Hello! My name is Amirah, and I'm currently a business honors student at the University of Maryland. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with children and have experience through family and friends. However, I recently graduated from a teacher prep program at the Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC (dual-enrollment high school), graduating with an associate's degree in teacher preparation. While studying there, I acquired more than 30 hours of observation and hands-on experience in real-world classrooms. I also have experience working with animals, as I have lived with both a dog and two cats before and am used to household chores such as light cleaning (dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and running errands.
As a proud mother of two beautiful daughters and a woman of African heritage, I deeply believe in the proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This belief is at the heart of how I care for and connect with children. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Motherhood has gifted me with patience, gentleness, and empathy, while my experience in a school setting has expanded my understanding of child development and creative learning. I cherish the opportunity to inspire curiosity, emotional growth, and joyful exploration—making me a thoughtful, community-minded, and dedicated nanny/helper.
Hi families! I’m a First Grade teacher offering occasional date night babysitting and weekend overnight care. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including time in a childcare center with 2–4 year olds and private babysitting for infants and toddlers. I also hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. I’m reliable, patient, and love creating a safe and fun environment for kids of all ages. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, feel free to message me for more details or to check availability!

“Laura is incredible! Laura is always on time and extremely flexible. She took great care of my two sons. She is kind and caring, while also helping to help my oldest (Timmy) with school! I would book her again anytime. Can’t’ wait for another night out with my husband!”
Hi! I’m Sophie. I am originally from Utah but moved here about 3 months ago. I graduated in Sociology and I am working on a Master’s Degree in school counseling. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs and would love to find a family to babysit with on a regular basis. I have done Stop The Bleed and CPR training within about the last year and I nannied 3 children under 7 for a summer 3 days a week. I also teach a class of about six 7-8 year students olds once a week and have nieces and nephews I babysit occasionally. I have a flexible schedule in the hours outside of my normal job (a 9-5 M-TH) and I am happy to help with whatever including cleaning, cooking, laundry, prepping lunches, etc. I love doing fun activities like crafts, baking, or being outside. I grew up playing tennis and softball but am enjoying playing pickleball and doing yoga these days.
“We had a wonderful experience with Sophie. She was caring, responsible, punctual, followed instructions well, and was attentive to our 17 month old’s needs. Our son is usually slow to warm to people, but was immediately comfortable with Sophie. We would definitely recommend her to other families and would happily have her babysit again!”

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
