As a dedicated childcare provider, I am passionate about fostering bright futures and nurturing individuals of all backgrounds. With a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies, focusing on Human Ecology, and currently pursuing my Master’s in Human Ecology with a specialization in 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 also worked as a Mental Health Worker at Sheppard Pratt, helping vulnerable individuals thrive through encouragement and support. 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!

Hi & Welcome to my profile! My name is Irene and I'm 37 years old. I have worked with children of all ages for about 19 years now. I also have several references. I truly enjoy working with kids and getting to know families. I'm also understanding of any specific rules or preferences parents or children have when they are with a babysitter. I also have lots of experience with families of different cultural backgrounds and life situations. I also have my own personal experience as well as professional experience within the adoption and foster care field. I have also worked with children with special needs before. I also prefer stable positions that match with my availability although I'm open to last minute positions as long as I'm available. I'm open to any questions and I hope to continue to meet families and be of help to them!

Hi! I’m Olivia, a freshman at Morgan State University in Baltimore Maryland, originally from California I will be returning to california May 14th , 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’ve worked as a part-time cooking teacher for children in pre-K through sixth grade, where I led creative, hands-on classes that helped me develop strong skills in keeping kids engaged, happy, and learning. In addition to my paid experience, I’ve had extensive informal experience caring for my 8-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!

I am pretty flexible and can start as early as this evening.

We can’t recommend Aliah enough! She was first sitter when our little girl was 4 months and stayed with us until she was ready to head to pre-k. Aliah quickly became apart of our family and our little girl’s best friend. While Aliah looked after her, they took trips to the park, local story times, tried fun hair styles, and sent us photos (which made our days so much better). As two parents with high expectations Aliah went above and beyond which frankly made our lives so much easier. Now that our girl is in pre-k, Aliah has offered to babysit to help out with date nights and there isn’t anyone else we’d trust to do it. Aliah is compassionate, caring, patient, and would be an amazing choice for any family.

Lakisha B.
From the moment she came for the interview, I could tell she genuinely cared about children. She was so warm, professional, and easy to talk to. What stood out the most was her willingness to jump right in and offer to start that same night, which truly meant a lot to our family. She stayed with my children, treated them with kindness, patience, and care, and made them feel comfortable almost immediately. My kids responded so well to her, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She went above and beyond, not just as a babysitter, but as someone who truly showed compassion and reliability when we needed it most. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.

Hi! My Name is Maggie Hales, I am an experienced caregiver looking for a full time summer child care position, as well as an occasional or afterschool childcare starting in MID august. I am a fully licensed Speech Language-Assistant working in the Baltimore City School System! I am offering my services as a full-time (speech specific) nanny from July 1st to August 7th. During the school year, I am also available for after school pick up, until any or all caregivers get off of work (2:30-6:00). During the school year with BCPS, I work primarily with children with special needs (ASD, neurodivergence -ADHD, down syndrome), at a local Primary School (ages 3-5). In college, however, I worked with a wide range of kids, meeting the needs in a more general education placement and school aged kiddos. Id LOVE to work with you to figure out the needs of your specific family dynamic, knowing that navigating the stress of finding a responsible and dedicated nanny, can be very challenging. Helping your 1's 2's and 3's with their ABC's, I've got your basics covered!

My favorite thing about Maggie is how patient and gentle she is with children, especially toddlers. Her background as a speech and language teacher is apparent and shines through when she interacts with children. Maggie’s got that just right balance of warmth and strength that puts kids (and adults) at ease and helps them to feel safe. I definitely recommend her.
