Shantia J.
- 4 years paid experience
- 6 miles

I am an experienced babysitter with over 10 years of babysitting experience. Caring for ages newborn to preteens. I have been working part time as a substitute teacher at Safe Haven Babies LLC Day Care in Upper Marlboro Maryland for two years. Per the state of Maryland, I’ve had a background check completed. I have also trained and gotten certified in CPR/First Aid for Adults and Pediatric. During the pandemic I had the opportunity to tutor and help kids while they participated in virtual learning. For a short period of time, I also had the chance to assist as a volunteer at an Assisted living facility. I do light house keeping, along with cooking and can run necessary errands. I have reliable transportation. What I look forward to the most is helping out parents when they need an extra hand or simply needing a break from their everyday parenting life. For my pet lovers, I have experience with caring for household pets. I hope to eventually become bilingual and learn American Sign Language.

Hello dear Parents: I am seeking full time or late afternoons, weekends or as needed positions. For the last 7 years I have been caring little ones from infants to pre-kindergarteners and elementary kids. I also enjoyed thoroughly caring for little bundles of joy and working with first time parents. My last experiences are 15 weeks, 4, and 2 months old babies. My duties as a nanny are to feed (I can prepare food from scratch) their bottles of formula or breastmilk, change diapers, put them for naps, sleep training. I also play with the baby's toys to encourage them to grasp their toys and mentioning to them the colors, names, and sounds to promote cognitive development. I also put babies in tummy time so that their neck muscles get stronger day by day for later to roll over, sit up, and crawl. I have prepared healthy meals and I am very organized and like to be active with the kids. I also help them to get ready for bed and wait until parents arrive from work. I currently have Child Development Certification, SIDS, CPR and AED certified as well. Thanks for reading my profile. Ysabel

Hi I’m Mel! I am a special education teacher with a dual masters in Elementary Education & Special Education. I enjoy working with children of all abilities as long as they’re potty trained! Huge fan of minimizing screens, maximizing fun, getting outside, playing and being active with the kiddos :) of course we all need breaks and sometimes that includes screens/a yummy snack/a good story ((or whatever your family does to unwind! You tell me.) I prioritize meeting your littles where they’re at. And can’t wait to meet you soon!
