Hello, my name is Michelle and I’ve taken care of kids since the end of my high school year. What I most like about babysitting is the environment the child makes by being creative and learning from each thing they do and it’s basically never a dull moment. My motive is to help out parents and give them a fresh start each day when coming back home from work. I also have experience with newborns. I am a recent college graduate and soon to transferring to University to get my bachelors degree.

Hello families, I’m currently looking for a part-time babysitting position for a few hours in the afternoon, a few days a week. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I’m also a mother of two school-aged children myself, which has deepened my understanding of children’s needs, routines, and development. Here are a few things I bring to the role: • Extensive experience with multiple children and families over the years • CPR/First Aid knowledge (optional – let me know if you’re certified and want to add that) • Safe and reliable transportation – I have a clean driving record and my own car • Flexible, dependable, and punctual • Basic Spanish speaker – comfortable communicating and supporting bilingual children • Organized and proactive – I can help with after-school routines, homework, snack prep, and light tidying • Loving, calm, and attentive approach to every child I care for I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids, while also respecting the routines and values of each family. Please feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a trustworthy and experienced babysitter for your family!

Both our boys,9 and 3, had so much fun with Michaela. She played games with them, puzzles, read books, took them outside for a walk and prepared food for them. She communicated great with us the entire time - she also sent us several pictures of our boys playing together to keep us updated. She’s very engaging, communicative and friendly. Our boys absolutely love her (they were super excited to play with her again). We felt she became a very important part of our family. We miss her!

Booked by 2 families in District Heights, MD

Hi, my name is Myka! I’ve always had a passion caring for children ever since I could remember. I’ve gained several years of childcare experience, caring for ages newborn to school-age in various settings such as daycare, in-home nanny and being a school nurse. Being a mother myself has also given me further knowledge and experience in caring for newborns to school-age.

Myka is wonderful to work with! She is reliable, punctual and most importantly she is so kind and loving with our two energetic boys and we came back to two very happy kids who asked when she could come back again.
