Maatah does a great job with my twin 23 month old toddlers. She is reliable, patient, kind and consistent. She is very interactive with them, follows the schedule that I leave for them and also does an awesome job keeping me informed of how they are doing during the day while I'm away. Twins can be a handful so I'm grateful to have found her!

Olive Y.
- 19 years paid experience
- 14 miles
Hello! After 16 months caring for a wonderful baby girl who is now starting daycare, I am looking for a new full-time position with a loving family. I have a soft spot for babies and truly enjoy caring for them. I bring over 19 years of experience, and caring for children is more than a job for me — it’s something I do with my whole heart. I also help with light housekeeping and cooking to support the whole family. I am a fluent French speaker and speak limited English. However, many families have found this to be a positive — the little girl I’ve cared for recently now says several words in French! I don’t just meet a baby’s basic needs — I actively engage with them through creative play, singing, and activities that support early language development. I love singing to babies and watching how they light up with joy during interactive play. Helping little ones learn and grow through connection and care is something I truly enjoy. I’m reliable, nurturing, and ready to bring love and support to a new home. I’m happy to provide references from my current family. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more. 💕

We love Olive! It's quite obvious that her gift is taking care of babies. She cared for my six month old and he loved her soothing energy and playfulness. The one thing we loved about her was her attention on our baby. Some people just do the bare minimum to make sure the baby is fed, clean, etc, but Olive actually engages plays and sings to the baby constantly. It's so sweet. We 1000% recommend her.

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.

I had met Cecilia about 4 years ago. She is a fantastic sitter, having watched my children many times. She is always on time and helps by having the house clean and the children in bed when I return. I highly recommend Cecilia! Michelle Ellis

Bria T.
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.

We cannot say enough good things about Bria. From the moment she joined our family, she has been professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to our children. She connects easily with kids of different ages and personalities, and it’s clear how intentional and thoughtful she is in how she engages with them. Bria is reliable, proactive, and communicates clearly, which has made a huge difference in keeping our household running smoothly. She balances fun and structure beautifully, our kids feel supported, safe, and excited when they’re with her. She consistently goes above and beyond, whether that’s planning engaging activities, supporting routines, or stepping in to help without being asked. Most importantly, we trust Bria completely. She has quickly become an integral part of our family, and we feel very lucky to have her caring for our children. Any family would be fortunate to work with her, and we recommend her without hesitation.

Afia is very punctual. She had just the right balance of fun and attentiveness to care for our preschooler during date night. Would highly recommend!

I am prior Navy and have spent many hours babysitting or volunteering in nurseries, daycare, and individual homes. I have a bachelor's in social work and sociology. I am going to graduate school for child welfare in the fall 2025. I love kids and the challenges that come with them. I have watched up to five children at a time but prefer a smaller group so I can give each child the attention that they need. I believe safety is the number one priority when it comes to watching children. I do everything I can to provide fun and happiness in a safe environment. I can help with household chores and transportation if asked and have experience around animals. I do have my own vehicle, I have access to military bases if you're on post, and am really excited to meet your family.
