Shana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Shana I am a single mother of 4. I've worked in childcare for 4 years as a lead infant teacher. My four years of experience caring for children aged 0-5 , including being lead infant teacher and working with toddlers, have solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, always striving to create a fun and engaging environment. Communication is key, so I will always keep you informed about your child's day, using your preferred method. I have a car, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. Supporting families by providing reliable care is important to me. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, and I look forward to the possibility of working with your family! Only thing is I'm will be on a family trip from September 18-20 but that's all the trips I have planned for this year. I look forward to hearing back from you and being able to help you and your family.

Hello, Im Maggie. I’m 25 years old. I have long term experience in childcare and looked after children of all age groups. I’m a Former Youth Development Specialist/Program Facilitator in MCPS for over 3 years. I also worked for the City of Gaithersburg with youth for 2 years. I organized many activities and community events. I worked with many children ranging from Elementary - High school. I am comfortable with big groups since my cohorts ranged from 10-20 students at a time. As a mother of 1, I can understand how hard it can be to find reliable and trustworthy care for your children. Which is why I provide child care on the side to bring ease to as many families as I can. We all need a break or even some help at times. I hope I can bring some light and comfort to your family. Feel free to reach out to me at anytime 😊

Booked by 1 family in Hamilton, VA

Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.

“Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.”
