Hi there! I'm Maria, and I’d love to help care for your little ones!! With a heart full of patience and a genuine love for children, I bring over 5 years of experience to babysitting. Whether it’s playtime, helping with homework, or simply being a comforting presence, I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your kids. I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs and interests. I enjoy quality time with the kids so I’m always ready to get creative with a plan or game ideas (puzzles, pillow castles, arts and crafts, visits to a museum, home spa time, cook a recipe or big legos towers). My goal is to not just look after your kids, but to help them feel happy and secure while you’re away. If you're looking for a trusted, kind, and playful babysitter, I’d love the opportunity to meet and chat! (Quick note I’m Infant qualified, I have a CPR and First Aid certification)

Hi! Previously a 1st grade teacher for 3 years, before that, a preschool teacher for 3 years and in infant care 2. My years experience as a teacher gave me the opportunity to run and operate my own learning pod (daycare) in my home for 3 years while I was living in Hawaii due to my husbandbeing in the Navy. Overall I've been working with children, infants to middle school for about 12 years now. I recently moved to Maryland, and though I won't be opening a pod while I'm here, I am looking forward to helping out where I can!

Greeting Families, I am passionate about children. I am caring, energetic, diligent, and a dedicated person. I graduated with an degree in Early Childhood Development. I have come to the realization that every child is created in their own unique way. I have experience of caring for children over night, and overnight infant nursing care. The ranges of children that I have cared for is from newborn to high school. I come from a large family, so I know what it means to multitask and get the job done! I also have reliable transportation, and do not mind being around pets. Over the years, I have taught in a private school (kindergarten, first grade, second grade). I hope to provide you and your family care soon!

Babysitting has always held a special place in my heart; it’s the one job that consistently brings joy to my day! With over seven years of experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to high schoolers, in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycares, and church nurseries. I also have four years of experience working with children on the autism spectrum, creating tailored activities to meet their unique needs. Currently, I work at a nonprofit helping kids with mental health and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the Prince George’s County School District. I’ve completed a background check and fingerprinting for the state of Maryland and DC as part of my job, so you can trust that I’m thoroughly vetted. I love sparking creativity through fun, innovative, and engaging activities, especially those centered around art or STEM, to keep their imagination alive. Safety is my top priority; I’m CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified and fully vaccinated, including boosters. With a flexible schedule, I’m excited to bring my nurturing, reliable care to your family.

Hello! I bring over ten years of experience working as a trusted babysitter. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families by providing dependable, attentive care to children while also helping keep their homes running smoothly and efficiently. As a babysitter, I do more than supervise—I engage children with patience, warmth, and creativity, making sure they feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for in your absence. Whether it’s helping with homework, playtime, bedtime routines, or offering comfort during transitions, I understand the importance of nurturing each child’s unique needs. Alongside childcare, I also offer support with laundry, errands, and pet care. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and fully vaccinated (COVID-19, Flu, and Tdap). I’m currently seeking part-time, occasional, one-time, and date-night opportunities where I can bring my experience, reliability, and care into your home. Thank you for your time
