Vivian C., Babysitter in Cooksville, MD 21723 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi there!! My name is Vivian, and I absolutely love working with kids and can’t wait to meet your little ones! I have 9 years of babysitting experience caring for children ranging from infants to 10 years old. I’m reliable, patient, and passionate about creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or simply making sure your child feels happy and cared for, I always strive to provide the best care possible. I also have experience as a high school and elementary math and ELA tutor, so I’m more than happy to assist with schoolwork and learning activities. Safety is always my top priority, and I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families peace of mind while their children are in my care. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and cooking, which I often incorporate into babysitting to keep children engaged and having fun. I’m also comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and caring for pets if needed. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones!

“Bibian” as my 2 year old daughter calls her was awesome every time she sat with my kiddos. I cannot recommend this babysitter enough! From the very beginning, she was dependable, kind, patient, and incredibly attentive with my children. She created such a safe, fun, and comforting environment that my kids genuinely looked forward to spending time with her. She communicated well, showed up on time, and always went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. As a parent, having someone you can fully trust with your children brings so much peace of mind, and she absolutely provided that. My children adored her, and it was clear she truly cared about them and their well-being. Any family would be lucky to have her as their sitter. I’m beyond grateful for the care, support, and positive energy she brought into our home. Save some bookings for me ?

Additionally, I just graduated in May 2022 from Hampton University where I earned a B.A. in Speech-Language Pathology. I aspire to work with children and open my own practice one day!

Elsa J., Babysitter in Cooksville, MD 21723 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Elsa and I'm a 25 year old Certified Nursing Assistant / Certified Patient Care Technician. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I grew up in a big family so my experience with babysitting began in my own home and with close family. Over the years I have worked with many families with all kinds of backgrounds. I have been a babysitter, dog walker, tutor and mother's helper. I have experience in working with children that range from a toddler to teenager. With that being said, I love being around kids, babies and pets! I have also been a camp counselor, and a Montessori school teacher's assistant in the past. I work at Johns Hopkins which consists of working in every unit in the hospital with the main ones being Pediatrics and Psych. I'm an energetic responsible individual who goes out my way to provide a fun, safe/clean, and stimulating environment for children. My outgoing personality and background with arts helps me connect with the imaginative and creative sides that all children have. I’m starting school again therefore I look forward to go back to being a babysitter/nanny again. I hope to speak soon :)!

Hi there! I have 25 years of experience as a babysitter, and have worked in day care centers, as well. I'm CPR/First Aid certified. I work full time during the week (at night). I'm available to babysit on Saturday and Sunday evenings*, and I can stay as late as 3:00 a.m. I am sometimes available on short notice, although it's more likely I'll be available to babysit if I'm asked in advance. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! *Time of day can be flexible to a degree, but evenings are when I'm most often available. 😊

Vickie was the first sitter that we hired to watch our twins. She's the only person I've trusted outside of family with them. She communicates extremely well, she's always on time and is wonderful to have watching my boys. She's even able to somehow put my two twins who are two years old and pretty against sleep with us some days right to bed with no issues too! She's great with our twins, they opened right up to her, she plays with them and reads with them too. She genuinely cares, and I really love having her around. I'm so happy that I found her. I don't know what I would have done without Vickie

Olive Y., Babysitter in Cooksville, MD 21723 with 19 years of paid experience

Hello! After 16 months caring for a wonderful baby girl who is now starting daycare, I am looking for a new full-time position with a loving family. I have a soft spot for babies and truly enjoy caring for them. I bring over 19 years of experience, and caring for children is more than a job for me — it’s something I do with my whole heart. I also help with light housekeeping and cooking to support the whole family. I am a fluent French speaker and speak limited English. However, many families have found this to be a positive — the little girl I’ve cared for recently now says several words in French! I don’t just meet a baby’s basic needs — I actively engage with them through creative play, singing, and activities that support early language development. I love singing to babies and watching how they light up with joy during interactive play. Helping little ones learn and grow through connection and care is something I truly enjoy. I’m reliable, nurturing, and ready to bring love and support to a new home. I’m happy to provide references from my current family. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more. 💕

We love Olive! It's quite obvious that her gift is taking care of babies. She cared for my six month old and he loved her soothing energy and playfulness. The one thing we loved about her was her attention on our baby. Some people just do the bare minimum to make sure the baby is fed, clean, etc, but Olive actually engages plays and sings to the baby constantly. It's so sweet. We 1000% recommend her.

Sherry M., Babysitter in Cooksville, MD 21723 with 30 years of paid experience

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.

We have enjoyed having Sherry serve as our nanny for our little daughter. She has a calm demeanor and my daughter quickly took a liking to her and felt comfortable in her presence. Sherry is very communicative and proactive in providing useful tips to assist with overall care of our baby and pointing out areas of concern for collaboration on what the best next step would be for our daughter. We truly appreciate having her as our nanny.

From the moment she came for the interview, I could tell she genuinely cared about children. She was so warm, professional, and easy to talk to. What stood out the most was her willingness to jump right in and offer to start that same night, which truly meant a lot to our family. She stayed with my children, treated them with kindness, patience, and care, and made them feel comfortable almost immediately. My kids responded so well to her, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She went above and beyond, not just as a babysitter, but as someone who truly showed compassion and reliability when we needed it most. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.

Karen K., Babysitter in Cooksville, MD 21723 with 11 years of paid experience

Hello there, My nickname is "KK" and I'm a highly educated graduate of Virginia Tech State University with a BS degree. I've recently retired from an extremely successful & fulfilling IT Sales career. I’m very excited about my new role in childcare as a babysitter for infants, children and teens! I have more than 11 years of babysitting experience watching my six grandchildren, teens as well as twins! I'm extremely excited to learn more about your family and how I can "make a difference" in your children's lives as they certainly will in mine. I'm skilled in snack & meal prep, homework, diaper changes, sleep strategies, housework assistance, dog sitting, etc. Also, I drive a “VERY safe & dependable” automobile and am VERY neat and organized. I assure you that you will NOT come home to a messy home. After homework is completed & checked, I enjoy getting creative with regards to activities for babies and young children. Maybe playing with educational toys, some crafting, taking fun walks or a great game of hide & go seek! Older kids & teens often enjoy throwing the football around outside, video game challenges, etc. Young girls often enjoy baking, journaling, scrapbooking, or making their own jewelry. During the summer, the pool is always a great option. Culinary activities of cooking together can be fun for everyone! Preparing simple meals like personal pizzas or tacos allows for practical skill-building. Baking cookies or brownies is a classic activity that yields a rewarding treat for all! I'm extremely patient and kind and absolutely love building connections with young children as well as teens. More than anything let's have some fun! Also, I have completed and passed my Driving Record and Background check and will gladly send you the results if requested. I'm extremely excited to combine my love for infants, children & teens with a babysitting role for a loving family. My goal will be to ensure that your children have an extremely safe and loving environment whenever I am with them. Let’s create wonderful childhood memories “together”. I am available Monday – Friday for 4 hour shifts as well as some evening and weekend hours. I have a small dog at home and can't leave her unattended all day for long periods of time. Fondly, KK
