My personality is very valuable in childcare. I am a kind, responsible, and honest person. People who know me tell me that I am very charming and patient in my work and personal life. I work hard at everything I am willing to do. Also, I know how to communicate effectively with others, which I think is very important when working with families. Of note, I have experience in childcare and I am very enthusiastic. Children always connect with me. I think I have good vibes to get along with others. As for household chores, I try to do them on time and efficiently. I have experience cooking meals and preparing healthy snacks, driving children, and providing them with activities to enjoy in their daily lives.
Hi! My name is Yara. I was previously an Au Pair, and I have experience caring for children from newborns to 13 years old. Although I’m no longer an Au Pair, I now work as a nanny/babysitter in my free time. I am CPR certified, I can help with homework when needed and also assist with light household tasks such as laundry, washing dishes, and putting them away. Additionally, I’ve worked at children’s birthday parties, organizing games, supervising, and interacting with the kids. I’m bilingual, I speak Portuguese (native proficiency) and English. I have a valid work permit to work in the U.S.
Homeschool & Sunday school teacher mom of 2 little boys (4 & 1). Recently renewed my first aid, CPR, and AED certification (Nov. ‘25). Before having kids of my own I nannied for 3 different families with multiple children with ages ranging from newborn to 8 years old. In addition to that I have previously worked for an in home daycare that had roughly 8 kids each day with ages from newborn to early elementary school age. I am friendly, loving and reliable. As a stay at home mom I am looking for opportunities to earn extra income for our home by doing what I am good at - caring for babies and kids!
Hi, I’m Maria! I have a background in Civil Engineering and work full-time during the week, but I’m available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting. I have experience caring for children of all ages and truly enjoy supporting families however I can—whether that’s helping with homework, playtime, or bedtime routines. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to step in when you need an extra hand!
My name is Lisa and I'm approaching my senior year at UMD. I study biochemistry and potentially want to work in the chemistry and/or neuroscience field. When I was in high school, I worked at Color Me Mine and I had to run many children's birthday parties there. I'd like more experience in babysitting and working with kids because it would open my perspective about working with different age groups related to my future career. I've had cats and dogs throughout my life so I'm comfortable with pets. I've gotten into baking and I know how to make basic meals. I also have a basic life support (BLS) certification and planning to get my advanced life support (ALS) certification soon. If you need someone to step in during a night out or to help out during a busy schedule, let me know!
