I am a pre-med biology graduate from Morgan State University and a certified medical assistant. These studies have strengthened my understanding of health and safety, which is crucial to being a competent caregiver. As I continue my path of education, I hope to become a pediatrician who expresses my genuine compassion for caring for kids, not just physically but emotionally as well. As one of the oldest kids in my family, I have been accustomed to babysitting for quite some time. From babysitting my newborn nieces and nephews overnight to watching my cousins for almost a week. I also have experience in animal sitting for 2 years, whether that be dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Caregiving has been a pivotal part of my life since I was younger, growing up in my household. Having to assist my younger brother and sister with homework, cooking them dinner, and being a beacon of knowledge, care, and love for them. I love caregiving because I enjoy being a dependable person that people can count on. It gives me a sense of purpose because I know that I am playing an essential role in their life. Constantly showing up and being present, supporting their development, reminds me that even little, everyday actions such as these are the ones that make a difference and create a village for kids to be nurtured and grow healthily.

“On time, kids were very comfortable and had fun while my husband and I went to the movies! ”

Anbriel $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.

Hi Everyone! I am Abigail, 20 year old Au Pair from South Africa. I spent almost 2 years teaching at a daycare centre as well as tutoring and babysitting occasionally. I love spending time with kids and can do anything from cooking to helping with homework, etc. I am currently an Au Pair for a lovely family with three little boys from ages 2 years to 8 years old. I am also comfortable petsitting cats and dogs and house sitting.

“Abigail is currently our superstar Au Pair and has been living with us for the last few months. She predominantly cares for our 2 year old son, but also helps with our older two boys when they return from school (ages 5 and 8). She is wonderful with the boys and she has built an incredible relationship with all 3 of them. She's also very patient and her teaching experience really helps them with their learning and homework needs. She creates a warm, welcoming and enriching environment that ensures the kids have an optimal opportunity to thrive. She's highly reliable and always goes above and beyond our needs. She has a lot of free time in the evenings and over weekends, so I'll highly recommend her as a babysitter for any family.”
