"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Meghan $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Glenwood, MD
Hi! I’m a second grade teacher in the MCPS district with a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 12 years as a barber, where I built strong connections with kids and families. I’ve also been babysitting since my early teenage years, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I’m happy to help with homework, plan creative activities, go on nature walks, drive to and from extracurriculars, assist with housekeeping, and, of course, be a little silly and have fun! I am seeking summer employment, but until then, I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I’m also open to last-minute care when you need an extra hand.

Hi, I’m Dinusha. I’m offering child care and senior care. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborn baby, infant, toddler and kids since 2019. My responsibilities have feeding, reading books, playing. I have been caring my own grandma, she is dementia patient I take care of her since 2015. And I’m comfortable with senior care also. I can cook drive to the appointments and go to grocery shopping with them and spending time with them (reading, singing, dancing) Thank you

Hi, I’m Diana! I’m a full-time college student that is home for the summer. I have experience working with elementary-aged kids through tutoring and after-school care, and I’ve also babysat my younger siblings and cousins.
