I have been babysitting for six years, caring for children ranging from 0 to 12 years old, and working with kids from diverse backgrounds. Currently, I am employed under a babysitting agency where I have received professional childcare training and am CPR certified. In addition to my babysitting experience, I hold a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) license and have worked with children on the autism spectrum as well as those with learning disabilities. I am excited to bring my experience and passion for working with children to support your family! :)

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I have 19 years of childcare experience through babysitting, nannying, and early childhood education. I started babysitting at 14 years old and have always had a genuine passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at The Goddard School for four years as a Teacher Assistant, where I helped care for children in a structured classroom environment. My responsibilities included supporting daily routines, assisting with educational activities, supervising playtime, maintaining a safe and nurturing environment, and helping children learn and grow through positive engagement and consistency. My background in psychology, social science, early childhood education, and cybersecurity has helped me develop strong communication, organization, patience, reliability, and a deep understanding of child development and emotional support. Families describe me as dependable, patient, caring, and trustworthy. I love creating a warm, safe, and positive environment where children feel supported, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and parents and understand how important it is for families to feel confident and at ease with their childcare provider. I am also offering nannying care from my home in a smaller, personalized setting. This allows me to provide more one on one attention, a calm environment, structured routines, and individualized care to help each child feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the day. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Jessica has been a wonderful part of our family for many years! She cared for our child as a full-time nanny and continues to be our go-to for date nights and babysitting. Jess is loving, and dependable. We trust her completely with our family. Our child absolutely adores her and over the years she has truly become part of our family. We highly recommend Jess to any family looking for someone they can trust and rely on!

Hello, My name is Tracy, and I love being nanny! I have been a nanny for over 17 years now and have enjoyed every minute of it! Here is a little bit about me: I love the outdoors! I am an easy going, fun loving person who knows how to get things done with a positive attitude. I am a hard worker and dedicated. I pay attention to detail and love learning and growing. A bit about my experience as a nanny: I have a lot of experience with kiddos over the years of being a nanny. I have watched twins, and kids with simple special needs, I have been responsible for getting kids to and from school and events, meals, and educational learning. I enjoy taking kids to museums, parks, and libraries, because it is wonderful to help kids learn and grow and explore. I love making every experience fun and a learning moment! I have watched kids as young as 2 months old up to middle school, and enjoy every age group. I have nannied for families as small as 1 child and up to 4 children. I feel comfortable with multiple kids and multiple ages. I care about safety and health, I am CPR and first aid certified. I don't mind doing simple tasks around the home. Simply put, I love what I do! I would be interested in talking to you more about what your family is looking for in a nanny and the possibility of seeing if I would be a right fit for your family! Thanks!

Tracy watched my 7 month in our hotel for a weekend conference. She was punctual and had no problem working around our crazy schedule. My kiddo can be a challenge but she took it all in stride. I would definitely hire her again and wished she lived close by to be a regular sitter. Thanks Tracy!

Hello!! My name is Norma, I am 40 years old and from Lima, Peru. I have over 6 years of nanny experience with newborns, toddlers, and children of up to 5 years of age. Currently I am in a full-time position looking after a 2 year old boy and a girl who just turned 4. I have been with this family since I moved to the US 2 years ago, but unfortunately they are moving abroad at the end of August, which is why I am looking for a new family. I am a positive and energetic mother of three boys and love taking care of children and watching them grow, helping them during their different developmental stages, playing with them, taking them outside (I love spending time outdoors with them!), doing arts and crafts with them, taking them to the library, and teaching them to be caring, social (the kids I currently look after have made the best playground friends), but also independent. I’ve been living in the United States for 2 years. I am fluent in Spanish and truly enjoy teaching my mother tongue to kids. My English is still a little bit basic but I am diligently studying it to get better every day. I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, and stable environment for your little ones. I can help with light children related household tasks such as doing dishes, laundry, and some light cooking. Feel free to message me if you’re interested. Thank you!!!!

Norma is a calm, kind, nurturing, and trustworthy caretaker. She has been a full-time nanny for our boy/girl twins for more than a year, starting when they were 22 months and staying with us until they turn 3 and start school in the fall. She’s helped them through dropping a nap, potty training, and all of the big feelings of toddlerhood. I’m impressed with how patient, calm, and steady she is with two energetic kids. We also have a 9-year-old who LOVES Norma, so I know she would be great with older kids as well. She quickly made friends with other nannies in our neighborhood and took the twins out every day to story times, playgrounds, museums, and libraries. She’s very active and intentionally teaches them, reads to them, and engages them in play. She’s comfortable taking the kids on public transit, and also walks far distances to get them out and about. Norma speaks Spanish and is learning English, and I’m thrilled that my kids are growing up bilingual. Every day she sends pictures and videos so I can see what they’re up to, and before leaving she provides details about their eating, nap, and diaper/potty for the day. I work from home often so I know that she was very present and engaged with my kids. She is also trained in CPR/First Aid and is always on guard. Because our son has a peanut/pistachio allergy, she is attentive and highly protective of what he’s exposed to everywhere they go. As a result, she’s never had to use the epipen though she knows where it is at all times. Wrangling two boisterous kids is tough work, but she handles them with grace and ease, always keeping them safe and being aware of where they are and what they’re up to (despite their best efforts!). Norma is reliable, communicative, and punctual. On the rare occasions her bus was running late, she always let us know quickly and conversely, she was very flexible and understanding when we’d be running late to get home and take over for her. We had a wonderful partnership, and we’re really going to miss her. I highly recommend Norma for any babysitting or nannying jobs!

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.

Rachel was incredible with our children (ages 4, 8, and 9)! The kids said they had a wonderful time with her and enjoyed an evening of playful activities and a good meal. Rachel was kind and communicative with us leading up to her visit as well as throughout the evening. She sent photos of the children having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Ms. Rachel and would happily work with her again!

We are beyond grateful to Isabel. Before she came into our lives, our 6 month old was not on a sleeping or feeding schedule. We were miserable and only getting 2-3 hours of sleep. Within a few days of working with us, she fixed his schedule and he was easily sleeping 8-9 hour stretches. She also joined us on very short notice. We are indebted to Isabel. Highly highly recommend.
