Catherine Bowie
$20 per hour for 1 child

As a proud mother of two beautiful daughters and a woman of African heritage, I deeply believe in the proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This belief is at the heart of how I care for and connect with children. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Motherhood has gifted me with patience, gentleness, and empathy, while my experience in a school setting has expanded my understanding of child development and creative learning. I cherish the opportunity to inspire curiosity, emotional growth, and joyful exploration—making me a thoughtful, community-minded, and dedicated nanny/helper.

Nana Bowie
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nana, and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman at Bowie State University majoring in Nursing. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I have three younger siblings, and I've been helping raise and babysit them since they were born. Being responsible for them taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for children of different ages. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in nursing and made me realize how much I enjoy helping families. I'm experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I'm also happy to prepare simple meals, help with bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping play areas clean and organized. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I understand the importance of creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I'm excited to help families by providing reliable childcare while building meaningful relationships with both parents and their children.

Imaculada Odenton
$15 per hour for 1 child

I have over 6 years of experience with children. I am patient, caring, creative, reliable, responsible, organized, and very flexible. I enjoy playing, singing, listening to music, doing activities, dancing, preparing recipes with the children, taking care of their clothes, and much more. I have worked as a nanny with children aged 0 to 7 years. I was a literacy teacher and also have experience as a catechist for children aged 4 to 12 years. Currently, I care for two very affectionate and energetic children, spending time creating and playing indoor and outdoor games, trying to stay as much as possible away from technology, close to nature, books, and time for imagination, learning, and creativity. I have several qualifications related to education, such as: early childhood educator, nanny training, childcare assistant, pedagogy, and first aid. I love caring for and being around children.
