Hi everyone! I speak English and Spanish. I am a person that I characterize for my punctuality and kindness. I Have been a nanny since I was 17 years old. I love spending time with children, they grow so fast and learn very quickly. I try to help them as much as I can and help them learn new things and that they have confidence in themselves. I enjoy spending time with them. I have my first aid certificate and certificate of training school for the care of children. I like to do many activities with the children at home or outside if the weather permits. I know your children will have a lot of fun and they will learn from me as well as I from them.
“Johana was great! My kids are already asking for her to come back. She was punctual, professional, kind, and kept us updated throughout the evening. 100% recommend.”

Hello! My name is Natalie. I started babysitting when I was in middle school and volunteered in my church to watch children. In high school, I took child growth and development courses and volunteered in schools. I worked at daycares, home childcare, and a private school. I have worked with ages from newborn to 12 years of age. I am CPR certified, CDA certified, college courses and additional training in breastfeeding, ADA, etc. . I’m currently pursuing my degree and my dream is to start a nonprofit organization that will help families and children across the world and open a postpartum center for women in need. I am currently an early childhood educator and I enjoy working with all ages. I love to read and write durning my free time. I also like to try new foods and go to new places. I am a mother to a joyful 4 year old and love to take him on adventures. My passion is teaching children and watching them grow and they inspire me everyday.
“Natalie was great. Punctual and friendly. She had good communication with my son and no issues while I was away. Much appreciated. ”
I am here to fill in the gaps, occasionally acting as a mother’s helper, and fully vaccinated! 20 + years of experience as a nanny/caregiver, who is BLS/CPR Certified with additional certifications to serve in healthcare. With that being said, I am superb at multitasking with kids of all ages, including pre-mature, middle school age, and teenagers in addition to having more than one child in my care. Major help is provided with meal preps, for example, breakfast, lunch, and dinner including assistance with homework assignments, projects, if necessary. Parents, my job is to make your daily plus and I am open to driving kids to and from activities in family cars. I am very passionate about my job, which leads to me being very reliable, loyal, humble, dedicated, trustworthy which initially helpful to have honest open communication with both parents. I love to teach, discipline, and interact with the kids at all times, with lots of patience. Priorities are to be discussed with parents, to make sure that I meet each and everyone needs at all given times, for example: making sure the kids environment are always safe, favorite activities, bed routines, allergy reaction, and if any medication is needed to be administered at my present time...Parents, if you are looking for a fun, respectable, responsible, reliable, humble trustworthy caregiver! Remember, I am here for you! Why?? To make your life routine with childcare a bit more relaxing and stress-free!
“Valentia is fantastic! 1st time sitting for us and she's coming back tomorrow!! ”
I have many years of nanny/babysitting experience. I enjoy working with children of all ages and helping them learn and improve their knowledge, skills, and self-esteem. I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from UMD but decided to make a career change a few years ago to contribute to something that I am passionate about.
“Rose was an excellent babysitter and completely put me at ease so that I could attend an urgent evening work meeting. She was in communication with me via text before and during the job. She kept my 8 year old son engaged and having a wonderful time making paper monsters from a book that Rose brought with her. She made dinner for my son and his friend and cleaned and tidied areas of the apartment. She also helped organize areas of my apartment and set up my TV, DVD player, and computer monitor, all of which was a huge help. I highly recommend Rose!”
