Clifford B., Babysitter in Potomac, MD 20854 with 20 years of paid experience

I am certified in Infant/Child CPR and First Aid for Infant/children and adults. I am a student at Liberty University majoring in Early Childhood Education also I do hold an Child Development Associate(CDA). I have been a teacher's assistant for 10 plus years. I have worked in a childcare center and public & charter schools in the Washington, DC metro area. I promote a safe and healthy learning environment. I have an ample amount of experience with children ages 3 months to 14 years olds. Children love me because I understand them, but I also am firm when the situation arises. My skills and abilities come naturally and I am confident that parents wouldn't mind leaving their child(ren) in my care. I love to cook, engage in creative projects, read stories, and enjoy outdoor activities. I have been through a FBI background check/National Child Registry/State & Local checks also the Criminal Background check as well. I have an four (4) hour minimum care service. (3 hours at the least.) I look forward to assisting your family needs.

Clifford did a wonderful job with my infant son. My mom, who is a retired nurse, was around to observe and said he did the best job out of multiple sitters we have had. Punctual, responsive, sweet and completely reliable.

Sherry M., Babysitter in Potomac, MD 20854 with 30 years of paid experience

Hi Moms and Dads thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Sherry living in Gaithersburg Md. I have worked as a babysitter /nanny for over 40yrs. I worked for family's all over Montgomery County . I have work with preemies, new-born, toddlers and school age children. I have had experience with down syndrome children and one that requires a feeding tube. As a nanny I want your child/children to know that I am there to keep them safe and give love while their parents work. I will protect them as if they are my own. I read, sing song, go out, do craft and get down on the floor, and play. I enjoy going to story time and other activities. Sorry, I don't do public pools. I have travel with my family's to other states. I even travel to Spain with one of my family and stayed for 2months. I also do short term jobs and long term. My last family I was with for 3 years. I try to to support my family's as much as I can, whether it's a emergency or something else. I like to build a bond with the kids that I take care of so they feel safe and love at all times. Yes this is a job but how can you spend time with beautiful kids and not love on them. I do have my own car seats less then 2yrs old and kept clean. They are Graco.

We have enjoyed having Sherry serve as our nanny for our little daughter. She has a calm demeanor and my daughter quickly took a liking to her and felt comfortable in her presence. Sherry is very communicative and proactive in providing useful tips to assist with overall care of our baby and pointing out areas of concern for collaboration on what the best next step would be for our daughter. We truly appreciate having her as our nanny.

Ms. Rhonda has been an incredible support to our family. Her help with overnight care allowed me to get the rest I needed so I could show up as the best mom possible for my child. She is caring, attentive, and truly thoughtful in the way she provides care. Knowing my baby was in such capable and compassionate hands gave me complete peace of mind. I am deeply grateful for her and highly recommend her.

Paige C., Babysitter in Potomac, MD 20854 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi there, my name is Paige and I am a recently-departed fed about to graduate from my evening law program. During this time of transition & bar prep, I am looking for casual gigs on weekends and evenings. I am also open to and have experience with overnight care. I have worked as an English tutor in Lithuania, South Africa, and the U.S., a YMCA camp counselor, and a Merit Badge Counselor for the Boy Scouts of America. I grew up volunteering in my hometown of PGH, PA, and honor that practice whenever possible at my favorite DC organizations: We are Family and N Street Village. As a creative and daughter of an elementary school teacher, I prioritize outdoor activities, virtual-free games and mindfulness when interacting with children. I live a very active lifestyle as a yoga teacher, avid cyclist and strength trainer. I love to read, write, and care for my suspiciously large houseplants. I am respectful of all religions, races, and orientations, though my views on cats as the superior housepet are extremely biased. I look forward to working with you and your family.

Andy M., Babysitter in Potomac, MD 20854 with 12 years of paid experience

Hello parents!  I enjoy working with kids of all ages, and love watching them learn.  I've been sitting for many families (50+) in the area for the last few years, and I also have a Masters of Education (Elem. Ed.) from George Mason.  Over the past 14 years I’ve worked with children in a variety of roles, including:  -- Occasional babysitting (2010-2024) - Ages 2-10 -- FCPS - Internship (3rd/5th grade) and sub teaching (2010-2013) -- Private tutoring Since I am a male sitter, I’d be a great fit for those with boys that like to build legos, conduct science experiments, and play outdoor games and sports!  I also enjoy and have lots of experience babysitting younger children and toddlers, as young as 30 months. Note: I prefer to babysit for children between the ages of 2.5-10.    Since I currently work full time, my schedule is limited to just occasional afternoons, evenings and weekends. I consider myself professional, caring, reliable, and fun!  I have a variety of good references and all the sitter basics: [background check, transportation, non-smoking, references, etc.]    Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Andrew watched our 4-year-old and 18-month-old boys, and he was absolutely fantastic. He arrived prepared with crafts, toys, board games, and plenty of creative activities to keep them engaged and entertained. He has a calm, positive demeanor, and both of our boys connected with him right away. Andrew is incredibly patient, attentive, and reliable, and he followed all of our instructions carefully, especially when it came to their bedtime routine. We felt completely at ease knowing our children were in his care. We highly recommend Andrew and would gladly hire him again.

Alisa H., Babysitter in Potomac, MD 20854 with 30 years of paid experience

I was a babysitter for my extended family and neighbors during my teenage years and as a college graduate. I continued babysitting through graduate school (for education and counseling)and into my early adult years. Even now, as an adult, I still enjoy babysitting because I love children. I have been a teacher in early childhood and elementary schools, as well as a summer camp counselor and director, for many years. As a result of my job in education, I have undergone and cleared several criminal background checks. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, and I have my own car. I enjoy doing schoolwork, participating in sports, playing games, and engaging in arts and crafts with children. I enjoy being positive, creative, and engaging with kids because they have wonderful imaginations, and I love having fun with them. I try to teach children a great deal, but I also always learn a great deal from them! It's always a win-win situation.

Maria has been our children's nanny for 4.5 years and has been an incredible addition to our family. We have appreciated the nurturing guidance she has offered to our children and the genuine, heartfelt, warm, and affectionate care she provides every day. She will be dearly missed. We strongly recommend Maria for a nanny position and would be happy to provide a reference on her behalf if you have any questions.
