members.
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.
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.
