Hi Moms and Dads thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Sherry living in Gaithersburg Md. I have worked as a babysitter /nanny for over 40yrs. I worked for family's all over Montgomery County . I have work with preemies, new-born, toddlers and school age children. I have had experience with down syndrome children and one that requires a feeding tube. As a nanny I want your child/children to know that I am there to keep them safe and give love while their parents work. I will protect them as if they are my own. I read, sing song, go out, do craft and get down on the floor, and play. I enjoy going to story time and other activities. Sorry, I don't do public pools. I have travel with my family's to other states. I even travel to Spain with one of my family and stayed for 2months. I also do short term jobs and long term. My last family I was with for 3 years. I try to to support my family's as much as I can, whether it's a emergency or something else. I like to build a bond with the kids that I take care of so they feel safe and love at all times. Yes this is a job but how can you spend time with beautiful kids and not love on them. I do have my own car seats less then 2yrs old and kept clean. They are Graco.

Hi, I’m Phoebe! If there’s one thing everyone knows about me, it’s my deep love for children and my dedication to helping them grow into confident, independent, and joyful individuals. I believe that truly exceptional child care starts with creating a space where every child feels safe, seen, and free to be themselves. From there, I focus on guiding them toward independence, encouraging their unique personalities, and supporting their growth with warmth, patience, and purpose.I bring years of hands-on experience both as a trusted nanny for families and as an early childhood educator at Bright Horizons. In these roles, I have supported everything from daily home routines and household maintenance to curriculum planning, potty training, and early speech development. Through my position at Bright Horizons, I completed rigorous training in child safety, brain development, curriculum design, and early education. This has given me a strong foundation not only in caregiving but also in nurturing each child's growth with intention and care. Whether I am working one-on-one in a home or supporting a group in a classroom, my focus is always the same: creating a safe, nurturing space where children feel confident to be themselves while developing independence and essential life skills.

Bonjour! I’m a proud St. Lucian with a big heart and a passion for babysitting that blossomed when I was just 11 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my three younger siblings, who were born more than a decade after me. Those early experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to guide little ones through every stage. From first steps to singing/sporty personalities. Watching them grow into their own identities lit a fire in me to support other children in the same way. Over the years, I’ve continued to babysit younger cousins and family friends, giving me hands-on experience with kids of various ages whenever I have time with my technical wiritng positon. I naturally gravitate toward creating a nurturing, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm especially proud of teaching manners in fun, memorable ways, and I bring calm energy and warm encouragement to every interaction. Whether we’re playing games, learning something new, or just having silly moments, I’m there with love, laughter, and genuine care.

Children and I enjoyed many parents Biografia I prefer a position in which I am needed to help, not replace the parent, in an informal atmosphere. I am seeking a long-term position with a family. Ideally with an infant or young children. i am seeking a situation where I may build a rapport to supplement the parents. I am flexible and capable of doing any of the housework listed, but not at the expense of time with the children. I would also wish to find parents whose philosophy of childcare is in agreement with mine. Those who show their children constant love Those who accept them and respect them, shower them with attention when they want it, and limits only when they need them. Also, parents who will be there to show them the world and help to raise great kids. thank you, I LOVE WORKING TOGETHER and we will see your children grow healthy: physical & mental.

Hi! My name is Christina. I love working with kids and have experience caring for children ages 1 to 9. I have the most hands-on experience with babies and toddlers. I was a caregiver for my twin cousins when they were 1 year old, providing about 25 hours of care per week for 8 months. They also have an elementary-aged child so I am comfortable and experienced in taking care of up to 3 children at a time. I’m currently looking for a part-time babysitting or full-time nanny position and am available Monday - Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m (and am open to overnight care as well). I am also available to babysit on weekends, if needed. Right now, I work part time as an executive assistant for a tech company. Since the company is remote and most employees are from overseas, my schedule is very flexible and I can decide when to work during the day and what days. This makes balancing a nanny or babysitting role completely doable. I’m a University of Maryland graduate and a former Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I have also been CPR certified and am comfortable caring for children with special medical needs or disabilities. I am half European (Italian/Irish) and half Chinese. I lived in China/Taiwan for 10 years when I was a child and can speak Mandarin Chinese conversationally (I am not strong in reading and writing, but grew up speaking Chinese at home with my parents). In addition to general childcare, I can help with: -Academic tutoring (Math, English, history, etc.) - Light housekeeping - Bedtime/Bathtime routine - Meal Preparation - Driving to and from school or activities (I have my own car and 2 car seats suitable for children under 6) -Assisting with parties, playdates, or sleepovers I would describe myself as positive, reliable, and attentive. Some kids just need calm supervision after a long day, while others thrive on creative play, outdoor adventures, or educational games. I’m happy to provide both types of support and to tailor my approach to your family’s needs. Happy to provide references and any additional information that you may require!

I am a mother of two teenage boys, so have been parenting for about 15 years. Prior to becoming a mother, I was a nanny for many years while in college and graduate school and a babysitter while in middle and high school. I have CPR and 1St Aid Certifications and am highly experienced with dealing with any issues that may arise while caring for infants, young children, tweens and teens. I love supporting kids to play and learn from experiences (games, crafts, sports) but am also ready to support homework and school assignments. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and happy to feed them or take them for walks. I take family rules seriously and will work with the children to make sure that tasks and chores are completed when required.
