I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. I’m skilled in creating structured routines, supporting children’s emotional needs, and engaging them in fun, age-appropriate activities. I value open and respectful communication with parents and strive to create a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child in my care. 🎓 Education: Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling ❤️ Certifications: CPR & First Aid certified I’m available for part-time, temporary, or short-term care and am willing to travel up to 15 miles within Baltimore County and nearby areas of Howard County.

I have loved caring for children for as long as I can remember, and with over 15 years of experience, supporting and nurturing kids has become a true passion of mine. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, which has strengthened my ability to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a Certified Medication Technician (CMT), giving families added confidence in my skills and reliability. I am dedicated to creating a positive, engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. While I plan to further my education in the future, I am currently focused on doing what I love most working closely with children and being a dependable, caring presence in their lives.
Hi, I am Natalia, I am Colombian, I am 28, and I am looking for babysitting positions for the weekends ( Sat - Sun any time) Or night dates ( Monday-Friday 7pm - midnight) I consider myself as a responsible person. I am very outgoing, I used to be a volleyball player for my university team so, I am very active, I like to play with the kids,; I can speak in Spanish to the kids if you would like it. I was an au pair, I took care of 2 little girls since the oldest one was 4 months (they are 5 and 3 years old at the moment) in Syracuse-New York, I worked with them since November 2019 to august 2022. After my program I moved with my husband to Columbia/Maryland and I started taking care of a little girl who was 4 months when I started on march 2023 and I took care of her until March 2024. I quit my job as a full time nanny because I am a Colombian lawyer and I am pursuing a career in the legal field here in the US. I am currently working as a legal assistant during the week but I would like to have an extra job on the weekends doing something that I love which is taking care of kids. I always care about the safety and the happiness of the babies and kids, I have experience working with kids between (3 months old / 12 years old ). I am looking to babysit around Columbia/ Maryland. Thank you! I hope to hear about you and your kids soon! Natalia P.
