I love creating a safe, positive environment where everyone feels comfortable, valued, and even gets to smile a little more. Whether it’s keeping kids engaged, making sure seniors feel respected and cared for, or giving pets the attention they deserve, I’m all in.

Booked by 2 families in Rockville, MD

Hi! My name is Saira. I have been a babysitter since I was 15 years old, so taking care of children has always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for children from 3 months to 10 years old. I love creating fun and creative activities where children can learn, explore, and be themselves. I enjoy supporting them as they discover new things, encouraging their creativity and curiosity, while also helping them with their daily routines. Most importantly, I want every child to feel heard, valued, and confident as they grow. I am a patient, responsible, caring, and honest person. I am very organized and value clear and open communication. I also deeply respect each family’s parenting style and routines, and I am always happy to work together with parents to make sure their children feel safe, loved, and supported.

“Saira was on time and our 6-month-old and 3-year-old seemed immediately comfortable when she arrived and she jumped right into playing with them. She got our baby to sleep for the night and got our toddler ready for bed and read books with him before bed. At the end of the night our toddler went over to give her a big hug and told us he wanted to play with her again! ”

Katherine $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kate and I am college student looking to obtain more babysitting jobs while home during the summer and winter breaks! I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience with a wide variety of ages, the youngest being 5 months. I have had the pleasure of working with multiple families when their children were babies and have continued watching them as toddlers and elementary schoolers. I am a reliable babysitter who is always on time and committed to giving my full attention to the children to ensure they are safe and happy. I love keeping the children engaged through games, art activities, playing outside, imaginative play, storytelling, and reading. I am also happy to help with homework or learning based activities. Finally, I am responsible and will always follow instructions regarding activities, meal times, and bedtime routines. I can also assist with housework including cleaning up toys, preparing meals, and doing dishes. Feel free to ask any questions!
