$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Leonardtown, MD

Hi! I’m Kelsey — an experienced nanny and infant teacher with a strong background in early childhood care. I’ve worked as a Head Start teacher, infant room teacher, and private nanny, caring for children from newborn through preschool age. I’m especially comfortable with infants and toddlers, including feeding breast milk, supporting developmental milestones, managing routines, and handling illness or challenging behaviors calmly and safely. I’m organized, reliable, and communicative, and I believe in keeping parents informed about their child’s day and development. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, attending library programs, and creating a nurturing environment where children can grow and feel secure. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping and family routines as well. I look forward to supporting your family!

Great communication and very accommodating. Would definitely book again!

Booked by 1 family in Leonardtown, MD

It’s always a great feeling when you have someone dependable for quality care. Look no further! My name is Alexandra and I’ve been working with children infant to school age for more than 14 plus years. I gained my first experience working aside my grandmother as an elementary teacher, until she was promoted to principal. After retiring she decided to continue her love for children when she opened her own licensed preschool. At that time I was very young but always said when I grew up I wanted become a teacher. That dream became reality! Today I have not only stuck with early childhood education but now an assistant director at a preschool where I can continue to utilize my creativity through education. I’m loving, caring, honest, fun and enjoy daily making a difference in our little lives life.

Amanda Edgewater
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Leonardtown, MD

Hi there! I’m Amanda; a longtime caregiver, former au-pair/nanny, and a single mom of two wonderful kids. Alongside my main work as a consultant, I also serve as a substitute teacher for AACPS, and help coach local kids sports, so I’m used to adapting quickly and connecting with children of all personalities and ages. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility to help local families with babysitting, after-school care, or date nights. Whether it’s keeping little ones engaged with activities, helping with homework, or making sure evenings run smoothly, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable. I'm an energetic, dependable, patient, and easy going Australian, and genuinely enjoy being with kids. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household tasks or pet care when needed. Available for flexible bookings in Edgewater, Annapolis, and nearby areas; open to evening or occasional weekend jobs when my schedule allows.

Greetings, Since relocating to Washington, D. C., in 2021 to work as an au pair, my journey has been deeply enriched by my ongoing studies in Early Childhood Education. This dual experience has shaped not only my professional path but also my personal ethos. My self-concept is grounded in emotional intelligence, empathetic benevolence, nurturing tendencies, and an unwavering commitment to fostering a secure and non-judgmental atmosphere. Aligned with a deeply ingrained philosophy, I fervently advocate for guiding your children through life's journey with measured patience while enhancing their cognitive development. Academic History: - Associate's degree in Early Childhood Development -Honours degree in Music. -Master's certificate in TESOL/TEFL. -Certificate in teaching children with ADHD. -Montessori certified teacher. (AMI) -Certified by the American Heart Association adult and pediatric in CPR/AED and First Aid. Practical experience: -I have volunteered at various aftercare facilities and orphanages, focusing on 0-5-year-olds. -My friend suffered from postpartum depression, and therefore, I would assist from mornings to evenings after birth until he was 2. - I have experience in teaching in Montessori schools from ages 2-12 -Au pair for five years. -Primary school tutor for two years. -Sunday school teacher for kids 1-4 years old. Current job description: -Prep the boys for school. Drive them to and from school. -Drive them to Kumon, Karate and swimming -Organize play dates and take them on outings. -Take them to the doctor's office and haircuts -Light house cleaning -Cook. -Bathing and bedtime -Holiday assisting -24/7 care. - Montessori Education What makes me stand out: I have a passion and love for children while focusing on academics and their psychological well-being. I decided to remain in America as I will be teaching 6-12-year-olds at a Montessori in Bethesda, and therefore, practical experience is imperative. I will be working on my Master's Thesis paper in Early Childhood Development, and working with your kids will allow me to explore with them. I strongly believe that kids have human experiences, and I have to try to understand them and guide them while learning more about myself. Thank you for viewing my profile!
