Hello! My name is Tiffany. I am a forty-year-old military spouse. I recently moved to Bel Air. I have three children; a twenty-five year old daughter, a fifteen-year-old son, and an ten-year-old son. I am a registered nurse. I am certified in Pediatric & Adult CPR, First Aid, and Basic Life Support. I have been providing care for children since I was twelve years old. I would provide care for a lot of my neighbors, friends, family, and friends of my family members. They would refer me to anyone they knew who was looking for childcare. Since my husband has been in the military, we have lived in Tampa for four years, Hawaii for four years, Texas for one year, Washington state for two years and now back in Maryland. While residing at these locations, I have provided care for a few of the military families that I had the pleasure of meeting. I provide care in my home because it allows me to be available for my children as well if there are any changes with school or if they need to stay home. However, I am open to possibly providing care in your home depending on the day, time, and situation. We can discuss if that would be an option. My house is very safe and child-friendly with plenty of toys and age-appropriate activities to keep your children entertained. I like to incorporate learning into play to make learning fun and can provide homework help. If you're interested, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you to see if I can help meet all of you and your family's needs. Thank you for your time and have a blessed day!

Tiffany is absolutely amazing and has been a God send to me in my time of need. She's caring, like, patient and welcoming. She has a beautiful family and home , and is extremely accommodating. She's provided exceptional care thus far, and I am positive we will continue to. I am grateful to have found her on Sittercity & would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

As a dedicated childcare provider, I am passionate about fostering bright futures and nurturing individuals of all backgrounds. With a Bachelor’s degree in Human Ecology and Master’s Child Development, I bring both educational knowledge and practical experience to my role as a nanny. I have over 5 years of experience working in various childcare settings, including schools and private homes, where I've developed a deep understanding of children's needs. My previous roles have included teaching 1st grade at Loftin Love Academy, where I created engaging lesson plans and fostered an inclusive atmosphere for all students. In addition to my teaching experience, I have provided childcare through Sittercity, managing schedules, planning activities, and supporting children with individualized education plans (IEPs). I hold certifications in CPR, AED, and First Aid, and I am committed to promoting safety and well-being in every interaction. I believe in creating fun, educational, and supportive environments for children, where they can learn, grow, and express themselves. I am excited to bring my skills and compassionate approach to families, ensuring a nurturing and enriching experience for children.

Kel helped us out on weekdays for a month (Jan. 2022) when we were in a bind. She was wonderful and we really miss her! She was so patient with the kids (5 and almost 2) and kept them safe. She loved playing with them and knew how to set appropriate boundaries when their behavior slipped. She did very well sticking to their schedule and keeping them in their routine. My family greatly benefited from her help and the kids loved her. Her education background really came through in using different communication strategies and educational activities with the kids. I could tell she truly enjoys working with children. Don’t miss the opportunity to have her work with your child!

Hello! My name is Veronica, and I am excited about the opportunity to provide dependable, compassionate childcare for your family. I bring a wealth of experience and unique skills to the table: Bilingual: I speak both English and Spanish, which allows me to engage and communicate with children in either language. Family Care Experience: As an older sister to an autistic brother, I have firsthand experience caring for children, including those with special needs. This has taught me patience, understanding, and the ability to adapt to different situations. Pet-Friendly: I am a dog owner, so I am comfortable around pets and happy to assist with their care if needed. Household Skills: Having lived independently for some time, I am capable of handling basic house chores such as cooking, cleaning, vacuuming, and more. Transportation: I have my own reliable car, making transportation convenient and ensuring punctuality. Flexible and Accommodating: As a college student, I am willing to work with parents to create a schedule that fits their needs. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children while helping families with the support they need. I look forward to the possibility of working with you!

Hi, my name is Jennifer , but prefer to be called Jenn ! I have been working with children for over 8+ years as a nanny and have 3 years of experience as a childcare teacher, including experience as a lead teacher. I have cared for children ranging from infant–teenaged and have experience supporting children through different stages of development. I am also a mom to a preschooler! As a childcare teacher, I have helped children develop early literacy skills, including reading and writing, and have enjoyed preparing young children for preschool. I love creating activities that are both fun and educational while allowing children to explore their creativity and interests. Some of my favorite activities to do with children include painting, drawing, reading books, and playing with toys. I am very sweet, calm-natured, patient, and nurturing. I believe children thrive when they feel loved, supported, and encouraged, so I always strive to create a safe and positive environment where they can be themselves. When challenges or big emotions come up, I use gentle redirection and help children calm down and work through their feelings in a supportive way. I also have experience helping children reach important milestones, including potty training.

Taryn who is passionately known in our house as Ms T is an absolute pleasure to work with. My daughter loves her and so do we as parents. Ms T is a great communicator, always punctual and overall shows she has a care not only for our daughter but our family. We were so sad when our daughter transitioned to a daycare center and we were no longer working with Ms T. We still keep communication because of the great relationship we built during her time with us. She helped us tremendously as first time parents! I can say so many great things about Ms T and any family would be soo fortunate to have her apart of you and your kid’s lives!!!!

I’ve built lasting, trusting relationships with both children and parents by being dependable, patient, and proactive. I take pride in creating routines that balance education, creativity, and play, ensuring that each child’s unique needs are met. My experience also includes handling light household duties, meal preparation, and organizing activities that keep children active and engaged. I’m passionate about fostering a positive and encouraging environment where children feel safe, valued, and confident. Throughout my career, I’ve continuously sought to expand my knowledge in child development and best practices to ensure I’m providing the best care possible. My dedication to the well-being of children, along with my ability to adapt to new family dynamics, has allowed me to build strong, supportive relationships with both parents and children alike. I love to cook/bake, spend time outdoors, plays sports, and write!

Perri is a kind and good hearted young woman. Our kids enjoyed their time with her. They had a lot less tantrums once Perri took over virtual school from full-time working Mom and Dad.
