Abigya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Abigya, and I’m currently a senior at the University of Maryland, majoring in Information Science. I am offering child care and household services. I love working with children and have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids since I was 15. My responsibilities have included helping with school pick-ups, tutoring, organizing fun activities, and more. I’ve also tutored children for 2 years at a Kumon tutoring center and teach Sunday school students. I can assist with household tasks like cleaning and running errands. I don’t have any pet allergies and am happy to work with families that have both cats and dogs.

I love creating a safe, positive environment where everyone feels comfortable, valued, and even gets to smile a little more. Whether it’s keeping kids engaged, making sure seniors feel respected and cared for, or giving pets the attention they deserve, I’m all in.

Booked by 1 family in Burtonsville, 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!”
