Nana $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nana, and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman at Bowie State University majoring in Nursing. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I have three younger siblings, and I've been helping raise and babysit them since they were born. Being responsible for them taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for children of different ages. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in nursing and made me realize how much I enjoy helping families. I'm experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I'm also happy to prepare simple meals, help with bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping play areas clean and organized. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I understand the importance of creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I'm excited to help families by providing reliable childcare while building meaningful relationships with both parents and their children.

Reve $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm delighted to share more about my background and why I am dedicated to providing excellent care for your family. My experience spans various age groups and needs, built on a foundation of professional involvement and personal responsibility. • Toddler Care: I am actively involved in my church’s family ministry, where I regularly watch and engage with toddlers during service. This hands-on, group setting has sharpened my skills in managing routines, addressing immediate needs, and facilitating positive, safe play. • Individual Babysitting: I have also built experience by caring for the children of my friends, which has given me insight into respecting individual family routines and providing customized care in a home environment. I'm comfortable with various age ranges, from infants to school-aged children. • Pets: I am a loving pet owner myself and am comfortable caring for dogs (walking, feeding) ensuring their needs and routines are met.
