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.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I bring over five years of experience supporting families with children ranging from infants to school‑age. I’ve worked with families both regularly and on an as‑needed basis, adapting as their schedules and needs changed. I currently work in the school system with Pre‑K through 5th‑grade students, where I assist teachers with interventions and provide support to students with a wide range of academic, behavioral, and social‑emotional needs. This experience has strengthened my creativity and ability to connect with children at different developmental stages. When working with families, I love getting to know each child’s personality, routines, and interests. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as arts and crafts, painting, dancing, homework help, trips to the park or museums, library visits, and supporting bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable offering light potty‑training support when needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks—tidying up, running quick errands, house sitting, or pet sitting (I have a few pets of my own). I can also assist with simple meal prep or light cooking. My goal is always to make your day a little easier and ensure your child feels safe, supported, and cared for.
Hi my name is Jules! I currently provide behavioral therapy to children with ADS, which I’ve been doing for the past three years! I have provided dog walking and sitting for 2 years with wag previously. I believe in connecting with you and your family and attempting to make your life just a little bit easier.
Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a scientist by day and babysitter by night! Alongside my passion for science is my love for children. Growing up with many younger siblings (as the eldest), I’ve had the privilege of helping care for them from a young age. I’ve also tutored young children (ages 3+) at Kumon here in Baltimore, where I gained experience with creative play and learning. Additionally, I have a master’s degree in biology and come from parents who have a longstanding career in early childhood education. I’m pediatric CPR and First-Aid certified, reliable, patient, compassionate, and most of all filled to the brim with positive energy. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, learning, homework assistance, or additional household daily tasks, I’m here to make a positive difference and help make being a parent a teeny bit easier. Spending time with children brings me positive energy, and it’s the perfect balance to my life as a scientist. I look forward to getting to know you and caring for your little ones.
Hi - my name is Phoenix and I’m a current Junior at UMBC studying biology. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been sitting since 14 years old. I currently volunteer at MWPH in the school age division, so I’m comfortable looking after children who may need extra attention. I have access to a car and tutoring experience. I work as a house/pet sitter as well and have experience with both cats (newborn to adult), and dogs (over one year). I also work as a household assistant and can run errands and clean.
