Hi my names Felisha, I'm 32 years old, and I have a lot of experience with children. I have three younger sisters and they are 17, 20 and 23. I babysit for families for special occasions and I am open to set days and times as well. I've been a nanny for different families from all age ranges. I've also been a nanny for children older than 13 years old as a big sister role model. I'm responsible, fun, active and outgoing. I love being active, doing crafts, games, reading, dress up/pretend and outdoor activities. I love animals and I'm comfortable with all types and sizes. I use to volunteer at Jug Bay Wetlands as a naturalist; leading school-aged children on educational adventures, Chesapeake Children's Museum And at the Baltimore Maryland Zoo as an animal contact aid for the public interactions with the animals. I love to cook/bake stuff so meal prep will be no problem and I'm CPR certified. I have high emotional intelligence and wisdom that makes me a great for people with sensitivities and special needs. I also have food allergies so I'm very careful and mindful about others allergies. P.S My Myer Briggs personality type in ENFJ If you think I'd make a good fit for your family please contact me. Thank You, Felisha

Felisha interviewed for our nanny position in Feb 2014. She did a fantastic job. She was very articulate and engaging. Unfortunately, she had already accepted another position closer to her home by the time we offered her the job. She has babysat for us and was a temporary nanny for us for two weeks while she waited for her permanent job to start. Felisha is a very lively and fun young lady. She was great with the kids and my 90-year old mother. She has a great deal of initiative. She cleaned out the refrigerator, organized the girls’ rooms, and took my mother shopping, all without being asked. We strongly recommend her.

Hello! My name is Mary Brooke and I prefer to go by Brooke. I am 27 years old and hoping to fill some free time in order to save enough money to start a small farm. I currently would as a County Executive Director for Baltimore and Harford. Living in Frederick County, I am no stranger to driving distances. Being the oldest child and cousin watching after my younger family members was a great experience in my youth. In college, I set up the SitterCity account for just one of my many jobs. I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelors in Large Animal and Dairy Sciences. I am very comfortable with animals as well! I now enjoy time, when I can, with my niece and nephews. Please feel free to ask me any questions! My availability would be most weekends and afternoon/evenings. I get off work at 4:30, so depending on your location and travel I would be available after then.

Meghan was really wonderful with our 6 month old son. She arrived on time both times and was great, very sweet, and it seems like our son had fun with her. I wish she lived near us but she is only in town on school break. Emily

If you're looking for someone who embodies compassion and empathy, look no further than Lelo. Over the past year, she has been a remarkable caregiver for my daughter, and our journey together began through our church activities, where Lelo generously volunteered in the children’s church sessions. Since then, she has become an irreplaceable part of our family, providing not only exceptional care but also warmth and joy in our home. We cannot recommend Lelo highly enough. Her dependability, nurturing spirit, and respectful demeanor make her a standout caregiver. If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to us.

Hi families! I’m currently transitioning out of working in an early childhood center after 5 years in childcare and am looking for a family to nanny for while I step away from corporate childcare. I absolutely love building strong bonds with children and families and watching little ones learn and grow so quickly, it’s one of the most rewarding parts of what I do! I have experience working with infants through preschool, but I especially specialize in infant care. I currently hold my Infants & Toddlers certification and am CPR, First Aid, and SIDS certified as well. I always aim to create a loving, safe, and fun environment while also maintaining great communication with the families I work with. I’m also available for occasional date nights and weekend babysitting! A little about me outside of childcare, I enjoy sports, old classic music like rock & roll and R&B, family time, and just doing what makes you happy in life 😊

Hi, I'm Lauren! I am a caretaker, an artist and a hobby gardener. As one of six children I am no stranger to the joy-filled chaos of young children, or the necessity of multitasking and prep work to keep a happy household running smoothly. In addition to the immediate tasks of childcare like playtime, planning activities, and helping with schoolwork, I am also comfortable preparing meals and snacks, cleaning and tidying the house, and running whatever errands are most helpful. I have been the go-to neighborhood babysitter since I was a teenager and have had the pleasure of taking care of kids from 6 week old infants to twelve year old preteens! I am Red Cross CPR and First Aid Certified and have volunteer experience working with kids with childhood illness including those dealing with chronic illness, cancer, heart conditions, stoma bags, and other GI issues. I would consider one of my greatest strengths my sincere belief that playing is good for your brain and for your heart, and as long as we can work together there's nothing we can't do. If you have any interest in seeing if I'd be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!
