Hi, My name is Marie and I am currently babysitting. I am offering child care. I have 3 children, with one in the spectrum. I worked in a child center with new born, infants, toddlers and toddlers. I also have experience working with special needs children age 4 to 15. I am a native French speaker and I love to teach and tutor children to learn and speak French while having fun.
“Marie was absolutely wonderful with our three-year-old. She is professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out to us is her experience with autism, she handled everything with patience, confidence, and care. From the moment she arrived, she connected quickly with our child and needed very little direction, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cares and takes her role seriously. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family, and we’ll definitely be hiring her again!” ”
Hi, My name is Madison and I am currently enrolled at Frederick Community College, pursuing a Nusring degree. I am offering childcare, household services, and pet care. I have always adored kids of all ages, especially the babies! I have been a camp counselor, and also worked in a preschool and kindergarten classroom for the last 3 years. My responsibilities included, creating crafts/activities, potty training, tutoring/teaching, etc. I am also great with any animals. I own 2 dogs and a cat, however, i’ve delt with lizards, frogs, snakes, and guinea pigs.
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!
Hi! My name is Cheyenne, and I’m a caring, reliable childcare provider with a strong background in early childhood education. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager, which gave me an early foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with children of different ages and personalities. Professionally, I started as a substitute teacher in a daycare setting, which allowed me to gain experience across multiple classrooms and age groups. From there, I was promoted to a Pre-K assistant teacher and later worked as a school-age teacher, where I continued building meaningful connections and supporting children’s learning and development. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s helping with early learning activities, homework, or just making sure your child has a great time, I bring patience, structure, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your children, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care you can feel confident in.
I am currently working as a part time care giver and helps take care of my grandchildren ages 2, 7 and 9 on my days off. I used to work as a teacher aide when I first arrived in the US, I decided to leave to help my daughter when she first gave birth, now her kids are older and I am looking for something meaningful to do on my free days.
