$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Owings, MD

Hi, I'm Naomi! I recently graduated from Lafayette College and have moved back home for my gap year while I prepare for graduate school. I have 7 years of professional experience working with children and would love the chance to support your family. As the oldest sibling in my family, caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I first discovered my love for childcare while helping care for my two younger sisters, who are my world. Over the years, I've continued babysitting and tutoring children of different ages, from toddlers to elementary schoolers, in both home and school settings. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids -- whether that’s helping with homework, doing crafts, going to the park, playing games, or simply creating a safe and fun environment for them. I also have a car and am happy to help with transportation, appointments, pick-ups/drop-offs, errands, or activities if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover! I have five dogs myself and have experience pet sitting and cat sitting for friends, so I’d be more than happy to help care for pets as well. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see if I’d be a good fit for your needs!

“Naomi is wonderful with our three-year-old son. So engaging, patient, and calm, even through some truly epic toddler tantrums! She has a natural, reassuring demeanor with children and is always ready to jump in to help. Naomi's also dependable and prompt, which we really appreciate. We feel very comfortable having her care for our son and would absolutely recommend her to other families.”

Arailym $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi. My name is Arailym and I babysit. I am available every weekday after 4 except for Tuesdays when I am available at 3:15/3:30 and all day on weekends. I am available during the evenings and am currently able to watch any age but am more experienced in infants and toddlers. I have taken courses and am looking at renewing my lifeguarding certification as I am a counselor at a camp during the summer. I am very energetic and love kids, hoping to pursue a career in education when I graduate high school. I am very flexible and am comfortable caring for many kids. The most I have cared for at once was four of five but am sure I can handle more if needed. I am able to adapt and accommodate. I do not have my own car. Looking forward to working with you all! I am 18 and so excited to meet you and your child!

Hi Am Nathalie. I am an Older sister of three sisters and the first child to my parents. I usually take care of my siblings like every siblings should. I also usually take care of my nieces and nephews from my older cousin's when they decide to crash at our place. I recently turned 18 by the way. I am friendly and pretty quiet as I love listening to the kids play and talk. I also love playing with them and well since I've practically changed a lot of nappies so nothing is really new to me. I'll be more than ready to adapt and learn any given rule you I ought to know inorder to watch your cuties😊.
