Booked by 3 families in Owings, 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!”

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mincie. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’ve worked in a licensed daycare, provided one-on-one tutoring, and served as a summer camp counselor, giving me strong skills in safety, engagement, and age-appropriate activities. Parents describe me as patient, dependable, and calm, even in busy or high-energy situations. I love creating fun, screen-free activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping routines consistent. I always prioritize communication and safety, and I treat every child with kindness and respect. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute care. I would love to support your family — please feel free to reach out with any questions!

“I highly recommend Mincie for any family looking for someone dependable and professional. She is responsible, punctual, and communicates clearly, which made it easy to trust her with our child. She has a calm, patient approach and handled daily routines, meals, and activities with confidence. She was attentive, safety-focused, and genuinely engaged with our child at all times. We always felt comfortable knowing our child was in capable hands, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other families.”
