Nina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi mom/dad! A little about me: I've been a caretaker for my younger brother for his whole life pretty much haha along with extended family members' children. I have experience taking care of children aged 0-13 for over. As for pets, I owned a few German shepherds growing up and loved and cared for them deeply, also fostered a bichon frise for a few months in 2022 and it was some of the best few months of my life! Adore animals with all my heart, especially dogs! Did not grow up with cats, but I do not shy away from giving them cuddles when given the chance. Love bunnies too! I'm also a rising junior in college working on personal projects and classes along with some free time on my hands, so availability for babysitting is fairly flexible during the week. A few hobbies of mine: going on road trips either with friends, trying out new places to eat, and thrifting. I'm always available for a video call so we can get to know each other and see whether we are a good fit for each other!

Phoenix $19 per hour for 1 child

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.

Sarah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarah and I have been babysitting for approximately 15 years. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and young kids. I also am a mother of a 5 year old and often times, I babysit our cousins, my nephew and other friend’s children. I started babysitting at the age of 15. My duties include transporting kids to/from school, some tutoring, arts and crafts, and some household chores. I also used to work as a swim instructor and lifeguard. I mainly taught classes aging from 3-12. I was a swim instructor and lifeguard for approximately 6 years. I was also a caretaker for both of my grandparents. I assisted with cooking dinner, giving appropriate medication, and taking them to/from their doctor’s appointments. I am afraid of mid size- large dogs but I don’t mind small dogs.
