Morgan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Morgan! I'm 24 years old and just graduated from nursing school. I'll be studying this summer to take the licensure exam but I'm hoping to babysit while I do so. I come from a big family of seven and have always enjoyed being around kids. I worked in a child care center and a sitter in high school, and also volunteered for a year at Dell Children's Medical Center. I have babysat for families since I was 16 with their ages ranging from newborns to school-aged. I've decided to get into sitting again because of the flexibility it provides for my schedule, and I'm hoping I can be of service to yours as well.

Angelys $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student majoring in Elementary education. My work experience includes daycare teacher for the past year and a half, specifically a MD state certified Toddler teacher. Prior to work, my experience has been babysitting my families and friends’ families children! A few traits about me is that I have grown up to love teaching, and working with children. I love music, bright colors, and turtles. My dream career has always been becoming a teacher. I have always enjoyed seeing the smiles from children when they’re having fun, or excited to learn. I will always make the environment safe so all children can feel welcomed and seen.
