Mom to 2 amazing kids in elementary school. Three years of experience as an au-pair and nanny before becoming a parent. Experience volunteering in elementary school and preschool as a teacher aide. I love being in nature, playing with kids outdoors, dancing to silly songs, reading, baking, and making art. I practice positive and peaceful parenting, focusing the connection between child and their caregiver. Serving children and families is my passion. As an immigrant and a mother who started raising her children without "the village", I'm deeply in touch with the unmet needs of families with young children in the US. I am passionate about supporting families with what they need to thrive and succeed- childcare, social-emotional supports for parents, and engaging the family with the community. I’m pursuing a graduate certificate in maternal and child health and planning a career change from research in public policy to child therapist.
Hi! My name is Maylani, and I am entering my junior year of college studying Public Health Science. I’m looking for a seasonal summer babysitting position and would love to support a family that needs help during the week and/or weekends. I have experience babysitting for families in my neighborhood after completing Safe Sitter training, and I have also worked as a gymnastics coach for school-age children since the summer of 2023, a role I continue to hold today. Coaching has helped me develop patience, creativity, leadership, and strong communication skills with children of all ages. A little more about me: I hope to become a podiatrist in the future, and as a pre-med student, I have been consistently shadowing at a pediatric urgent care clinic since June 2025, which has given me additional hands-on exposure to working with children in a clinical setting. I also had the opportunity to shadow at a pediatric hospital in Athens, Greece. In addition, I love science, work as a college biology tutor during the school year, and will be doing biology research this summer. If you’re looking for a responsible, energetic, and caring babysitter this summer, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
I am the eldest of 4 children and took care of my younger siblings who I have a 10 year age gap with. I have also been a babysitter for my cousins. I love kids and love spending time with them
I am Jalaycia, a twenty-eight year old woman living in Hyattsville, MD. I am a full-time program manager and occasional babysitter. I am an energetic and responsible individual that absolutely adores kids. I have worked directly with youth for more than seven years through mentoring, volunteer work, and babysitting. I have babysat children with special needs and have visited with elders for many years. I am creative and capable of fulfilling whatever requests are needed. I am currently only accepting occasional jobs on a case by case instance through the end of 2026.
I would love to spend time reading to your children, playing outside, exploring nature, and dancing in the kitchen. I have taught preschool for three years. I have extensive experience babysitting, and I have eight years of teaching experience at the middle and high school level. I speak fluent German, and I would be happy to immerse your children in German and support their language development. I have worked as a full-time nanny for four years, with ages ranging from newborn (twins) to seven. **Allergic to cats**
