Hello! My name is Amirah, and I'm currently a business honors student at the University of Maryland. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with children and have experience through family and friends. However, I recently graduated from a teacher prep program at the Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC (dual-enrollment high school), graduating with an associate's degree in teacher preparation. While studying there, I acquired more than 30 hours of observation and hands-on experience in real-world classrooms. I also have experience working with animals, as I have lived with both a dog and two cats before and am used to household chores such as light cleaning (dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and running errands.
Hi my name is Silvia and I am thrilled to be your family's new caregiver. I love working with infant, toddles and kids watching them grown up. I have been babysitting kids since I was 15 years old! I have three kids of my own that I love with all my heart and watching my youngest son going to school makes me realize that I miss taking care of some little feet 😊 I am very passionate about taking care of kids, patient, clean and organized.
I’m a caring and dependable mother of three adult children with a long history of working with little ones. Before raising my own family, I spent two years working in a daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. For many years, I also taught children at Sabbath School, which helped me understand how to keep young minds engaged, supported, and feeling safe. I bring a calm, nurturing presence into the home, and I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages. Parents often appreciate my patience, my consistency, and the way I help children feel understood and valued. What I Offer I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to creating a fun yet structured environment that helps your children thrive. I have a good car and a clean driving record, and I’m used to being on the road from my experience with DoorDash—so pickups, drop-offs, and quick errands are no problem if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone to help after school, during evenings, or for occasional support, I’m happy to step in and bring peace of mind to your family’s routine. Why I would be a good fit: • Mother of three grown children • Experience working in a daycare • Many years teaching children during Sabbath School • Safe and reliable transportation • Professional, gentle, and attentive • Comfortable supporting household routines
Hi! I’m Kiley, a 31 year old professional who works on the Hill in operations.

Happy to chat more!

“Laura is incredible! Laura is always on time and extremely flexible. She took great care of my two sons. She is kind and caring, while also helping to help my oldest (Timmy) with school! I would book her again anytime. Can’t’ wait for another night out with my husband!”
