Nana $17 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.

Booked by 1 family in Crofton, MD

Hi! My name is Brianca, I am a college student. It is summer break right now. I am here to care for your children during the week. Depending on your schedule I am flexible when school begins again!! I started working with children at a very young age because I love kids. I took a child development class in high school which taught me foundational knowledge about children at a young age. This also allowed me to work face to face with children everyday. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and young children. I am also a graduate student at my university. I specialize in creating, engaging and educational activities while advancing problem solving skills and multitasking skills.

“Brianca is wonderful! Extremely caring and responsible. ”
