Ebony $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ebony! I am offering care for both children and pets. I'm a Native Washingtonian with much experience in childcare. Over the course of 19 years on and off, I have provided care for several families via an agency, and independently for a non-profit organization, events, friends, and family (as the cool auntie). I ran an afterschool program at a local high school during my AmeriCorps term, providing my students a safe environment for enrichment and growth. My late father worked as a teacher's aide at a DC middle school and would take me to work with him. Helping his students was a complex job and I was trusted with it! Having the chance to help children with special needs as a teen taught me how quality care could help a child thrive. That experienced sparked my interest in childcare. Children of all ages deserve safety and attentive care. I bring a positive attitude, creativity, kindness, nurturing, and patience to care I give others. My talents include making still-life drawings with oil pastels. Also, I love animals and have enjoyed pet sitting for friends here and there. Though I am allergic to cats, I adore them and will have my own Zyrtec ready to go for those biscuits. I am open to walking and playing with your animals, no matter the size. I spend my days working full time, volunteering, getting lost in a book, and studying.

Madeline 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Glenn Dale, MD

Hi, I'm Maddie! I'm a graduate student at UMD and I am currently offering child care services. I love working with and empowering kids and have previously had roles as a summer science camp teacher and summer library staff where I primarily have cared for school-aged children. I love doing crafts, reading, and playing games with kids and I occasionally tutor.

“Maddie is absolutely wonderful! It was her first time meeting my son, who’s on the spectrum, and they connected right away. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with his care. Maddie even handled driving him to and from his ABA therapy, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found her and look forward to having her help again on future dates.”
