Hi! I’m Iyana 😊 I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University with over 5 years of experience caring for children ages 4 months to 12 years. I’ve worked with infants through elementary-aged kids and also spent a year and a half teaching 8th grade, including supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I really enjoy babysitting because every child is different, and I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. I’m comfortable with transportation, sleep training/bedtime routines, and I’m very pet-friendly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games, karaoke, going on walks or hikes, and cooking together. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment for both kids and parents.

I’m new to SC! I recently joined after my primary family moved to Boston. I’m hoping to find a family who needs consistent care before my booking site fills up with one-time clients. Served as a Toddler Teacher for the U.S. House of Representatives. Started my career at our locally loved Young School of Waugh Chapel. Extensively and throughly trained to care for your family. Your needs & safety are my #1 priorities. I have some experience with infants, 5 years with Toddler & Preschool students.

Dear Families, Hello! My name is Sydney, and I am a dedicated, caring, and experienced childcare provider with many years of experience working with children of all ages. I was a Girl Scout for 12 years and attended sleepaway camp each summer, where I developed strong leadership, responsibility, and teamwork skills. I participated in the Counselor in Training Program for two summers and later served as a Junior Counselor. In this role, I assisted the Unit Counselor with planning and implementing activities, led and supported campers in age-appropriate programs, and corresponded with campers to encourage their personal growth and confidence. In 2019, I worked at Clinton Gymnastics, where I assisted with program planning based on recreational themes, provided emotional support and encouragement to campers, and helped maintain a clean and organized environment. I also have extensive childcare experience through caring for my younger sister, who is now 10 years old. I have helped care for her since infancy, supporting her daily routines, learning, and social-emotional development. I am a graduate of Morgan State University, where I earned a degree in Biology. This background, along with my current role as a second-grade teacher, has strengthened my ability to support children’s academic growth, curiosity, and love of learning. In my teaching role, I design engaging lessons, manage classroom routines, provide individualized support, and build strong relationships with children and families. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I take safety very seriously. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide quality care for your children. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you! Sincerely, Sydney

It is my pleasure to recommend Eri Stein as a babysitter or nanny. She has cared for my children many times, and she doesn’t just “watch” them—she joins in their world. My kids adore her. Whether playing at the park, learning a new card game, reading new books or inventing their own silly games together. Eri has a natural gift for making children feel seen, valued, and engaged. She keeps up with their energy, gets them laughing, and brings her joyful, positive presence every time. Eri is also attentive and thoughtful—she checks in about dietary needs and always ensures snacks and treats are safe and approved. As a parent, that care means so much. I know that when my children are with her, they are not only safe, but also having the best time. She is dependable, playful, caring, and full of life—the kind of person who makes kids excited for her next visit. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a wonderful babysitter or nanny. Sincerely, Jasmine A. Dickerson

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.
