Find nannies in Wheaton, MD

Hello, I have worked as a nanny three times, for children ranging in age from four months to five years old. I also worked for a caregiver with a therapy organization for children with developmental disabilities back in 2[removed]. I work from 9-6 Monday through Friday, so I am available some evenings and weekends. Please just message me to check availability for a particular date! I am CPR trained, reliable, and happy to help out with light housework. I also love animals, so I always willing to help out with any household pets too. Unfortunately I do not sit for families when someone in the household is sick. (I tend to hang onto colds for weeks 🤧.)

Hi! I'm Kathryn - kids call me KP. Friends have also referred to me as Aunt Kathryn, Baby Whisperer and Better Mommy. (That last one comes from a pretty specific sense of humor!). My very first job was babysitting when I was 11. I worked my way through high school and college as a nanny, babysitter and camp counselor. Professionally I’m a consultant (political, program, operations), but I also want to remain a camp counselor forever so I spend a significant amount of my time helping families in the DC area. Some ways I can help: -babysitting -cooking in your home -overnights or multi-day caretaking -kids’ parties - arts and crafts, cooking or baking, games and simulations, wilderness, theater and movement, swimming pool -custom cakes for kids -driving kids around -lice treatment Message me to talk about any of these - I have references and examples of recent engagements for all of them. I love newborns - I earned the "baby whisperer" nickname because babies stop crying when I hold them. Many friends have asked me to be their new baby's first babysitter. I have spent more than a few hours in the NICU with friends' new babies and I can handle very young and special needs babies. I also love older kids - I do arts & crafts, baking and cooking, dance parties, field trips, nature & outside time, etc. Two of my favorite secret tricks are pipe cleaners and the Ministry of Silly Walks. Nutrition and health are serious hobbies for me - I am a great home cook and a registered yoga teacher. Cleaning isn't my favorite but I like to take care of people, and I love seeing the relief on people's faces when I finish some laundry or dishes or other cleaning task they're dreading. Mostly, I love meeting humans of all ages wherever they are and engaging on their level. I'm loving, compassionate, non-judgmental and fun. I'm also super no-nonsense and really great at boundaries and expectations. I'd love to meet your family!

Profile: Hi my name is Raquel, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. My first language is Spanish and I find great pleasure introducing children language skills like Spanish, with their parents’ consent of course. I am also AA in Early Childhood Education. I’m an experienced nanny that has been working with families and their children for 24 years. I’m easy going, warm and loving, I care for children as they were my own. I have worked mostly with DC residents but also travel to Virginia from time to time. I hold a clean drivers record, CPR certificate and good references from people that I have worked over the years. I believe I am a good Nanny because, I focus on getting to know the child’s temperament and establish a loving and respectful bond that is naturally mutual between the children and me. I provide opportunities for children to grow and learn in a save environment setting. I help children develop their identity and self-confidence. Through-out the day we also visit many local playgrounds, libraries, play groups and community activities. Also, for indoor activities, I engage children with books, art, music, self-caring and biological development as feeding, sleeping and diaper change. I only expose children to TV if it’s part of the parents’ routine otherwise, TV is not a necessity during my time with them. In addition of caring and providing learning opportunities for children, as part of my responsibility, I keep the play area and the kitchen neat, clean the child’s laundry and keep their room clean. I would be happy to continue to converse about my work experience and my character if you requested.

Hi Families! I’m Khady, I’m a third year student at Howard University. I currently reside in Noma. I’m originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, and I’ve been babysitting for about eight years. I got my Red Cross babysitting and CPR/First Aid certification at 12, and since then, I’ve been working with newborns up to teenagers. I’m experienced with all ages, but I especially love working with toddlers from 3 months to 5 to 6 years old. I also have a lot of experience with special needs, especially ASD and ADHD. I’ve worked with many families, providing date nights and backup care, and I’ve had several consistent nanny families over the years. I’m also a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and spent a year and a half at UNC Rex Hospital NICU, where I gained my experience with newborns. This included maintaining feeding schedules, swaddling, and creating a calm and safe environment. For two summers, I also worked as a camp counselor at the YMCA, working with kids from preschool through grade school, and I absolutely loved it. I enjoyed spending time outdoors, going to the pool, taking trips to the park, and keeping the children occupied with fun activities without screen time. I truly enjoy what I do and love making my clients and kids happy every day. I always go the extra mile and truly enjoy building strong relationships with my families and the kids I work with. I really strive for consistency, and many of the kids I sit hate to see me leave and want to hang out forever—it just feels like a playdate. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Khady
