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 ?

Look no further you have found your ideal babysitter! Positive outlook, therapeutic art activities, patience and spirited energy is what I strive to bring to each child's experience connecting with me. With a background in Education, Integrative Nutrition, and over 6 years of hands on experience working with children of all backgrounds and ages I am always motivated to meet the needs of the children I babysit. Super passionate about the outdoors, art, and cooking! If given the opportunity I always like to provide age friendly activities with an intention of self-awareness and personal growth. Plus the overall enjoyment of experiencing something new. Currently hold an active certification in CPR and First Aid. Allow me the opportunity to babysit your next date night! Cheers. Amy Santis

Amy is a 10 out of 10 sitter. My sons felt immediately at ease with “Ms. Amy” who is calm and steady, but also fun and engaged. She took time to connect with my children, which was reassuring. She listened carefully during our interview, and her interactions with my sons were positive; they loved her. She provided references and her recent background check. Amy was professional, and asked solid questions to ensure her approach would align with my preferences for my sons. Will work with her again!

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.

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.

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 :)!

Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with our 4 year old! He immediately took to her and there were no tears when we left. She even brought over some fun stickers and crafts to play with. Cheryl is very thoughtful and communicative. We'd love to have her look after our little one again.

Hello, I’m a highly educated graduate of Virginia Tech University and have recently retired from an extremely successful & fulfilling IT Sales career. I have more than 11 years of experience babysitting my 6 grandchildren, older children, and even twins. I am well-versed in taking the next step by making this my new part-time career! I'm extremely excited to learn 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, light housework, dog sitting, etc. I drive a “VERY safe & dependable” automobile and am typically VERY neat and organized. I assure you that you will NOT come home to a messy house. I enjoy getting creative with activities, whether it be crafting, playing games, taking fun walks, or a great game of hide & seek! I will always be very organized with tracking school homework & projects. I'm patient and kind and absolutely love building connections with young children as well as teens. I'm excited to combine my love for children & creativity with a part-time Babysitter role. My goal will be to make sure your children have a very safe and loving environment whenever I am with them. Let’s create wonderful childhood memories “together”. I’m looking forward to hearing from you! (I am available Monday – Friday 9 am – 4 pm and some weekends) KK
