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 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!

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! 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!

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!!!!

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.

We hired Marissa back in 2021 when our first child was born. Initially, it was for a part-time nanny hire (we only needed her for 2-3 days/week). When we first spoke, she felt like someone we had known for a long time. Very personable, warm and honest. During her time with us, she has always been very dependable, always on time (if there ever was a delay, which was rare, she would notify me right away), and has been excellent with our 2 kids and 2 dogs. After we no longer needed a part-time nanny, she became our go-to babysitter. Marissa is excellent with handling tough situations (one child melting down, making sure the other is in a safe, contained space, etc). She makes our children feel safe and genuinely cared for. When it comes to disciplining a child, she was on the same page with us - stern but not harsh, no "punishments," connect/validate/teach, etc. We always have felt very safe and secure with our household in her hands. Marissa is sorely missed but she comes with the highest recommendations from all of us!

Alexandria was great to work with. She was prompt. Connected with my daughter immediately. Was very interactive and we had a great experience overall. My 2 year old said “that’s my friend” after Alexandria left. Thank you!
