Nicole P., Babysitter in Lake Shore, MD 21122 with 22 years of paid experience

I am laid back, patient, encourage creativity and exploration, love to read and teach.From 2003 - 2009 I worked for several agencies that assist individuals with developmental disabilities. I love working with children, I have also worked at an elementary school in the guidance department, as well as nannied/babysat for several families for more than 10 years. I taught Sunday School at Saint Philip Neri parish from 1999-2009, ranging from 1st - 6th grades.  I have several years experience in a daycare setting.  My educational background is in psychology and human services. I have nannied for infants as young as 3 months, and the oldest child is now 15 years, who I care for occasionally on weekends. I am honest, reliable, and respectful.  I have several references available upon request. Unfortunately I have developed an allergy to dogs, and can not accept jobs that have dogs in the household. Other pets seem to be okay..

We live out of town, but Nicole sat for us a few times while we were in town, and she was wonderful with our son. She is a real natural with children, and our son loved her. Will definitely be calling her if we find ourselves in the area again!

I have 9 years experience with babysitting and child care ,which I was an after school sitter for several different families, for children from pre-school through the 7th grade. I have about 4 years experience working with children who have autism and/or a special disability. I babysit ages anywhere from infant to 13 years old. i have exactly 5 years experience with newborns-3 year olds. I absolutely love being around children and they LOVE being around me. They just bring absolute joy to my heart. I absolutely LOVE the outdoors. I am CPR certified ,I know basic Sign language and basic Spanish, I also have my own car and a clean driving record. I am very caring ,loving, trustworthy, patient and outgoing and love doing different activities that children will find entertaining and enjoy doing. Babysitting/nannying is something I love doing because everyday is something different and it’s absolutely amazing to be apart of a child’s learning and seeing them grow as a person. Families would describe me as someone with a pure heart & genuine intentions. Someone who is trustworthy & reliable & someone is is always in a positive mood. I became a caregiver because I love love love children. I absolutely adore them , they fill a special place in my heart and I love it. The love I have for children is out of this world and I’m more than happy that I make a HUGE POSITIVE impact on these children's lives. It means a lot to me !

Punctual kind and strong communication prior to the sitting, Rayne provided a seamless experience watching our 1.5 year old sleep while parents had a little date night. Can’t wait to have her back soon.

Mrs. Avis is wonderful. After a bad experience with a sitter I hired here she gave me hope that there are some good, caring, responsible caregivers out there. My 8 month old took to her very well. We will definitely be keeping her on speed dial.

Theresa Z., Babysitter in Lake Shore, MD 21122 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Theresa, a nurturing and reliable caregiver with over 10 years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve worked with families in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Arkansas providing full-time, part-time, and homework/homeschooling support. My approach is inspired by the Montessori method — encouraging independence, creativity, and confidence through hands-on learning and gentle structure. I love setting up engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that spark curiosity and joy while maintaining a calm, organized routine. I bring patience and consistency to every day. I previously worked as an assistant teacher at a Montessori school, and I hold a B.A. from Thomas More College of Liberal Arts. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I value creating a safe, positive environment where children can thrive emotionally and intellectually.

Theresa really stood out to us as someone who is extremely reliable and responsive. Theresa nannied for my 2.5 year old son, and we had a great experience. She planned fun activities and encouraged my son's development. She was very accommodating with her schedule to meet our needs. Theresa was always on-time and willing to jump in and offer up ideas for activities and goals. My son had a great time with Theresa and we highly recommend her for future positions!

Samayah J., Babysitter in Lake Shore, MD 21122 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Samayah, and I’m a sophomore college student in Charlotte, NC with several years of babysitting and childcare experience. Most recently, I worked as a full-time nanny in Baltimore for a 1.5-year-old child with special needs. I was responsible for his daily routines and helped support his growth and development, including working with him on his walking and communication skills. This experience taught me a lot about being patient, attentive, flexible, and understanding each child’s individual needs. I also regularly help care for an 11-year-old and a 5-year-old here in Charlotte, so I have experience with different ages and personalities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for children from infants through school-aged children. My experience includes meal preparation, diaper changes, homework help, bedtime routines, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, dependable, caring, and passionate about creating a safe and comfortable environment where children can have fun while also learning and growing. I currently do not have my own car, so I’m best suited for families who do not need their babysitter to provide transportation for their children. I’m available for weeknight and weekend care and would love the opportunity to connect with your family!

Samayah is an exceptional babysitter who is responsible, caring, and dependable. She has a natural ability to connect with children and always makes them feel comfortable and safe. Samayah is attentive to their needs, follows instructions carefully, and handles responsibilities with maturity and confidence. She keeps children engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities while maintaining a calm and structured environment. Parents can trust her to communicate clearly, arrive on time, and take her role seriously. I highly recommend Samayah to any family looking for a reliable and compassionate babysitter.

Ms. Sheri is a Godsend. I hired her for a sitting job for a family BBQ. Not only did she and her daughter sit for the two children in attendance but also were a tremendous help with prepping for the party and assisted in the kitchen and grill during the party. I will hire her again without hesitation.
