I am a nurse practitioner (current practice owner) who never had children of my own and have always wanted them. I have medical experience beginning at Children’s Hospital in DC on their behavioural psychiatry unit, my nursing internship was a Cambridge hospital on the pediatric behaviour program. After becoming an NP in 2005, I spent several summers as a camp nurse at the Barrie School in Silver Spring, MD. I have also worked with their 4 year olds for aftercare and substituted in the baby room when needed. My other experience includes being the lead NP at JHH on their Meyer 6 unit for 4 years and some time in the Anesthesia department. Working with children has been my most fulfilling work. My extensive care of children in various situations should make any parent feel confident in choosing me as a caregiver.
“Very professional, punctual, thoughtful, great communication. Will hire again!”
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 everyone! Mya name is Mia and I am 22 years old. I am in nursing school and I am a certified nursing assistant. I am offering child care and dog sitting/ walking. I have always babysat growing up. The ages always varied from 6 months old to 12 years of age. I love children and babies and I am CPR certified as well. I also dog sit and I love to walk so me and your fur babies can get lots of exercise (if that’s something the dog would like). I have no issues with bigger dogs or any breeds. I have 3 dogs at home that I help take care of, so I am not a stranger to multiple pets either. I am very responsible and will make sure things go as smoothly as possible:)
Hi! Family I’m a caring, dependable caregiver with hands-on experience supporting children of all ages in a safe, nurturing, family-style environment. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines, helping with meals, playtime, and light household tasks. I also have experience with pets and providing respectful care for seniors. I treat every family I work with like my own and always prioritize trust, communication, and comfort.
I have been caring for children for over 40 years and it remains one of my passions. Ian a retired OB/Peds/school nurse currently nannying exclusively , I will work with you on encouraging development and socialization while adhering to your instructions. Have an asthmatic child? No worries as I am familiar with the treatment due to my daughter having it quite early . Any other health concerns? I am proficient with medication and treatments. I will play with the chili, read loads of stories and generally keep them safe and hopefully content until you return . Lease contact me soon so that we can meet. Elena
