I’m an RBT with 3 years of experience working with children with ASD, where I've developed a strong foundation in patience, empathy, and creating supportive environments. I love the field so much I am actively pursuing a Masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In addition to my therapeutic work, I've coached kids ages 3-15 in T-ball, baseball, softball, and soccer, and I played softball myself for 13 years, which has taught me teamwork, discipline, and how to motivate others. I'm CPR certified, and as a proud pet owner of three dogs, I’m experienced in caring for animals as well. I’m passionate about working with kids, whether it’s providing therapy, coaching, or simply making sure they feel safe, engaged, and happy. My compassionate, patient, and reliable nature allows me to build trust with families and create positive experiences for every child I work with.
Worked as a Teacher/Childcare Provider at a school center operated through TidalHealth in Salisbury for 2 years. Provided care and early childhood support for infants (3 weeks old) through preschoolers (age 5). Maintained small classroom ratios to ensure safety and individualized attention (approximately 5 infants per room and 6 preschool children per teacher). Assisted with daily routines, including feeding, diapering, educational activities, and developmental play. Supervised aftercare from 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM, up to 3–5 days per week, ensuring a safe and structured environment until parents arrived. Supported children's social, emotional, and developmental growth through structured learning and play. Provided dog walking and basic pet care services in the neighborhood during earlier years. Experienced with caring for personal pets, having owned three dogs, including responsibilities such as feeding, walking, grooming, and general care.
Hi! My name is Mincie. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’ve worked in a licensed daycare, provided one-on-one tutoring, and served as a summer camp counselor, giving me strong skills in safety, engagement, and age-appropriate activities. Parents describe me as patient, dependable, and calm, even in busy or high-energy situations. I love creating fun, screen-free activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping routines consistent. I always prioritize communication and safety, and I treat every child with kindness and respect. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute care. I would love to support your family — please feel free to reach out with any questions!
“I highly recommend Mincie for any family looking for someone dependable and professional. She is responsible, punctual, and communicates clearly, which made it easy to trust her with our child. She has a calm, patient approach and handled daily routines, meals, and activities with confidence. She was attentive, safety-focused, and genuinely engaged with our child at all times. We always felt comfortable knowing our child was in capable hands, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other families.”
Hi everyone, my name is Daniah and I’m from Maryland. I’m a recent graduate of Mount St. Mary’s University with a bachelor’s of science in psychology and am currently in graduate school at George Washington University for my master’s in school counseling. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I have years of experience working with children as a Sabbath School teacher, ABA therapist, and caregiver. I’ve supported kids from toddlers to teens, including children with autism, helping them with communication, daily routines, and social skills. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. I’ve cared for seniors and vulnerable adults—helping with appointments, errands, medication, and daily support—and love being a steady, compassionate presence. I also assist with cooking, cleaning, and other household tasks. I’m dependable, empathetic, patient, and passionate about helping others feel safe, supported, and cared for. Let me know how I can help your family!
Hi, I’m Camryn! I’m 26 years old and absolutely love working with kids! I’ve been in the childcare world for over 10 years — I started babysitting at 15 and have spent the last 5 years working full-time in a daycare setting. Caring for children is more than just a job to me — it’s my passion. I love watching kids learn, grow, and discover the world around them. Whether it’s playtime, storytime, or helping with routines, I aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and supported. I’m experienced with all age groups, reliable, patient, and always ready with a game, a snack, or a story. 💛 Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!
