I am a college student majoring in Elementary education. My work experience includes daycare teacher for the past year and a half, specifically a MD state certified Toddler teacher. Prior to work, my experience has been babysitting my families and friends’ families children! A few traits about me is that I have grown up to love teaching, and working with children. I love music, bright colors, and turtles. My dream career has always been becoming a teacher. I have always enjoyed seeing the smiles from children when they’re having fun, or excited to learn. I will always make the environment safe so all children can feel welcomed and seen.
Hi there! My name is Charlotte and I would love to be able to lend some help to families in the Baltimore area. I am currently a junior at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, studying political science. I have been babysitting since my early teen years and was a volunteer counselor at Catonsville Presbyterian Church's summer camp for two years. While the majority of my experience is with school age children, I have also worked with toddlers and older infants. I am happy to cook simple meals, do dishes, and pretty much any other chores that might be needed around the house. Aside from that, I’m a fun-loving, attentive, and creative caregiver, always happy to spend time with kids. Looking forward to lending a hand and please don't hesitate to message me with any questions!
Hi! My name is Zion and I am currently a sophomore at Coppin State University. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I love working with children, and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children for more than 8+ years. Additionally, I am an assistant teacher at a daycare facility when I am on breaks from school. My responsibilities have included feeding, potty training/diaper changing, crafts, and tutoring. I am also open to cleaning, cooking, and running errands. To add on, I am comfortable with working with animals.
Bringing eight years of experience working with children aged newborn to 11, I'm eager to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for your little ones. My background includes a college degree, coursework in Early Child Development, and experience as a Certified Teacher. I'm also certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules. I will communicate with you daily, providing updates via text or phone and in person at pickup. Motivated by my positive experiences babysitting and a desire to support families, I'm happy to help with cooking and meal preparation. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my passion for childcare to your family and create a fun and safe space for your children to grow and learn.
I’m the second oldest of six kids, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I naturally take on a leadership role and often help my younger siblings whether that’s preparing meals, helping with homework, keeping them on schedule, or making sure they’re ok. I also help care for my great grandmother from time to time, helping with light chores and meals. Being part of a big family has taught me patience, responsibility and how to stay calm in busy situations. I’m dependable, nurturing and enjoy helping others feel safe and cared for.
