Hello parents! My experience spans from babies to teenagers and I have been working with kids as a nanny and babysitter for 8 years. I have a degree in Business Analytics from the University of Maryland and I’m looking for occasional babysitting jobs. While babysitting, I enjoy playing, reading, going to parks and libraries, exploring kids’ imagination/creativity, and having fun! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

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 😊

“Maggie is very communicative, punctual, and professional. She is someone that we’ll definitely be trying to book with again in the future!”

I graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology in 2016. I am very passionate about helping people improve their lives and hope to go back to school for social work or forensic psychology. I have 2 nephews and 1 niece that I watch for my older brother, and they are the light of my life! When I have them for extended periods of time I try to make a set schedule of activities to keep them busy and set meals. I also used to be a YMCA Summer Camp counselor in college work with children in kindergarten and enjoyed every minute of it! I am CPR certified! I like to play piano and I love love love podcasts! I have 1 year puppy named Rosie who I absolutely adore! Please reach out if you have any questions!

Hi, my name is Andrea and I have experience working with children from newborn on up, in a variety of settings. I've worked as a babysitter over the years, as an after school teacher for 2nd-3rd graders, been a middle school cheer coach, and I've also worked as a sitter working at large events caring for children from newborn-middle school age. I am warm, compassionate, selfless and have a very big heart- especially for children. I enjoy a variety of activities with children and always do my best to omit or limit screen time so we can interact and engage instead.

“Andrea has been taking care of our kids for years, and has become like another member of our family. The kids love playing with her. She is so sweet and kind with our children, and appropriately firm when necessary. And when she cooks for the kids, coming home to a tidied kitchen is a bonus. Can't recommend her enough.”
