Jess V., Babysitter in Germantown, MD 20874 with 10 years of paid experience

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!

Tracy P., Babysitter in Germantown, MD 20874 with 17 years of paid experience

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!

Rachel was excellent with our 8-month old daughter. We contacted her last-minute after our Nanny had called out for the whole week with short notice, and Rachel was able to cover the whole week. Our daughter is going through a major stranger-danger phase, so there was a lot of crying in the beginning. Rachel was great at staying calm and gently forming a bond and trust with our baby. By the end of the week, our daughter was beaming every time Rachel walked in the door. We definitely hope to use her services again in the future!

Hello, families of Maryland! My name is Nohelia, and I am an experienced, reliable caregiver excited to connect with a new family.

I bring multiple professional trainings, including CPR, First Aid, and Medication Administration, along with additional childcare and safety training.

I hired Nohelia through Sittercity three years ago to care for my preschooler, and it was truly one of the best decisions I made for my family. From the very beginning, she was professional, warm, and incredibly responsible. She created engaging, age-appropriate activities, maintained a safe and structured environment, and built a strong, trusting bond with my child. Her communication was always clear, respectful, and consistent, and she always went above and beyond to support our family’s needs. Over time, she also cared for my toddler and later my infant, handling each stage with confidence, patience, and genuine love. Nohelia is well educated, knowledgeable about child development, and attentive to every detail, from routines to developmental milestones. She is dependable, nurturing, and truly passionate about working with children. The only reason she is no longer working with our family is because we are moving out of state. We are incredibly sad to leave her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated sitter.

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.

Elsa J., Babysitter in Germantown, MD 20874 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Elsa and I am 25 years old as well as a current nursing student. The last two years, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant / Certified Patient Care Technician at Johns Hopkins, with the main units being Pediatrics and Peds Psychiatric. With that being said, 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'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 currently work as nanny during the week to balance school but I can help for date nights/outings. I hope to speak soon :)!

She is incredibly reliable, and my kids (3 and 5) love her! She babysits every Sunday morning, and takes the kids to the park and the library. She is the only babysitter that we trust to put our kids down for bed on time if she babysits at night because she’s exceptional at following routine.

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!
