Hi! My name is Michaela-Joyce, and I’m a proud graduate of Howard University, where I studied Bioethics with minors in Chemistry and Political Science. Babysitting has always held a special place in my heart; it’s the one job that consistently brings joy to my day! With over seven years of experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to high schoolers, in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycares, and church nurseries. I also have four years of experience working with children on the autism spectrum, creating tailored activities to meet their unique needs. Currently, I work at a nonprofit helping kids with mental health and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the Prince George’s County School District. I’ve completed a background check and fingerprinting for the state of Maryland and DC as part of my job, so you can trust that I’m thoroughly vetted. I love sparking creativity through fun, innovative, and engaging activities, especially those centered around art or STEM, to keep their imagination alive. Safety is my top priority; I’m CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified and fully vaccinated, including boosters. With a flexible schedule, I’m excited to bring my nurturing, reliable care to your family. I can’t wait to connect and help create wonderful memories with your little ones!

Janice was very sweet and my little ones really liked her. She was also very flexible when I came home significantly later than planned. I would definitely use her again.

Hello! My name is saniyah and i am a sophomore at Bowie State University! i love children and seeing them smile warms my heart. I love working with children because they make me feel safe and happy, i could be having the worst day ever and seeing a kid smile or laugh can make my day 10x better. I have worked in a daycare for about a year and a half on & off. I also babysit my siblings/cousins. Something that is different about me is the love i have for children and how soft and gentle i am with them. I think children should be treated with respect and tons of love/care.

Wonderful babysitter—always on time, so gentle and soft with our toddler. She keeps him happy! Just a tad more TV than ideal, but still a lovely experience. Highly Recommend.

I am a CPR, First Aid, and AED certified childcare provider with over 4 years of experience working with children and seniors in both school and assisted living settings. Most recently, I worked as a caregiver where I provided compassionate support including personal care, mobility assistance, meal preparation, and companionship. I also worked as a Child Care Aide, supporting school-aged children with homework help, structured activities, behavior support, and after-school care. I have experience with toddlers and school-age children, and I am comfortable supporting daily routines such as meals, bedtime, learning activities, and emotional regulation. I also have experience working with individuals with disabilities, which has strengthened my communication and adaptability capabilities. I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and confident while giving parents peace of mind. I am dependable, decisive, and committed to providing consistent, high-quality care.

We had a great experience with Tenayie as our babysitter for our daughter. She was always punctual, professional, and easy to communicate with. Our daughter warmed up to her quickly and seemed very comfortable in her care. She was patient, attentive, and kept her engaged with fun activities while maintaining her routine. We always felt at ease knowing our daughter was safe and well cared for. We also appreciated her reliability for occasional and last-minute help. She was calm, dependable, and consistently showed great responsibility. We would definitely recommend Tenayie to other families and would happily hire her again without hesitation.

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.
