A'Neishia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I bring over five years of experience supporting families with children ranging from infants to school‑age. I’ve worked with families both regularly and on an as‑needed basis, adapting as their schedules and needs changed. I currently work in the school system with Pre‑K through 5th‑grade students, where I assist teachers with interventions and provide support to students with a wide range of academic, behavioral, and social‑emotional needs. This experience has strengthened my creativity and ability to connect with children at different developmental stages. When working with families, I love getting to know each child’s personality, routines, and interests. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as arts and crafts, painting, dancing, homework help, trips to the park or museums, library visits, and supporting bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable offering light potty‑training support when needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks—tidying up, running quick errands, house sitting, or pet sitting (I have a few pets of my own). I can also assist with simple meal prep or light cooking. My goal is always to make your day a little easier and ensure your child feels safe, supported, and cared for.

Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with children and youth since high school. I had the desire to work with children and youth as an adult however I haven’t had the chance to really balance that with school and work. Now that I am older and have more availability I want to pursue my passion with working with children and youth. I have a degree in family and humanities and I am a veteran. Over the years I’ve always wanted to pursue having a daycare center or a family based childcare. I still have that passion so I am looking to build a trusted and useful community for those who need my services. I am looking to provide support to families who do not work the traditional 9 to 5 working hours. My services is available for those who work non-traditional hours. The evening/overnight shift and those who work various changing work schedules. I received my experience with working with children and youth through internships, community engagements, and helping family and friend when they need a babysitter. I am willing to experience more hands on opportunities with you and your family. I believe that my passion for working with children of all ages will get me the experience I need to run a successful business. Please feel free to contact me. Excited to work with you.

Hi - my name is Phoenix and I’m a current Junior at UMBC studying biology. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services.

Noor $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Noor — Your Family’s Extra Helping Hand! 💛 I’m originally from the Middle East. I’m fluent in Arabic and English and have about 3 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers in a daycare, along with experience with older children. I’m also a mom to an 8-year-old daughter, so caring for kids is something I truly enjoy! I’m comfortable with children of all ages and love creating a fun, safe, and welcoming environment. Whether it’s a trip to the park or fun at home with baking, painting, board games, crafts, costumes, and pretend play, I always try to make their time enjoyable. I can also help elementary-age children with homework and tutoring. And I love cooking! My favorite dish is lasagna, and I’d be happy to prepare meals or even teach kids how to make fun, simple foods like homemade mini pizzas. 🐶 Pet & Senior Care: I also provide dog sitting and walking and am comfortable with all dog breeds, so I’m happy to help with your furry family members too! 👵🏻 Senior care: Both of my senior parents live with me, and caring for them brings me a lot of peace and joy. I’m comfortable helping seniors with companionship, cooking, driving to appointments or errands, cleaning, and everyday tasks. 🏡 Household Help: I’m also happy to help with cleaning, organizing, laundry, cooking, and running errands. I can bring my own cleaning supplies when needed, although I prefer to use the supplies you already have. I’m a warm, patient, dependable, and caring person, and I genuinely love helping families. Whether you need childcare, senior care, pet care, or an extra hand around the house, I’m happy to help wherever I’m needed! Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction. I look forward to meeting you and your family and hopefully becoming someone you can rely on! 💕
