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.

Hello Families! My name is Estefania Lucas, and I have had the privilege of working as a nanny for over 5 years. I am bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring a wealth of experience in caring for children of various ages and backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of working with several long-term families, providing high-quality care for children ranging from just 3 months old (including twins) up to 13 years old. I come from a large family, which has allowed me to develop a natural nurturing instinct and a genuine love for working with children. As a nanny, I take pride in creating fun, engaging, and enriching experiences for the children I care for. I am an outgoing and creative individual who enjoys outdoor activities such as walks, visits to the park, and exploring new places like museums, libraries, and beaches. I also love fostering creativity through hands-on activities like arts and crafts, painting and coloring, embracing the mess that often comes with creativity! If the parents are open to it, I also enjoy teaching children Spanish, helping them develop language skills in a fun and interactive way. My goal is to make your life easier by offering more than just childcare. In addition to caring for the children, I am more than happy to assist with household tasks, including: Washing and putting away dishes Preparing meals for the children Folding laundry Cleaning up after activities and playtime Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can support your family’s needs.

The kids had a lot of fun with Estefania. She was on time, patiently answered all our questions, and took great care of our children. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Hello! I’m Amarachi A. I’m a licensed social worker. I’m a fun-loving babysitter and I simply enjoy creating enriching experiences for kids. I run a summer camp in Baltimore so I have experience with up to 25 children at a time. I have been a private nanny for years as well so I have experience with all ages, from birth to age 16, as well as experience with dietary restrictions and medical complexities. Due to the nature of my current employment, I am background tested in the State of Maryland and am able to provide that documentation upon request. I look forward to caring for your children!

Hi! I’m Olivia, a sophomore at Morgan State University in Baltimore Maryland, originally from California , with four years of paid childcare experience. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I’m currently in school to become a nurse, and I would love to be a labor and delivery nurse. I have four years of paid childcare experience with children of all ages. I’ve been a overnight summer camp counselor for children and teens ages 6–17, where I supervised campers, led games and activities, encouraged teamwork, and helped create a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. In addition to my paid experience, I’ve had extensive informal experience caring for my 9-year-old younger brother and several younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable working with children of different ages and personalities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and always bring a positive attitude. Whether it’s crafts, playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m ready to jump in and help make your day a little easier!

My 2 year old loved Olivia! They played and did some activities together. She was very calming for my little one. My 2 year old even said “I like Olivia” after she left. Thank You!

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 there, I’m Makenzie! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I’m a responsible, devoted and dependable babysitter with 9 years of babysitting experience! Ages I’ve watched have ranged from 6 months - 13 years old. I have a true passion for babysitting and caring for children overall. This summer, I was a private nanny to a 9 month old and a 2 year old, while last summer I previously was a behavioral technician for children with autism. I’m currently working to become CPR and first aid certified because safety is a main priority for me. I want to create an environment that can feel comfortable, vibrant, calming, exciting, inviting, safe and secure for any children in my care. I love reading stories, playing games, helping with homework, building, creating, arts and crafts, sports playing, and any creative activities that’ll keep kids engaged and happy. I have a state registered drivers license, as well as a state registered Kia Sorento 2025, with plenty of space, quality technology, and no mechanical issues. I want parents to be able to discuss clear and open with me, so we can have confident and informal talks with one another. I’m aiming to make everyone involved feel at ease with each other! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

Ms. Sheri is a Godsend. I hired her for a sitting job for a family BBQ. Not only did she and her daughter sit for the two children in attendance but also were a tremendous help with prepping for the party and assisted in the kitchen and grill during the party. I will hire her again without hesitation.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for children, helping them learn, and watching them grow. Being a parent myself has taught me how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, supported, and understood. I enjoy creating a positive environment where children can have fun, express themselves, and feel comfortable while their parents are away. Caring for children has always come naturally to me, and I find it rewarding to make a positive difference in their lives. I have almost a lifetime of experience caring for children, both through personal experience, siblings/family members and raising my own 10-year-old child. Being a parent has given me firsthand experience with children’s daily routines, meals, hygiene, emotional needs, safety, and developmental stages. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, dependable, and nurturing. I am comfortable helping with age-appropriate activities, maintaining routines, preparing meals, and making sure children feel safe and cared for.

I love baby sitting because I love kids. I honestly enjoy talking with them, making them laugh, and being a safe place for them. I discovered my love for working with kids in freshman year of high school when I volunteered for Vacation Bible School at my church. As a station leader I would work with 30 preschoolers and I would help them with activities, facilitate meals and snack time, and ensure that they stayed safe and got along with each other. This volunteering experience required me to work with kids with health conditions and mental disabilities. I have worked with kids with autism and I have also working with diabetic children. At my church, I also have been volunteering as a Sunday school teacher for 30+ kids. The job mostly requires me to keep the kids engaged and keep the class fun and safe.
