"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."

Camryn $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dunkirk, MD
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!
Keyri $30 per hour for 1 child
Bilingual nanny (Spanish/English) with experience caring for infants and older children. I specialize in calm and structured evening routines. Responsible, patient, and organized.

Amanda $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dunkirk, MD
Hi there! I’m Amanda; a longtime caregiver, former au-pair/nanny, and a single mom of two wonderful kids. Alongside my main work as a consultant, I also serve as a substitute teacher for AACPS, and help coach local kids sports, so I’m used to adapting quickly and connecting with children of all personalities and ages. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility to help local families with babysitting, after-school care, or date nights. Whether it’s keeping little ones engaged with activities, helping with homework, or making sure evenings run smoothly, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable. I'm an energetic, dependable, patient, and easy going Australian, and genuinely enjoy being with kids. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household tasks or pet care when needed. Available for flexible bookings in Edgewater, Annapolis, and nearby areas; open to evening or occasional weekend jobs when my schedule allows.
