Hi Caregivers, Happy holidays and most importantly, Happy New Year! I am completing my teaching license from Moreland University. I hope all is well with you and your family. My name is Tony Denis. I have worked in education for about 10+ years. I worked with students from K-12 as a substitute teacher, ESL teacher, math and science teacher. I love pets, specifically dogs. I continue looking for new opportunities to work with young people. It informs my approach to teaching and developing safe spaces for young people to thrive.
I am an Early Childhood Educator with over twenty years of experience caring for and educating young children. I hold a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education with a minor concentration in Infants and Toddlers, as well as a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I am currently a classroom preschool teacher in Baltimore City. I have experience with infants and toddlers, including twins. In addition to teaching, I’ve also owned my own registered home day care, and nannied for multiple families. I believe children are competent and capable and learn best through play and hands on activities. I am a responsive caregiver with an extensive background in social emotional learning. I enjoy gardening, hiking, camping, crafts and reading in my spare time. I have two cats and feel comfortable with dogs and other small pets.
Hi! Family I’m a caring, dependable caregiver with hands-on experience supporting children of all ages in a safe, nurturing, family-style environment. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines, helping with meals, playtime, and light household tasks. I also have experience with pets and providing respectful care for seniors. I treat every family I work with like my own and always prioritize trust, communication, and comfort.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I bring over five years of experience supporting families with children ranging from infants to school‑age. I’ve worked with families both regularly and on an as‑needed basis, adapting as their schedules and needs changed. I currently work in the school system with Pre‑K through 5th‑grade students, where I assist teachers with interventions and provide support to students with a wide range of academic, behavioral, and social‑emotional needs. This experience has strengthened my creativity and ability to connect with children at different developmental stages. When working with families, I love getting to know each child’s personality, routines, and interests. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as arts and crafts, painting, dancing, homework help, trips to the park or museums, library visits, and supporting bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable offering light potty‑training support when needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks—tidying up, running quick errands, house sitting, or pet sitting (I have a few pets of my own). I can also assist with simple meal prep or light cooking. My goal is always to make your day a little easier and ensure your child feels safe, supported, and cared for.
Hi my name is Jules! I currently provide behavioral therapy to children with ADS, which I’ve been doing for the past three years! I have provided dog walking and sitting for 2 years with wag previously. I believe in connecting with you and your family and attempting to make your life just a little bit easier.
