Booked by 1 family in Spencerville, MD

I’m a thoughtful, empathetic person with a deep appreciation for nurturing and care. Outside of my professional career, I’ve always had a natural fondness for children and families. I believe that caring for someone’s home or loved ones isn’t just a “job”; it’s a responsibility rooted in respect, trust, and understanding.

“Nadia is such an amazing and calm person. My children love her and always look forward to seeing her. She involves the children in different play activities with minimal to no screen time at all. We trust her with the kids and know that they’re in good hands. We are glad to have met her!”

Clarissa $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable caregiver who brings a little fun into every day! I’ve worked with kids, seniors, and pets, helping with everything from homework and bedtime routines to companionship and daily support. 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. I also help keep the home running smoothly with light cleaning, organizing, and meal prep. With patience, empathy, and great time management, I make sure everything gets done while keeping the vibe warm and upbeat.

Abigya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Abigya, and I’m currently a senior at the University of Maryland, majoring in Information Science. I am offering child care and household services. I love working with children and have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids since I was 15. My responsibilities have included helping with school pick-ups, tutoring, organizing fun activities, and more. I’ve also tutored children for 2 years at a Kumon tutoring center and teach Sunday school students. I can assist with household tasks like cleaning and running errands. I don’t have any pet allergies and am happy to work with families that have both cats and dogs.

Nataani $20 per hour for 1 child

I've been working with children since I was 16, I'm 19 years old. At 16 I did small babysitting jobs and after school was a regular nanny to 2 kids, (3 and 4). I worked at a local daycare when I was 17 to 18. I helped looked after 11-16 children daily from the ages of newborns to 9 year olds. Now I'm an assistant teacher at a learning center/daycare, I take care of infants(newborn to 1 year olds) to 4 year olds. Usually assist take care of 16-23 two year olds, 6-13 three year olds and 9-15 four year olds daily. Children love me and I love them! I'm patient, love interacting and playing with children. I'm a clean person (will do light cleaning), I can food prep, make bottles, change diapers, assist with feeding etc. Can help with small learning skills, managing behavior and potty training. Good with nighttime routines and can read bedtime stories. I also have CPR, first aid and AED certifications.

Meghan $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Spencerville, MD

Hi! I’m a second grade teacher in the MCPS district with a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 12 years as a barber, where I built strong connections with kids and families. I’ve also been babysitting since my early teenage years, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I’m happy to help with homework, plan creative activities, go on nature walks, drive to and from extracurriculars, assist with housekeeping, and, of course, be a little silly and have fun! I am seeking summer employment, but until then, I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I’m also open to last-minute care when you need an extra hand.
