Booked by 1 family in Cobb Island, MD

Hi! I’m Kelsey — an experienced nanny and infant teacher with a strong background in early childhood care. I’ve worked as a Head Start teacher, infant room teacher, and private nanny, caring for children from newborn through preschool age. I’m especially comfortable with infants and toddlers, including feeding breast milk, supporting developmental milestones, managing routines, and handling illness or challenging behaviors calmly and safely. I’m organized, reliable, and communicative, and I believe in keeping parents informed about their child’s day and development. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, attending library programs, and creating a nurturing environment where children can grow and feel secure. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping and family routines as well. I look forward to supporting your family!

Great communication and very accommodating. Would definitely book again!

It’s always a great feeling when you have someone dependable for quality care. Look no further! My name is Alexandra and I’ve been working with children infant to school age for more than 14 plus years. I gained my first experience working aside my grandmother as an elementary teacher, until she was promoted to principal. After retiring she decided to continue her love for children when she opened her own licensed preschool. At that time I was very young but always said when I grew up I wanted become a teacher. That dream became reality! Today I have not only stuck with early childhood education but now an assistant director at a preschool where I can continue to utilize my creativity through education. I’m loving, caring, honest, fun and enjoy daily making a difference in our little lives life.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 45 families in Cobb Island, MD

Hi! My name is Megan and I’m 28 years old. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2019. I live in Manassas, VA. I’ve enjoyed babysitting kids of all ages since I was 13. I work full time during the week, and I’m looking to make some extra spending money on weekends and weeknights. In my free time, I like to run, cook and read. I have my own car and I’m willing to travel into DC and to nearby suburbs in MD and VA. I look forward to meeting you!

Megan was great with 4 children (6,4,3 & 2) to allow another couple and my husband & I to go out the evening/night of Valentine’s Day. We had a wonderful time and Megan made that possible. She was responsive, kind and funny and my daughter who was crying moments before we left (about us leaving) seemed to forget her sadness within 5 minutes of Megan showing up. She even got all 4 toddlers down successfully and they were sound asleep when we got home, miraculous! We’d love to have her watch our children again.
