Maylani $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Laurel, MD

Hi! My name is Maylani, and I am entering my junior year of college studying Public Health Science. I’m looking for a seasonal summer babysitting position and would love to support a family that needs help during the week and/or weekends. I have experience babysitting for families in my neighborhood after completing Safe Sitter training, and I have also worked as a gymnastics coach for school-age children since the summer of 2023, a role I continue to hold today. Coaching has helped me develop patience, creativity, leadership, and strong communication skills with children of all ages. A little more about me: I hope to become a podiatrist in the future, and as a pre-med student, I have been consistently shadowing at a pediatric urgent care clinic since June 2025, which has given me additional hands-on exposure to working with children in a clinical setting. I also had the opportunity to shadow at a pediatric hospital in Athens, Greece. In addition, I love science, work as a college biology tutor during the school year, and will be doing biology research this summer. If you’re looking for a responsible, energetic, and caring babysitter this summer, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Aara $15 per hour for 1 child

Growing up in a large family meant that I always was intimately acquainted with just how intense and rewarding it can be to raise children. Even though it can be chaotic at times, seeing the world through new eyes is exciting. As such, for all of high school, I babysat children from the ages of 3-10, taking them to after-school lessons, making dinners and spending time going on adventures! In addition, I also tutored in a local elementary school, assisting technology classes and helping students with beginner coding and typing skills. As a university student currently, I have continued to tutor in math and reading comprehension for students aged from 5-17.

Madeline 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Laurel, MD

Hi, I'm Maddie! I'm a graduate student at UMD and I am currently offering child care services. I love working with and empowering kids and have previously had roles as a summer science camp teacher and summer library staff where I primarily have cared for school-aged children. I love doing crafts, reading, and playing games with kids and I occasionally tutor.

Maddie is absolutely wonderful! It was her first time meeting my son, who’s on the spectrum, and they connected right away. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with his care. Maddie even handled driving him to and from his ABA therapy, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found her and look forward to having her help again on future dates.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Laurel, MD

Hi! My name is Talia, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, along with my CDA Pre-K Certification, Infant and Toddler Certification, and many other certifications related to childcare and development. I have hands-on experience as a nanny, homeschool support, and have also worked as both an infant teacher and a Pre-K teacher. Working with children truly brings me so much joy, it’s such a beautiful experience being part of their growth, imagination, and everyday little moments. I’m very fun, patient, and bubbly, and I love creating engaging days filled with play, learning, creativity, and lots of positive energy. I enjoy building genuine connections with families and children ensuring that they feel happy, safe, and excited throughout our time together. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal prepping to help support your home and daily routine. I’m currently open to short-term and occasional care and would love to bring that same warmth and energy to your family!
