Marianna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Marianna and I am 23 years old. I'm a reliable and easygoing sitter with 8 years of experience caring for children ages 1-13. I currently work full-time during the week (9-5), so I'm available for weeknight and weekend babysitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment--whether that's playing outside, doing crafts, board games, movie nights, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at once and am happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and pet care as needed. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving for school pickups, activities, errands, etc. Families describe me as patient, dependable, calm, and approachable, and I always try to make both parents and kids feel comfortable. I'm happy to provide references upon request and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can!

A'Neishia $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Hello - My name is Sara. I am a senior at Goucher College and I am offering part-time child care. I have been working in childcare for over 5 years with experience in private home, preschool, and school-age care. Having worked in schools, I am CPR and First Aide certified as well as having obtained a certification in 45-hour Childcare Growth and Development. I love babsitting and have worked with toddlers and kids since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities have included tutoring, making crafts, providing snack and pre made meals.

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.
