Booked by 1 family in Nottingham, MD

I am a nurse practitioner (current practice owner) who never had children of my own and have always wanted them. I have medical experience beginning at Children’s Hospital in DC on their behavioural psychiatry unit, my nursing internship was a Cambridge hospital on the pediatric behaviour program. After becoming an NP in 2005, I spent several summers as a camp nurse at the Barrie School in Silver Spring, MD. I have also worked with their 4 year olds for aftercare and substituted in the baby room when needed. My other experience includes being the lead NP at JHH on their Meyer 6 unit for 4 years and some time in the Anesthesia department. Working with children has been my most fulfilling work. My extensive care of children in various situations should make any parent feel confident in choosing me as a caregiver.

Very professional, punctual, thoughtful, great communication. Will hire again!

Marianna Towson
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Marianna and I am 23 years old. I'm a reliable and easygoing sitter with 8 years of experience caring for children ages 1-13. I currently work full-time during the week (9-5), so I'm available for weeknight and weekend babysitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment--whether that's playing outside, doing crafts, board games, movie nights, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at once and am happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and pet care as needed. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving for school pickups, activities, errands, etc. Families describe me as patient, dependable, calm, and approachable, and I always try to make both parents and kids feel comfortable. I'm happy to provide references upon request and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can!

I have been a caregiver for all of my adult life. I am a physical therapist in a hospital for over 20 years. I work in the NICU, with infants and toddlers as outpatients, and with the inpatient geriatric population. Additionally, I am of mom of two. I have an 18 year old daughter and a 12 year old son. We also had an amazing dog named Henry for nearly 14 years, so I am comfortable with animals. I am good at adjusting to individual and family needs. I am looking to supplement my hospital job with something I enjoy and am comfortable doing.
