Michaela joyce M., Babysitter in West River, MD 20778 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Michaela-Joyce, and I’m a proud graduate of Howard University, where I studied Bioethics with minors in Chemistry and Political Science. 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 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. I can’t wait to connect and help create wonderful memories with your little ones!

Iyana D., Babysitter in West River, MD 20778 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello!! My name is Iyana. I am a graduate student at Bowie State University. I have 5 years of experience working with children from infants to elementary school aged children. I previously taught 8th grade for a year and a half, working with students who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism. I love being a sitter because each child is different, so every experience is different. I love getting to know each child on an individual level and learning their likes and dislikes. My favorite things to do as a sitter are playing board games, karaoke, going hiking, and cooking.

Eszter G., Babysitter in West River, MD 20778 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm a rising senior at the University of Maryland, majoring in Early Childhood and Special Education. I’ve worked as an assistant preschool teacher and as a tutor for elementary and middle school students, and I’m passionate about creating safe, engaging, and supportive learning environments for all children. My coursework and hands-on experience through UMD’s EC/ECSE program have prepared me to support children of all abilities using evidence-based, inclusive practices. This dual-certification program (in both Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education) has equipped me to work with young learners from birth through third grade—helping them grow, learn, and thrive. In addition to childcare, I also offer tutoring tailored to each child’s unique learning needs. I recently completed my creative writing minor and hope to write a children’s book one day! Outside of work, I love writing, drawing, and swimming. While I don’t have a car, I’m happy to travel to you. Looking forward to meeting you and your family! I am very new to sittercity so I do not have any reviews but please feel free to reach out to my references-- I have previous families Ive worked for listed as well as my coworker when I was working as an assistant pre-school teacher.

Claudia T., Babysitter in West River, MD 20778 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.

Faith E., Babysitter in West River, MD 20778 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Faith and would love to serve you and your child(s) needs. I am a recent MD resident from Minnesota who came to the DMV to complete my medical school journey! While in MN, I worked at New Horizon daycare as a teacher's aide caring for children ages 7 months to 7 years. In addition to aiding in their academic growth, we aimed to foster a safe environment for social and emotional learning. My experience at the daycare taught me to be flexible and appreciate the unique approaches when connecting with children. Fast forward, to last year, I completed my pediatric rotation where I cared for children 0-18 years of age. I do have a vehicle that can be used for errands and child pickups. I have had many years assisting young children with homework and test prep starting with my own younger siblings to participating in an elementary program in college. If you see fit, I hope to hear from you and continue further conversations!
