Hello! My name is Kayla. Please read my profile before booking to see if I and my policies are a good fit for your family, as I am only accepting ad hoc care needs and not currently looking to add a scheduled position :) I am an elementary school teacher and love it! Before going back to school for elementary and special education, I was a nanny for a decade. I worked with a family of three for (newborn - middle school) for eight year and was responsible for the children’s full-day schedule during the week, planning outings, working on academic skills, etc. I worked for another family during the pandemic, educating twins through first and second grade. In addition to nannying, I have babysat for hundreds of families in the DMV with loads of experience from the newborn stage through the teenage years. I have done many date nights, full days, overnights and full weeks. I always plan and bring fun activities (games, crafts, science experiments, sensory play, baking, etc) based on the child’s stage of development and interests to ensure we have the best time. If applicable, I make time outside and/or outings a priority. About me: I teach upper elementary school and love it. My focuses are making learning fun and relevant to my students, social emotional learning, and growth mindset. Outside of work I enjoy experiencing all life has to offer and fill my days as much as possible: local sporting events, museums, hiking, camping, golfing, tennis/pickleball, board games and puzzles, historical and cultural activites, cooking/baking things from scratch, and reading/book clubs. Each year I strive to accomplish 1,000 hours outside, 60 games played and 70 books read. I am married (no children) and spend a lot time with my nieces and nephews. Policy: -Four hour minimum. -Hours booked will be charged. -For overnights totaling more than 25 hours, I charge sleeping hours at 1/2 rate. -First cancellation without charge; 50% of booking fee for each cancellation thereafter.

“Amazing sitter! She was prompt, communicative, very engaging with our daughter, brought her own fun activities, got them to bed expertly, and wrote down a summary of the evening for us. Wish she lived in NYC!!!”

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 😊

Hello! My name is Chloé, and I have a background in college-level engineering studies, with several years of professional childcare, tutoring, and after-school teaching experience. I am also stepping into a role as a paraeducator with Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). My experience ranges from infants through school-age children and includes recurring infant care, after-school care, transportation, meals, and bedtime routines. As someone with a STEM background, I'm also comfortable providing homework support. From March 2024 to October 2025, I worked as an after-school teacher at Lafayette Elementary with students from pre-K through fifth grade and provided French and math tutoring at Maryvale Elementary. I also speak English and French. My private-family experience includes infant and school-age care, multi-child care, school pickups and transportation, overnight and extended care, and supporting children with ADHD and autism. I recently provided care for an infant, beginning when she was two months old, including both full-time and recurring care arrangements. My responsibilities included feeding, diaper changes, naps, tummy time, teething support, developmental play, maintaining routines, cleaning and sanitizing bottles, toys, and baby items, infant laundry, and keeping the baby’s spaces clean and organized. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I’m calm, communicative, attentive, and comfortable following established routines. Because of my daytime school schedule, my regular availability is Monday through Friday after 3:30 PM, as well as fully open and flexible schedules on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m currently seeking recurring care during these afternoons, evenings, and weekends, with some scheduling flexibility depending on the family's needs. I’m also open to occasional evening, weekend, overnight, and extended care.

“Very attentive & keeps in contact throughout the job. ”

Hi! I'm Catalina, a caring, responsible, and bilingual caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages, from infants and toddlers to adolescents. I have a background in Psychology and experience working with children with special needs, as well as extensive experience as a nanny and childcare provider. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and engaged. I love doing age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and creative activities. I’m also happy to support families with routines, homework, and bedtime when needed. I’m CPR trained, have reliable transportation, and can provide references. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and am comfortable working with both children and pets. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting in the afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I’m happy to help with date nights, occasional childcare, school pick-ups, or when parents simply need an extra hand.

“Catalina was an incredible caretaker for my daughter! My daughter warmed to her right away. Catalina had many ideas for crafts and activities to keep my daughter engaged for a full day - and what a fun surprise for me to see their artwork at the end of the day! Catalina is calm, friendly, and knowledgeable about children. It was a great experience!”

Hello There, I trust you and your family are well! You might notice my last review is from 2020, that’s simply because I’ve been fortunate to work long-term with a few wonderful families since then. My relationships often last for years, and many of the families I’ve supported have truly become like family to me. I hold a Master’s of Arts (M.A.) in School Counseling, & M.Ed in Education Policy and Leadership. I have more than fourteen years of private childcare experience ranging from newborn to 15 years of age. I support children's emotional and social development, encouraging understanding of others and positive self-concepts. My goal has always been to provide children with the necessary care. I am dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is fun,stimulating, encouraging, safe and adaptive to each child's individual needs. Should you have any questions, feel free to message me.

“A miracle worker. Absolutely amazing. Wish she lived in SF.”
