Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I bring over five years of experience supporting families with children ranging from infants to school‑age. I’ve worked with families both regularly and on an as‑needed basis, adapting as their schedules and needs changed. I currently work in the school system with Pre‑K through 5th‑grade students, where I assist teachers with interventions and provide support to students with a wide range of academic, behavioral, and social‑emotional needs. This experience has strengthened my creativity and ability to connect with children at different developmental stages. When working with families, I love getting to know each child’s personality, routines, and interests. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as arts and crafts, painting, dancing, homework help, trips to the park or museums, library visits, and supporting bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable offering light potty‑training support when needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks—tidying up, running quick errands, house sitting, or pet sitting (I have a few pets of my own). I can also assist with simple meal prep or light cooking. My goal is always to make your day a little easier and ensure your child feels safe, supported, and cared for.
Hello - My name is Sara. I am a senior at Goucher College and I am offering part-time child care. I have been working in childcare for over 5 years with experience in private home, preschool, and school-age care. Having worked in schools, I am CPR and First Aide certified as well as having obtained a certification in 45-hour Childcare Growth and Development. I love babsitting and have worked with toddlers and kids since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities have included tutoring, making crafts, providing snack and pre made meals. I love working with pets especially dogs and cats. Unfortunetly, as much as I admire them I cannot work with reptiles or insects.
Hello! My name is Lachelle, and I have 6 years of experience as a prekindergarten teacher in Baltimore City Public Schools, as well as experience as a daycare teacher (infants, 1s & 2s), and a babysitter. I specialize in creating warm, structured, and developmentally supportive environments for young children. I’m skilled in early literacy, math, behavior management, and planning hands-on activities that keep children engaged and learning through play. I prioritize safety, communication, and building trusting relationships with families. Whether helping with routines, supporting milestones, or organizing fun and educational activities, I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each child’s needs.
Hello Families, My name is Zarida. I am a 19 year old woman who strives to make a positive impact on people’s lives. I have a high school diploma, drivers license, and a CPR & First Aid certification. I am always in the mood to learn something new! Please keep in mind that I am a full time college student so my availability is very limited.
I have been caring for children for over 40 years and it remains one of my passions. Ian a retired OB/Peds/school nurse currently nannying exclusively , I will work with you on encouraging development and socialization while adhering to your instructions. Have an asthmatic child? No worries as I am familiar with the treatment due to my daughter having it quite early . Any other health concerns? I am proficient with medication and treatments.
