"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."

Hi! My name is Carol. I have more than 6 years of experience in and out the country, with children of all ages, since newborns to teenagers. I also worked in a preschool for almost 2 years before I moved to United States. I love taking care of kids and empathize with them! Keeping them safe is my priority and making them happy is my best job!!🤗
“Carol is awesome! She has been working for our family four days a week for more than 6 months. She is incredibly reliable and responsible; she is an excellent driver, and she drives my kids to their after-school activities around Bethesda. She always arrives on time and has never missed a day. She is thoughtful and diligent about her work for our family. She is responsible for our two adolescent boys after school, she prepares meals for the kids, helps us manage the household, and she is responsive to any tasks we need her help with. She has been a tremendous resource to our family and I whole-heartedly recommend her.”

Hi, my name is Andrea and I have experience working with children from newborn on up, in a variety of settings. I've worked as a babysitter over the years, as an after school teacher for 2nd-3rd graders, been a middle school cheer coach, and I've also worked as a sitter working at large events caring for children from newborn-middle school age. I am warm, compassionate, selfless and have a very big heart- especially for children. I enjoy a variety of activities with children and always do my best to omit or limit screen time so we can interact and engage instead.
“Andrea has been taking care of our kids for years, and has become like another member of our family. The kids love playing with her. She is so sweet and kind with our children, and appropriately firm when necessary. And when she cooks for the kids, coming home to a tidied kitchen is a bonus. Can't recommend her enough.”

Hello! My name is Marianella. I’ve had several years of babysitting and nannying experience working with children of all ages newborn, infant, toddlers, and elementary age. I have two beautiful terrific kids 🥰. In addition, I’m from Colombia - South America so, I would like to share my culture with you. My primary hobbies of nannying include crafts or creative activities! I’m a very happy person and really enjoy working with kids, so if you’re looking for someone high energy, I’ve definitely got it! What I love most about babysitting is being a support for the family.

I love kids of all ages & have a lot of patience. I’ve been a nanny, babysitter, & gymnastics teacher. I’m currently in nursing school specifically wanting to be a pediatric nurse. I have a flexible schedule, drive my own car, CPR certified, & overall know how to bring a smile to a kid.
Amanda $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Amanda! I am an empty nesting Mom of four and Gigi of two. I have three boys and a girl. Two of my children are twins. I am a former veterinary care technician and have been caring for beloved furry family members exclusively for seven years. I provide in-your-home care for all pets. Services are hourly, daily, and weekly. I aim to become another cherished family member to your fur baby. I have vast experience with rescued and elderly animals. I appreciate the challenges that come with anxious or “special needs” animals. I find that animals trust me and feel safe with me. I enjoy doing the extra things during the day that would help simplify your life. If dishes need washed, or laundry needs folded, I am happy to include this in my visit. My goal is to make your life easier! I also enjoy running errands for clients. Errands could include dropping off or picking up children, getting groceries, or taking your pet to their vet appointments. I have lived in Walkersville and Frederick County for my entire life. I love it here and look forward to helping you!
