Estela H., Babysitter in Riverdale, MD 20737 with 20 years of paid experience

As a dedicated childcare provider with over two decades of experience, I am passionate about nurturing the growth and development of young minds. My journey into childcare began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered my knack for fostering a safe and stimulating environment for children. My patient and calm demeanor, coupled with my creative and imaginative nature, allows me to connect with children effortlessly. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, providing daily verbal updates during pickup.I firmly believe in following the parents' lead in enforcing household rules. With some high school education under my belt and certifications in First Aid and CPR Training, I am well-equipped to handle any situation that may arise.

Hi there! My name is Unique, and I’m absolutely passionate about creating a fun and safe environment for children to learn and thrive. With over three years of experience babysitting, I’ve had the privilege of caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children.

Claudia T., Babysitter in Riverdale, MD 20737 with 7 years of paid experience

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.

I switched careers from Administration to Childcare starting at the end of 2013. I have experience working with live-in and live-out families (infant-teen). I finally realize I'm doing what I love and will open a home daycare in the future.

I'm your neighborhood's awesome attentive nanny! I have a long list of families I've worked with, both short term and long term. I have experience from premature twin infants all the way to your average pre teen! I've worked shifts upwards of 48 hours haha! I'm great on call and very trustworthy. One thing I pride myself on being is the outdoorsy nanny. I like to go outside whether we are taking a walk or heading to the zoo! Activities are a great way for me to spend time with the kiddos as we are both having fun and getting some fresh air! I drive an SUV with a clean driving record. I began as an afterschool nanny, transitioned to full time during the summer while in school and then moved to being an overnight nanny. I respond quickly to messages, just shoot me one! My resume is always available to view.

first of all, I am blessing mother of three boys, 31-29-28 years old, I am a blessed grandmother I was born and I grew up in El Salvador, I am a family physician and public health in my country, emigrating to the United States 20 years ago, have worked with RN, tolders in personal care and healthy living. for children (food, clothing, bath, sleep them, different skill inside and outside the houses, visit the library.) Children and I enjoyed many parents  Biografia     I prefer a position in which I am needed to help, not replace the parent, in an informal atmosphere.  I am seeking a long-term position with a family. Ideally with an infant or young children. i am seeking a situation where I may build a rapport to supplement the parents. I am flexible and capable of doing any of the housework listed, but not at the expense of time with the children. I would also wish to find parents whose philosophy of childcare is in agreement with mine. Those who show their children constant love Those who accept them and respect them, shower them with attention when they want it, and limits only when they need them. Also, parents who will be there to show them the world and help to raise great kids. thank you, I LOVE WORKING TOGETHER and we will see your children grow healthy: physical & mental.

Kayla T., Babysitter in Riverdale, MD 20737 with 4 years of paid experience

Bonjour! I’m a proud St. Lucian with a big heart and a passion for babysitting that blossomed when I was just 11 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my three younger siblings, who were born more than a decade after me. Those early experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to guide little ones through every stage. From first steps to singing/sporty personalities. Watching them grow into their own identities lit a fire in me to support other children in the same way. Over the years, I’ve continued to babysit younger cousins and family friends, giving me hands-on experience with kids of various ages whenever I have time with my technical wiritng positon. I naturally gravitate toward creating a nurturing, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm especially proud of teaching manners in fun, memorable ways, and I bring calm energy and warm encouragement to every interaction. Whether we’re playing games, learning something new, or just having silly moments, I’m there with love, laughter, and genuine care.

I have been a nanny since I was 15 years old. I have watched all ages of children from infants to preteens. I have worked with children with special needs as well. I am also accustomed to working with more than three children. I have had jobs as a summer nanny, date night babysitter, and overnight weekend sitter. I am also a swim coach and teach swim lessons, so I have worked with children in many different settings. I also have been a certified lifeguard for the past seven years and I am accustomed to teaching children to swim and saving their lives in the water.

Jennifer M., Babysitter in Riverdale, MD 20737 with 8 years of paid experience

I am a mother of two teenage boys, so have been parenting for about 15 years. Prior to becoming a mother, I was a nanny for many years while in college and graduate school and a babysitter while in middle and high school. I have CPR and 1St Aid Certifications and am highly experienced with dealing with any issues that may arise while caring for infants, young children, tweens and teens. I love supporting kids to play and learn from experiences (games, crafts, sports) but am also ready to support homework and school assignments. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and happy to feed them or take them for walks. I take family rules seriously and will work with the children to make sure that tasks and chores are completed when required.
