Hi, my name is Patty. I have 25+ years of experience with children. I am an honest, loyal, hard worker and loving person. I’ve worked in the same center for 25 years. I taught in a classroom and handled office duties. I now nanny for a schoolteacher so I have summers off. It brings pure joy to teach children new things and see the smile on their faces because they learned and accomplished something new. I love to teach, craft, have fun and love up your kiddo. I have a lot to offer your child and keep them busy. The best part of my day is to see your little one smile. I have all 5 clearances, mandated reporter certificate and health, safety and nutrition certificate. I also went to HACC and took some classes.
Hello! My name is Clorène, but I go by Coco! I moved from Tampa about a year ago, and have been enjoying life in the Baltimore area! While in Tampa, I worked for a babysitting agency, consistently watching kids from ages 1-12+ for 2 years. I also have worked in a nursery/ daycare, watching about 30-40 babies at a time (1-2 year olds). I genuinely love working with children, playing with them, and doing crafts. I am also CPR certified! Can't wait to work with you soon!
Hello, My name is Sharon and I have over 5 years experience working as a nanny. Most of my time was working with one family where I cared for children from zero months to school aged kids. I would be happy to provide assistance to young families who need a trustworthy, dedicated and dependable individual to assist with childcare needs.
I’m looking for a great family to support full time. I started out as a nanny and family house manager then went into IT for a number of years as a Project Manager. I am seeking to return to a full-time house manager / nanny or nanny only position that also supports a family with newborn and or active kids who need day to day transportation to school, friends, sports, homework help and extracurricular activities. I know I can help bring order to a family who needs my extra set of hands, mind, and experience can bring. I’m an experienced event and party planner, personal chef and meal planning, support homework and home routines for the children, and manage vendors and service providers for projects that maybe needed in the home. Also available for full weekend support / overnight care. Need a weekend away? Have a special event coming up? Plan ahead and book a weekend now. FRIDAY - 6 PM to Sunday 6 PM I’m an experienced nanny of newborns to 17 year olds. I have: College degree My own transportation I have excellent references and current clearances and background checks from: FBI Criminal Background History FBI Fingerprinting DOD Army Clearance Clean driving record No drinking No smoking I love doing creative age appropriate activities with children. Reading, tummy time, music, and more for infants. The list of activities grows as the children grow. We can discuss time options, children’s sports and social schedules, weekend and other requirements.
“I got stuck in DC because of flight cancellations and ending up with my 3 year old daughter and prep meeting with clients for an important next day meeting. Mary Beth arrived at the hotel promptly (in advance) and with only a request that afternoon. My daughter loved her. Indeed, she was able to do things with Patina that are hard for me -- get her to draw, tell stories, get her PJs on, and get into bed on time. Terrific.”
