My name is Kyra! I'm 22 years old and have lived in Maryland my whole life. I have been a full time nanny to children ages 3 months - 15 years for 5 years. I have handled a plethora of special situations including severe allergies, diabetes, G-Tube feedings , physical disabilities as well as ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. Transportation will be a no issue as I own my vehicle and have maintained a clean driving record for close to 6 years. In addition to this I am CPR, first aid and AED resuscitation certified. Over 2 years of overnight nannying experience. I love music, reading and anything colorful so I incorporate that into my work whenever I can ! I'm very comfortable with animals and have been living in a multiple pet household for most of my life which has included cats, dogs and those of the rodent family; I want to ensure all of your "babies" are tended too . Hoping to find a long term commitment at least a year or more. Thank you !

Kyra I’d wonderful! Great with kids, responsible, on time.

Hi! My name is Mariam, and I work in a Pediatric Emergency Room, where providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care to children is my top priority. Through my experience in pediatrics, I’ve worked with children of all ages and learned how to stay calm, patient, and observant in all situations, giving parents peace of mind that their child is in good hands. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, and playtime. I also have a passion for cooking and am happy to help with meal prep or snacks as needed. Creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment is always my goal. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care services. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, primarily small breeds, and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I treat every child and pet with care, patience, and respect.

she’s so amazing & wonderful with my kids! has a very bubbly personality and always willing to help out when needed!
