"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for! As a former Program Facilitator and Youth Development Specialist, I have three years of experience supporting families by providing reliable care. I am currently a receptionist at a Pediatrics office. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and caring for children of all ages. I keep parents informed through verbal communication at pickup, regular updates via text or phone call, and by following your preferred communication method. I enjoy board games, puzzles, and even some technology-based games. I am also willing to help with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I speak both English and Spanish. I hope to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family!

Hi! My name is Carol. I have more than 6 years of experience in and out the country, with children of all ages, since newborns to teenagers. I also worked in a preschool for almost 2 years before I moved to United States. I love taking care of kids and empathize with them! Keeping them safe is my priority and making them happy is my best job!!🤗
“Carol is awesome! She has been working for our family four days a week for more than 6 months. She is incredibly reliable and responsible; she is an excellent driver, and she drives my kids to their after-school activities around Bethesda. She always arrives on time and has never missed a day. She is thoughtful and diligent about her work for our family. She is responsible for our two adolescent boys after school, she prepares meals for the kids, helps us manage the household, and she is responsive to any tasks we need her help with. She has been a tremendous resource to our family and I whole-heartedly recommend her.”

Hello! My name is Marianella. I’ve had several years of babysitting and nannying experience working with children of all ages newborn, infant, toddlers, and elementary age. I have two beautiful terrific kids 🥰. In addition, I’m from Colombia - South America so, I would like to share my culture with you. My primary hobbies of nannying include crafts or creative activities! I’m a very happy person and really enjoy working with kids, so if you’re looking for someone high energy, I’ve definitely got it! What I love most about babysitting is being a support for the family.
