Find experienced babysitters in Cheltenham, MD

I am a 33 year old Early Childhood Major, who graduated from Georg Mason University with both my bachelors and masters in Education, and have a license to teach Pre-Kindergarten through Third Grade. I have received my Career Studies Certificate and my Infant and Toddler Certificate as well back in my days at NVCC. Back during my summers in high school I volunteered at the Thurgood Marshall Child Development Center in DC. I did over 500 hours there working in the toddler room, and occaisionally the Pre-K room. For a brief period during my college studies I also worked at the Cody Child Development Center on Fort Myer in the infant, toddler, and pre-k rooms. I have also consistently had my training in CPR/First Aid. I have babysat in many home settings now and would love to work with a new family! I live near Fair Oaks and would prefer to work for a family in the area if possible but if not that’s ok too! I do have a car so driving is not an issue.

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.

Hi! I’m Latoya (Monroe)—a reliable and trustworthy 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.

Hi there, my name is Paige and I am a recently-departed fed about to graduate from my evening law program. During this time of transition & bar prep, I am looking for casual gigs on weekends and evenings. I am also open to and have experience with overnight care. I have worked as an English tutor in Lithuania, South Africa, and the U.S., a YMCA camp counselor, and a Merit Badge Counselor for the Boy Scouts of America. I grew up volunteering in my hometown of PGH, PA, and honor that practice whenever possible at my favorite DC organizations: We are Family and N Street Village. As a creative and daughter of an elementary school teacher, I prioritize outdoor activities, virtual-free games and mindfulness when interacting with children. I live a very active lifestyle as a yoga teacher, avid cyclist and strength trainer. I love to read, write, and care for my suspiciously large houseplants. I am respectful of all religions, races, and orientations, though my views on cats as the superior housepet are extremely biased. I look forward to working with you and your family.

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.

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.

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.

I bring a unique combination of medical training, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with kids. Families can feel confident that I provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for their children.
