Hi! I’m Latoya (Monroe)—a reliable and trustworthy happy and enthusiastic adventurous nanny with 15+ years of childcare experience, including 8+ years supporting busy professional families. I’m passionate about assisting families who may not have strong extended support, providing dependable care, structure, and a calm, consistent presence in the home. I value strong family core values and believe childcare should feel supportive, not stressful. Experience in working with great families with limited extended family support nearby. I do have a clean and clear background check. The reason I don’t have the badge is I am disputing a parking ticket. Per sitters guidelines, this prevents me from obtaining updated sitters badge. Please contact me with any questions. I come with stellar professional references. I am comfortable working in families home that have pet family members. I do love cats and dogs. Xoxo (friendly and safe) .

She was absolutely amazing—attentive, reliable, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. Her level of care and professionalism stood out immediately. I’ve already recommended her services to several friends who are parents, and I fully plan on working with her again when my newborn arrives. Highly recommend!

Hi! I’m Iyana 😊 I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University with over 5 years of experience caring for children ages 4 months to 12 years. I’ve worked with infants through elementary-aged kids and also spent a year and a half teaching 8th grade, including supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I really enjoy babysitting because every child is different, and I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. I’m comfortable with transportation, sleep training/bedtime routines, and I’m very pet-friendly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games, karaoke, going on walks or hikes, and cooking together. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment for both kids and parents.

Dear Families, Hello! My name is Sydney, and I am a dedicated, caring, and experienced childcare provider with many years of experience working with children of all ages. I was a Girl Scout for 12 years and attended sleepaway camp each summer, where I developed strong leadership, responsibility, and teamwork skills. I participated in the Counselor in Training Program for two summers and later served as a Junior Counselor. In this role, I assisted the Unit Counselor with planning and implementing activities, led and supported campers in age-appropriate programs, and corresponded with campers to encourage their personal growth and confidence. In 2019, I worked at Clinton Gymnastics, where I assisted with program planning based on recreational themes, provided emotional support and encouragement to campers, and helped maintain a clean and organized environment. I also have extensive childcare experience through caring for my younger sister, who is now 10 years old. I have helped care for her since infancy, supporting her daily routines, learning, and social-emotional development. I am a graduate of Morgan State University, where I earned a degree in Biology. This background, along with my current role as a second-grade teacher, has strengthened my ability to support children’s academic growth, curiosity, and love of learning. In my teaching role, I design engaging lessons, manage classroom routines, provide individualized support, and build strong relationships with children and families. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I take safety very seriously. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide quality care for your children. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you! Sincerely, Sydney

Hi! My name is Michaela-Joyce, and I’m a proud graduate of Howard University, where I studied Bioethics with minors in Chemistry and Political Science. Babysitting has always held a special place in my heart; it’s the one job that consistently brings joy to my day! With over seven years of experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to high schoolers, in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycares, and church nurseries. I also have four years of experience working with children on the autism spectrum, creating tailored activities to meet their unique needs. Currently, I work at a nonprofit helping kids with mental health and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the Prince George’s County School District. I’ve completed a background check and fingerprinting for the state of Maryland and DC as part of my job, so you can trust that I’m thoroughly vetted. I love sparking creativity through fun, innovative, and engaging activities, especially those centered around art or STEM, to keep their imagination alive. Safety is my top priority; I’m CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified and fully vaccinated, including boosters. With a flexible schedule, I’m excited to bring my nurturing, reliable care to your family. I can’t wait to connect and help create wonderful memories with your little ones!

Hello dear Parents: I am seeking full time or part-time position. Also, I am available on weekends or as needed. For the last 7 years I have been caring little ones from infants to pre-kindergarteners and elementary kids. I also enjoyed thoroughly working with first time parents caring for little bundles of joy. My last experiences are 15 weeks and 4 and 2-months old babies and now are years old or in preschool. My duties as a nanny are to feed (I can prepare food from scratch) their bottles of formula or breastmilk, change diapers, put them for naps, sleep training. I also play with the baby's toys to encourage them to grasp their toys and mentioning to them the colors, names, and sounds to promote cognitive development. I also put babies in tummy time so that their neck muscles get stronger day by day for later to roll over, sit up, and crawl. I have prepared healthy meals, and I am very organized and like to be active with the kids. I also help them to get ready for bed and wait until parents arrive from work. I currently have Child Development Certification, SIDS, CPR and AED certified as well. Thanks for reading my profile. Ysabel

My passion for working with children, combined with my experience and training, makes me a qualified caregiver. I’m excited to join a family where I can share my enthusiasm and dedication.

Kennedy is wonderful. She is so communicative and responsive, and a really sweet and kind person. We have had her assist with our baby boy a couple times now and definitely recommend her! She is very attentive to him and he is perfectly happy snuggling up with her and hanging out. She is a natural with children and definitely someone you can rely on and trust with you kiddos. Very easy to work with and a lifesaver when it comes to childcare so far!

I am currently an engineer for a major general contractor in Washington, DC. I graduated in 2014 from Lafayette College with a degree in engineering and architecture. I recently got married and am working hard to save some extra money to help pay for living expenses and student loans. In college I was involved with Pi Beta Phi Sorority whose philanthropy works directly with young children in teaching them to learn to read. I have also been babysitting for the past 11 years. To me, light housekeeping is part of the babysitting job, I always do my very best to leave a home tidier than when I arrived. I am able and willing to care for any number of children at any age. I also love caring for pets. I am familiar and comfortable with children who have disabilities.

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.
