Find experienced babysitters in Shady Side, MD

Hi! I’m Iyana 😊 I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University with over 5 years of experience caring for children ages 4 months to 12 years. I’ve worked with infants through elementary-aged kids and also spent a year and a half teaching 8th grade, including supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I really enjoy babysitting because every child is different, and I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. I’m comfortable with transportation, sleep training/bedtime routines, and I’m very pet-friendly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games, karaoke, going on walks or hikes, and cooking together. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment for both kids and parents.

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)

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.
