Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m a graduate of Brown University and earned my master’s degree from the University of Southern California, where I played soccer at both schools. I have over 10 years of experience babysitting children of all ages and have also worked as a nanny and camp counselor. I’ve always really enjoyed working with kids and love being active, spending time outside, and coming up with things to keep them busy and having fun. I’m dependable, easygoing, and always respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. In my free time, I love finding new farmers markets and cooking new recipes!

Ashley $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Ashley, a senior at Morgan State, majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology. I’ve been babysitting since I was in high school and have worked as an Aftercare Assistant as well as a camp counselor working with toddlers, preschool, kindergarten and 1st graders. My responsibilities were adhering to feeding, playing/interacting with children as well as helping with nap(s). I’m allergic to cats and don’t mind dogs. I’m looking for a summer part time job since I’m home from college for the summer!

Amanda $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated educator and parent with 17 years of Elementary teaching experience and a Master’s degree in School Counseling. Over nearly two decades, I have guided children of all ages through their academic, social, and emotional development. My background in school counseling equips me with a deeply empathetic, patient approach, allowing me to connect with children on their level, foster emotional resilience, and tailor activities to their unique learning styles. As a parent of two children of my own, I bring both professional expertise and real-world parenting instincts to every family I support. I understand firsthand the trust it takes to hand off your little ones, as well as the importance of maintaining a safe, calm, and joyful household rhythm. Whether guiding homework, leading creative projects, or facilitating positive play, my goal is to create a warm environment where your child feels heard, confident, and engaged. I am also a big cat lover with three of my own, as well as a snake and hamster as pets! I look forward to partnering with your family!
