Daniah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone, my name is Daniah and I’m from Maryland. I’m a recent graduate of Mount St. Mary’s University with a bachelor’s of science in psychology and am currently in graduate school at George Washington University for my master’s in school counseling. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I have years of experience working with children as a Sabbath School teacher, ABA therapist, and caregiver. I’ve supported kids from toddlers to teens, including children with autism, helping them with communication, daily routines, and social skills. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. I’ve cared for seniors and vulnerable adults—helping with appointments, errands, medication, and daily support—and love being a steady, compassionate presence. I also assist with cooking, cleaning, and other household tasks. I’m dependable, empathetic, patient, and passionate about helping others feel safe, supported, and cared for. Let me know how I can help your family!

Nurturing children's development is a true passion of mine, sparked by positive experiences in previous babysitting roles.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Shady Side, MD

Hi, my name is Myka! I’ve always had a passion caring for children ever since I could remember. I’ve gained several years of childcare experience, caring for ages newborn to school-age in various settings such as daycare, in-home nanny and being a school nurse. Being a mother myself has also given me further knowledge and experience in caring for newborns to school-age.

Myka is wonderful to work with! She is reliable, punctual and most importantly she is so kind and loving with our two energetic boys and we came back to two very happy kids who asked when she could come back again.
