Booked by 1 family in Upper Marlboro, MD

Hi! My name is Brianca, I am a college student. It is summer break right now. I am here to care for your children during the week. Depending on your schedule I am flexible when school begins again!! I started working with children at a very young age because I love kids. I took a child development class in high school which taught me foundational knowledge about children at a young age. This also allowed me to work face to face with children everyday. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and young children. I am also a graduate student at my university. I specialize in creating, engaging and educational activities while advancing problem solving skills and multitasking skills.

“Brianca is wonderful! Extremely caring and responsible. ”

Booked by 5 families in Upper Marlboro, MD

Hello! My name is Adetomilola, but many people call me Angie. I am 23 years old and a student at the University of Maryland, College Park pursuing a degree in information science. In my free time I like to sing, watch movies, and read. I love taking care of infants, toddlers, and young children. It's amazing to see how they grow and develop into who they are meant to be. I value being able to have a positive impact on them by providing kind and loving care and by keeping them engaged throughout the day. I have 6 nieces and nephews ranging from the age of 3 months to 8 years old, and I have had a hand in the care of every one of them. I have also provided childcare for numerous family friends, members of my community, and extended family. Recently, I have been assisting a family with caring for their 2 year old and 5 month old. That includes changing diapers, preparing meals, light housekeeping, bathing, nap times, and other parts of their routine. I am a stickler for cleanliness and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for your children. I treat every child with the same love and attention that I would give my family. I am new to this platform, but I’m so excited to get to work. I hope I get to meet your family soon!

“Very responsive, and handled our two kids excellently well and with care. Definitely recommend.”

Hi! My name is Vicki. I’m currently a student at Walden University studying Social Work and an experienced nanny/babysitter based in Bowie, MD. I offer childcare, pet care, and light household services. A little about me: • I have 8+ years of childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks old through age 12. • I am CPR and First Aid trained. • I worked as a daycare teacher from 2[removed] and have been nannying professionally since 2019. • I’m 1 of 12 siblings, so being around children has always been a huge part of my life and something I genuinely enjoy. • I have experience with infants, toddlers, multiples, school-aged children, and managing daily routines. • In addition to childcare, I can assist with driving children, light cleaning, organizing, pet care, grocery shopping/errands, and meal prep. I’m available for babysitting during the week, evenings, weekends, date nights, and overnights. I’m also open to occasional and last-minute care when my schedule allows. I have reliable transportation and references available upon request. I’d love to connect with families looking for a dependable, experienced, and caring nanny or babysitter!

“Vee was great. Our first time with her and the kids loved her. She was on time, and really connected with the kids and got comfortable right away. Kids asked us if she could come back already. Will definitely seek her services again!”

Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 38 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.
