Hello! My name is Amirah, and I'm currently a business honors student at the University of Maryland. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with children and have experience through family and friends. However, I recently graduated from a teacher prep program at the Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC (dual-enrollment high school), graduating with an associate's degree in teacher preparation. While studying there, I acquired more than 30 hours of observation and hands-on experience in real-world classrooms. I also have experience working with animals, as I have lived with both a dog and two cats before and am used to household chores such as light cleaning (dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and running errands.
Hi there! My name is Maimounat, but please feel free to call me Jackie! I am proudly graduated from the Teacher Academy of Maryland, a rigorous high school program that equipped me with real classroom experience, lesson planning skills, and a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. Beyond my credentials, I bring warmth, patience, and a natural ability to connect with children of all ages — creating a fun, structured, and loving environment wherever I go. I am responsible, dependable, and deeply compassionate, always going above and beyond to make sure both children and families feel supported. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with a range of household services including light housekeeping, meal preparation for children, homework help, laundry, tidying up common areas, and helping maintain a smooth and organized home while parents are away. Whether you're looking for after-school care, full-time support, or a helping hand around the house, I am ready to show up with a smile and give your family my very best!
Hi! I'm Olivia. I'm offering child care, senior care, and household help. Being an older sister, I've naturally taken on a caretaking role. Growing up, my sister and I played "school," where I was always the teacher. It was a little glimpse into how much I love helping kids learn and grow. At 16, I became a summer camp counselor for kids ages 6-13, and through college I babysat two children for a family friend. I've also volunteered in a kindergarten classroom teaching an "Hour of Code." My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, activities, and appointments, plus cooking meals and snacks. What I love most is the whimsy, curiosity, and joy of children. I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of warmth to every family. During college, I also worked in a nursing home, where I helped direct activities and built warm connections with the seniors. I'm comfortable with senior care and happy to cook or drive to appointments. I truly value being someone parents can trust and families feel safe with.

Hi Am Nathalie. I am an Older sister of three sisters and the first child to my parents. I usually take care of my siblings like every siblings should. I also usually take care of my nieces and nephews from my older cousin's when they decide to crash at our place. I recently turned 18 by the way. I am friendly and pretty quiet as I love listening to the kids play and talk. I also love playing with them and well since I've practically changed a lot of nappies so nothing is really new to me. I'll be more than ready to adapt and learn any given rule you I ought to know inorder to watch your cuties😊.
