I am the proud mom of two children (one 28, and one 9). My son is with me 50% of the time, and my daughter is off doing her own thing. I miss the times when they were infants/toddlers, and because of that, this seemed like a great solution to fulfill the desire to still spend time with little ones as well as fill the void when my son isn’t home. I love to do crafts, play outside, and go on adventures (this was my son’s term for when we took trips to the zoo, beach for a day, went on a hike, etc.) I am a veteran of the USAF where I served for 5 years as a Russian linguist. I am bilingual in Russian and English, and have enjoyed teaching my son and daughter’s friends the language over the years. I am extremely patient, and have worked with children that have behavioral issues, and can deal with separation anxiety when their parents leave while the child adjusts to me. Lastly, I am incredibly respectful of parent’s rules, routines and structure. I don’t have the attitude that just because I raised and am in the process of raising my children, that “my way” is best. It also helps that I had a “helpful” (read meddling) mother in law who liked to “impart” her wisdom and knowledge for me to apply to my parenting skills. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile- I hope to hear from you soon! Best, Melissa

Hello! My name is Georgia! I have been baby sitting for 3 years now! I have been working with kids from the ages of 3-12 for about 4 years now as a gymnastics coach.

I have a strong background in caregiving, supported by both my education and hands-on experience. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which has given me a deep understanding of emotional development, communication, and how to support individuals with patience and empathy. In terms of experience, I have worked with children in both structured and informal settings, helping with daily routines, play, and emotional support. I’m comfortable managing different age groups and understand the importance of creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. I also have experience assisting with household tasks such as meal preparation, light cleaning, and organization, which helps keep things running smoothly for families. My personality is one of my biggest strengths as a caregiver. I am patient, dependable, attentive, and compassionate. I take the time to understand each person’s unique needs and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m also very responsible and communicative, so families can feel confident that their loved ones are in good hands. Additionally, I am comfortable around pets and can assist with basic pet care, including feeding, walking, and providing attention. Overall, I bring a well-rounded, caring, and reliable approach to caregiving that focuses on safety, trust, and genuine connection.

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.
