Booked by 1 family in White Marsh, MD

I am a nurse practitioner (current practice owner) who never had children of my own and have always wanted them. I have medical experience beginning at Children’s Hospital in DC on their behavioural psychiatry unit, my nursing internship was a Cambridge hospital on the pediatric behaviour program. After becoming an NP in 2005, I spent several summers as a camp nurse at the Barrie School in Silver Spring, MD. I have also worked with their 4 year olds for aftercare and substituted in the baby room when needed. My other experience includes being the lead NP at JHH on their Meyer 6 unit for 4 years and some time in the Anesthesia department. Working with children has been my most fulfilling work. My extensive care of children in various situations should make any parent feel confident in choosing me as a caregiver.

“Very professional, punctual, thoughtful, great communication. Will hire again!”

Hi! My name is Nina, and I’m a responsible and caring babysitter with a 90-hour childcare certification and hands-on experience from my stepmom’s in-home daycare and working at my high school’s preschool. As a nursing student, I’m passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. I love engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, as well as helping with homework, bedtime routines, and light meal prep. My goal is to make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable and happy while I’m around. I’d love to help out! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

“She was on time. My child really connected with her and was sad to see her go.”

Booked by 5 families in White Marsh, MD

Hi, I’m Noor☺️! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic graduate community college student with experience caring for children from infants to school age. I used to work part-time at a daycare for 5+ years and also babysit for several families, giving me hands-on experience with routines, playtime, meals, naps, and creating a safe, positive environment for kids of all ages. I love keeping children engaged through crafts, pretend play, outdoor walks, playground trips, and fun activities that encourage creativity and learning. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with dog sitting and dog walking, so I’m very comfortable around pets! My goal is always to make children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I truly enjoy building strong connections with both kids and families, and I’m excited to help however I can :)

“Noor has been absolutely incredible. She showed such comforting level of care for our high energy toddler. She is always incredibly sweet, kind, and emotionally intelligent towards our daughter and even managed to create an immediate comfort with our other child who is severely disabled and limited in his ability to interact. Our family could not recommend Noor enough, she will always be welcomed in our home.”

Mia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! Mya name is Mia and I am 22 years old. I am in nursing school and I am a certified nursing assistant. I am offering child care and dog sitting/ walking. I have always babysat growing up. The ages always varied from 6 months old to 12 years of age. I love children and babies and I am CPR certified as well. I also dog sit and I love to walk so me and your fur babies can get lots of exercise (if that’s something the dog would like). I have no issues with bigger dogs or any breeds. I have 3 dogs at home that I help take care of, so I am not a stranger to multiple pets either. I am very responsible and will make sure things go as smoothly as possible:)
