Hi Families! I’m Daisia and my background in Child Development & Family Studies, paired with my hands-on experience with children of all ages-from infants to adolescents-has shaped a genuine love for what I do. I’ve worked with multiples, including twins, and truly enjoy creating a supportive, engaging environment for children to grow and thrive. It would be a pleasure to join your family and team.

Daisia was great! Prompt, communicative, caring, and easygoing. My 2yo daughter got along with her instantly.

Hi! My name is Keshaun and let me tell you a little bit about myself! I am a loving, kind, fun and patient person who enjoys watching children learn and grow! I am the mom to an awesome 24 year old daughter and in my spare time I love to spend time with family, read and cook! I have up to date Cpr/first aid, fully vaccinated as well. I have a background in Child Development, spent 16 years teaching preschool, caring for children between the ages of 3 months-12 years and the last 13 years working as a professional nanny! When nannying/babysitting I enjoy doing arts and crafts, tummy time, playing outside, building with blocks/legos, singing songs, reading books, blowing bubbles and giving plenty of TLC! Thanks for visiting my profile and I hope you pick me to care for your child!

Hi, I’m Lauren-Nicole 😊👋🏽 Engaging, easygoing sitter with 8+ years of childcare experience through teaching, summer camps, and caregiving! Current high school educator In my free time I enjoy working out (gym/sports), music (singing), practicing on duolingo (currently learning Spanish) and exploring new places. I live in the DC area with my fur baby. I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor, so I’m comfy with energetic children, and I have the creativity to keep them engaged! This role was pretty active so I am up for any high energy activities (sports, obstacle courses, swimming, outdoor activities, etc.), in addition to low energy, quiet time activities (reading, studying, quiet games). Having worked as a preschool teaching assistant and gym facility caregiver, I’ve facilitated academic activities, games, nap time and lunch/snack times for large groups of children. I currently teach and tutor students, so I’m comfy offering homework help. I’ve worked with children between the ages of 1 and 17 years old (Minimal infant care experience). I look forward to working with your family! :) Experience: HS teaching, nannying, tutoring, preschool assistant, summer camp counselor, stay and play caregiver, youth mentor Past childcare employers: MD public schools, SitterCity, YMCA, University of Maryland-Baltimore County, TIC camp, local Maryland Church

Great!
