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.

Teaja $16 per hour for 1 child

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.

Marianna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Marianna and I am 23 years old. I'm a reliable and easygoing sitter with 8 years of experience caring for children ages 1-13. I currently work full-time during the week (9-5), so I'm available for weeknight and weekend babysitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment--whether that's playing outside, doing crafts, board games, movie nights, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at once and am happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and pet care as needed. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving for school pickups, activities, errands, etc. Families describe me as patient, dependable, calm, and approachable, and I always try to make both parents and kids feel comfortable. I'm happy to provide references upon request and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can!
