Hi! My name is Nina, and I’m a responsible and caring babysitter with a 90-hour childcare certification and hands-on experience from my stepmom’s in-home daycare and working at my high school’s preschool. As a nursing student, I’m passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. I love engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, as well as helping with homework, bedtime routines, and light meal prep. My goal is to make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable and happy while I’m around. I’d love to help out! Feel free to reach out with any questions.
“She was on time. My child really connected with her and was sad to see her go.”
Hi! My name is Carolina, and I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter with over 10 years of childcare experience supporting children and families. I’m a master’s-level therapist currently awaiting graduate licensure, and I bring a calm, thoughtful, and nurturing approach to childcare. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. I’m skilled in creating structured routines, supporting children’s emotional needs, and engaging them in fun, age-appropriate activities. I value open and respectful communication with parents and strive to create a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child in my care. 🎓 Education: Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling ❤️ Certifications: CPR & First Aid certified I’m available for part-time, temporary, or short-term care and am willing to travel up to 15 miles within Baltimore County and nearby areas of Howard County. References are available upon request. I look forward to connecting with your family!
Hi, I’m Noor☺️! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic graduate community college student with experience caring for children from infants to school age. I used to work part-time at a daycare for 5+ years and also babysit for several families, giving me hands-on experience with routines, playtime, meals, naps, and creating a safe, positive environment for kids of all ages. I love keeping children engaged through crafts, pretend play, outdoor walks, playground trips, and fun activities that encourage creativity and learning. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with dog sitting and dog walking, so I’m very comfortable around pets! My goal is always to make children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I truly enjoy building strong connections with both kids and families, and I’m excited to help however I can :)
“Noor has been absolutely incredible. She showed such comforting level of care for our high energy toddler. She is always incredibly sweet, kind, and emotionally intelligent towards our daughter and even managed to create an immediate comfort with our other child who is severely disabled and limited in his ability to interact. Our family could not recommend Noor enough, she will always be welcomed in our home.”
Hi - I’m Riley and am currently working as a Network Engineer. I have degrees in psychology and computer networking. I love being a caregiver and did so full time before and during school. Most of my experience is caring for toddlers and children with special needs. My responsibilities have included cooking dinners, light cleaning, driving to doctor’s appointments and other activities. Previously worked in a pediatric inpatient hospital unit as direct care staff and supervisor before moving to IT. Pet sitting experience with giving medication and inhalers. Comfortable with both cats and dogs.
I am originally an Early Childhood Educator by profession. I have been working with young children since 2011. I have experience also in working and helping older kids as well as seniors. I am also a mother and always try to treat children the way I would want my children to be treated. I enjoy being around kids and enjoy being a help for others that may need it.
