We had a wonderful experience with our manny this summer. He spent many days caring for my son and created such a fun, active, and nurturing environment that it honestly felt better than sending him to summer camp. He kept my son engaged by getting him moving, dancing, playing outside, and reading together every day. He brought great energy, patience, and creativity, and my son truly looked forward to their time together. He was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I always felt confident knowing my son was safe, happy, and learning through play and connection. I would absolutely recommend him to any family looking for a dedicated and engaging caregiver.

Amanda C., Babysitter in Cheltenham, MD 20623 with 13 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a former special education teacher with over six years of classroom experience, and caring for children has always been more than a job for me, it’s something I truly love. Today, I focus on providing thoughtful, one‑on‑one support as a babysitter and tutor, helping children feel safe, confident, and supported while they learn and grow. When babysitting, I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I enjoy building meaningful connections through play, conversation, and routine whether that means reading books before bedtime, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, or helping kids wind down after a busy day. I’m attentive to routines like meals, homework time, and bedtime, and I approach transitions with patience and care, especially for children who benefit from extra structure or reassurance. As a tutor, I support children with homework, skill-building, and learning routines in ways that feel encouraging rather than stressful. I break tasks into manageable steps, use visuals or hands‑on activities when helpful, and celebrate effort and progress along the way. For example, I might turn math practice into a game, help a child organize their assignments with a simple checklist, or use drawing and writing prompts to strengthen reading and writing skills while keeping things engaging. I’ve worked with children of all ages and abilities, and my background in special education helps me tailor my approach to each child’s learning style, energy level, and needs. Families often tell me they appreciate my kindness, consistency, and clear communication, as well as the balance I strike between structure and fun. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and playful space where children feel supported, capable, and cared for and where parents feel confident knowing their child is in loving, reliable hands. If you’re looking for a babysitter and tutor who will treat your child with genuine care and make the day a little brighter, I would love to connect.

Iyana D., Babysitter in Cheltenham, MD 20623 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Carla was so sweet and nice! She was on time and even brought her puppet collection for our son to play with; which he just loved. She sent us pictures of him while we were out and was just a delight to have as our sitter. We would definitely recommend Carla for any of your sitter needs!

Kayla T., Babysitter in Cheltenham, MD 20623 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

There is not a worry in my mind, I can go about my day knowing that my kids are in good hands. Kayla I well-versed with kids of all ages. I’m very proud to call Kayla one of my best sitters. Book her for your needs but leave some availability for me too!

Faith was a godsend for our family. She was reliable, professional, and in-tune with our daughter's needs. She was never late and was always flexible with us. We trusted her to care for our daughter the same way we would and she more than delivered on that. Faith took detailed notes of each day so we were always on the same page. Faith proved herself a superb caretaker, cultivating a wonderful relationship with our daughter. We are saddened we could not keep her longer, but we are moving away. Faith is an excellent choice for those in need of quality care.

We hired Nicole in March ‘25 and she currently still Nannie’s for us. She was a gem we stumbled on! We were so lucky to find her. She started taking care of our babygirl at 3 months and now she’s a toddler. Nicole is compassionate, caring, nurturing and amazing with our little girl. She has read to her from day one and has worked with us for her to achieve her milestones; from helping us to teach her to roll, to tummy time, to her drinking from an open and straw cup, Nicole has helped us without crossing boundaries. She is also in tune with our girl and learned her cues which has been helpful for our babygirl too. She’s respected our schedule and followed it as well, even with the changes we make. Nicole is not just a typical nanny, she truly cares for the intellectual development of a child and we have benefitted greatly from it. I highly recommend her. I always love the updates throughout the day and the final check in when I come home. I highly recommend her!

Claudia T., Babysitter in Cheltenham, MD 20623 with 7 years of paid experience

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.
