Booked by 3 families in Lothian, MD

Hi! My name is Vicki. I’m currently a student at Walden University studying Social Work and an experienced nanny/babysitter based in Bowie, MD. I offer childcare, pet care, and light household services. A little about me: • I have 8+ years of childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks old through age 12. • I am CPR and First Aid trained. • I worked as a daycare teacher from 2[removed] and have been nannying professionally since 2019. • I’m 1 of 12 siblings, so being around children has always been a huge part of my life and something I genuinely enjoy. • I have experience with infants, toddlers, multiples, school-aged children, and managing daily routines. • In addition to childcare, I can assist with driving children, light cleaning, organizing, pet care, grocery shopping/errands, and meal prep. I’m available for babysitting during the week, evenings, weekends, date nights, and overnights. I’m also open to occasional and last-minute care when my schedule allows. I have reliable transportation and references available upon request. I’d love to connect with families looking for a dependable, experienced, and caring nanny or babysitter!

“Vee was great. Our first time with her and the kids loved her. She was on time, and really connected with the kids and got comfortable right away. Kids asked us if she could come back already. Will definitely seek her services again!”

Hi, my name is Amaya! I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist currently working with children in the school setting. During the summer, I have additional availability and would love the opportunity to support families who need dependable childcare. Working with children is truly my passion. In addition to my professional experience as an SLP, I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters and many younger cousins as I am the first born grandchild on both parents sides. My father also owns a daycare, where I gained valuable hands-on experience working with children of various ages. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to connect with kids in a fun and supportive way. I am reliable, flexible, and happy to help with whatever your family needs-whether that's engaging in play, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, bedtime routines, transportation, or creating enriching activities. My background in child development and communication allows me to support children of all abilities while creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I would love the opportunity to build lasting relationships with families, not just for the summer but in the future as well. Thank you for considering me, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Amaya was on time, communicative, flexible and the kids were happy and well upon our return. Will invite her back. ”

Jazmin $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Lothian, MD

I’m an RBT with 3 years of experience working with children with ASD, where I've developed a strong foundation in patience, empathy, and creating supportive environments. I love the field so much I am actively pursuing a Masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In addition to my therapeutic work, I've coached kids ages 3-15 in T-ball, baseball, softball, and soccer, and I played softball myself for 13 years, which has taught me teamwork, discipline, and how to motivate others. I'm CPR certified, and as a proud pet owner of three dogs, I’m experienced in caring for animals as well. I’m passionate about working with kids, whether it’s providing therapy, coaching, or simply making sure they feel safe, engaged, and happy. My compassionate, patient, and reliable nature allows me to build trust with families and create positive experiences for every child I work with.
