Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the families I support. With nine years of experience caring for children ages 0 to 11, I provide a calm, patient, and reliable environment for up to two children at a time. I am happy to assist with meal preparation and light housekeeping to keep your home running smoothly. I follow your lead on household rules and provide regular updates via text or phone calls to keep you informed. I am ready to provide dependable care for your family. I would be honored to help your children.
Hello!!! My name is Alexa (I go by Lexi) and I have always had a passion for caring for children. Currently I am a public school music teacher for ages 5-11 and I absolutely love it! Before teaching elementary, I worked in a private preschool where the students would have a full day schedule of different activities to engage in. Additionally, I have experience teaching church youth ages 4-12 to lead worship and I have lots of experience with infants and toddlers. I would love to help your family or group with your child care needs.
“she was on time, very energetic, and the kids adored her. will definitely request her again”
Hi, families. My name is Diya, and I am an incoming sophomore attending the University of Maryland. I am so excited to get to know, meet, and spend time with your family. I love bonding with children, especially with new, creative, and engaging activities that keep them stimulated and having a good time. I have worked at many children's tutoring services, all throughout high school, where I was exposed to various personalities and energy levels among children. I have also spent many years babysitting for my community when parents go out for date nights or other leisure activities. I also have interned at many pediatric dental clinics, as I am a pre-dental student so I have skills on working with any anxiety children may have in uncomfotable situations. Lastly, I have worked in daycares and summer camps with large groups of children over the summers. I am also able to do household services such as laundry, dishes, and cleaning the house. I have a large dog, so I would also be able to take care of any pets based on your requests. I am also CPR and AED certified to ensure that you feel safe leaving your child with me.
