"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."

Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Greenbelt, MD
Hi, my name is Olivia. I am currently in nursing school. I am offering baby sitting care and some household services. I do have my CNA license and I have grown up taking care of my 5 nieces and nephews which included bathing, cooking and just keeping them company. Personality-wise I would say I’m very caring, very responsible, trustworthy, I can be quiet sometimes/shy but I do open up if a safe environment is provided and I am loving.

Nancy $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Greenbelt, MD
Hello, I am Nancy. I am currently student at montgomery college. I’ve always loved being around kids—it’s something that comes naturally to me. With many nephews and nieces, I’ve spent years helping take care of them, and it’s given me so much joy and experience. Whether it’s playing games, telling stories, or just making them laugh, I love creating a space where kids feel happy and cared for. What I enjoy most is how unique every child is. They each have their own personality, and it’s so rewarding to connect with them and see them grow. Taking care of kids has taught me to be patient, creative, and understanding, which are qualities I bring to every family I work with. For me, childcare isn’t just a responsibility—it’s something I’m passionate about and genuinely enjoy doing.

I look forward to working with your family!
