Nurturing children's development is a true passion of mine, sparked by positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. I hold a graduate degree and am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. My approach is patient and friendly. I always follow parents' preferred communication methods and am comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to prepare meals and engage children with fun activities, including outdoor sports, board games, and even educational apps. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I speak Arabic and Spanish in addition to English. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on your children's lives. I look forward to hearing from you!

Provided care and early childhood support for infants (3 weeks old) through preschoolers (age 5). Maintained small classroom ratios to ensure safety and individualized attention (approximately 5 infants per room and 6 preschool children per teacher). Assisted with daily routines, including feeding, diapering, educational activities, and developmental play. Supervised aftercare from 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM, up to 3–5 days per week, ensuring a safe and structured environment until parents arrived. Supported children's social, emotional, and developmental growth through structured learning and play. Provided dog walking and basic pet care services in the neighborhood during earlier years. Experienced with caring for personal pets, having owned three dogs, including responsibilities such as feeding, walking, grooming, and general care.
Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 38 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.
I’m an RBT with 3 years of experience working with children with ASD, where I've developed a strong foundation in patience, empathy, and creating supportive environments. I love the field so much I am actively pursuing a Masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In addition to my therapeutic work, I've coached kids ages 3-15 in T-ball, baseball, softball, and soccer, and I played softball myself for 13 years, which has taught me teamwork, discipline, and how to motivate others. I'm CPR certified, and as a proud pet owner of three dogs, I’m experienced in caring for animals as well. I’m passionate about working with kids, whether it’s providing therapy, coaching, or simply making sure they feel safe, engaged, and happy. My compassionate, patient, and reliable nature allows me to build trust with families and create positive experiences for every child I work with.
Hi! I’m responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with several years of hands-on childcare experience. During college and into young adulthood, I worked as a nanny and babysitter for multiple families, caring for children of various ages. I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, organization, and commitment. I’m also very comfortable around pets both cats and dogs and happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, and keeping things tidy while caring for your little ones. I understand the importance of trust and clear communication and always aim to give parents peace of mind while they’re away.

"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."

"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!"
