Sara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello - My name is Sara. I am a senior at Goucher College and I am offering part-time child care. I have been working in childcare for over 5 years with experience in private home, preschool, and school-age care. Having worked in schools, I am CPR and First Aide certified as well as having obtained a certification in 45-hour Childcare Growth and Development. I love babsitting and have worked with toddlers and kids since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities have included tutoring, making crafts, providing snack and pre made meals. I love working with pets especially dogs and cats. Unfortunetly, as much as I admire them I cannot work with reptiles or insects.

Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with children and youth since high school. I had the desire to work with children and youth as an adult however I haven’t had the chance to really balance that with school and work. Now that I am older and have more availability I want to pursue my passion with working with children and youth. I have a degree in family and humanities and I am a veteran. Over the years I’ve always wanted to pursue having a daycare center or a family based childcare. I still have that passion so I am looking to build a trusted and useful community for those who need my services. I am looking to provide support to families who do not work the traditional 9 to 5 working hours. My services is available for those who work non-traditional hours. The evening/overnight shift and those who work various changing work schedules. I received my experience with working with children and youth through internships, community engagements, and helping family and friend when they need a babysitter. I am willing to experience more hands on opportunities with you and your family. I believe that my passion for working with children of all ages will get me the experience I need to run a successful business. Please feel free to contact me. Excited to work with you.

Jannine $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! 😊 My name is Jannine and I have over 10 years of experience helping families with children of varying ages, from infants to older children, along with just general experience from being the oldest in my family. I come from a healthcare and research background, with experience working in the Emergency Department as a scribe and even vaccinating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm working towards my goal of attending medical school, and babysitting is a wonderful opportunity to continue supporting children and families while saving for this next chapter. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs from having worked as a behavioral therapist for kids with Autism. I have also looked after a child with epilepsy with a past family that I babysat for during evenings and weekends. Lastly, I have experience with pets as I am a Wag! petsitter and dogwalker in my free time. I am happy to take care of any children, furry or human 😉 I'm excited to connect with families looking for a reliable sitter who will treat their little ones with kindness and care! I look forward to meeting you! 💛

Ashley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a scientist by day and babysitter by night! Alongside my passion for science is my love for children. Growing up with many younger siblings (as the eldest), I’ve had the privilege of helping care for them from a young age. I’ve also tutored young children (ages 3+) at Kumon here in Baltimore, where I gained experience with creative play and learning. Additionally, I have a master’s degree in biology and come from parents who have a longstanding career in early childhood education. I’m pediatric CPR and First-Aid certified, reliable, patient, compassionate, and most of all filled to the brim with positive energy. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, learning, homework assistance, or additional household daily tasks, I’m here to make a positive difference and help make being a parent a teeny bit easier. Spending time with children brings me positive energy, and it’s the perfect balance to my life as a scientist. I look forward to getting to know you and caring for your little ones.
