Hi Baltimore neighbors! My name is Astrid, and I'm a responsible and energetic careworker invested in providing fun and culturally informed care. I am adaptable to your unique family needs and want to create a fun and safe environment for your family. I'm a recent master of social work graduate and aspiring birthworker with experience caring for children, teens, and adults in a mental health capacity. I also have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children, older adults and pets. I was raised by my grandmother who ran a small at-home daycare which sparked my passion for supporting healthy family ecosystems. Nowadays, I'm an auntie to a toddler and a cat mom to 2 rambunctious kittens. I'm seeking part-time, one-time, and occasional work. Please message me with your questions and inquiries. Let's see if we'd be a good fit!
“Great initial phone interview! Very professional and well-spoken. She took the time to discuss my family's needs and answered all of my questions thoroughly. She asked great questions about the kids routine and shared her background. We discussed basic expectations, CPR, scheduling availability, and logistics, though we would want to do an in-person meeting before booking long-term. Communication was seamless and easy, felt completely comfortable right away. Very excited and looking forward to moving forward!”
Hi I'm Morgan! I'm 24 years old and just graduated from nursing school. I'll be studying this summer to take the licensure exam but I'm hoping to babysit while I do so. I come from a big family of seven and have always enjoyed being around kids. I worked in a child care center and a sitter in high school, and also volunteered for a year at Dell Children's Medical Center. I have babysat for families since I was 16 with their ages ranging from newborns to school-aged. I've decided to get into sitting again because of the flexibility it provides for my schedule, and I'm hoping I can be of service to yours as well.
Hi - I’m Riley and am currently working as a Network Engineer. I have degrees in psychology and computer networking. I love being a caregiver and did so full time before and during school. Most of my experience is caring for toddlers and children with special needs. My responsibilities have included cooking dinners, light cleaning, driving to doctor’s appointments and other activities. Previously worked in a pediatric inpatient hospital unit as direct care staff and supervisor before moving to IT. Pet sitting experience with giving medication and inhalers. Comfortable with both cats and dogs.
Hi Caregivers, Happy holidays and most importantly, Happy New Year! I am completing my teaching license from Moreland University. I hope all is well with you and your family. My name is Tony Denis. I have worked in education for about 10+ years. I worked with students from K-12 as a substitute teacher, ESL teacher, math and science teacher. I love pets, specifically dogs.
