Hello! My name is Marissa Bernal. I am originally from Kansas City, am a graduate from the University of Kansas with my Bachelors in Elementary Education. I am currently in my fifth year of teaching, educating 19 active kindergartners. I like to craft, find the best coffee, and make memories with my friends and my dog, Buddy! At the moment I am currently looking to connect with families that are in need of a sitter for date nights, weekends, or evenings. If you think your family and I could be a great match, please reach out!

Hello! My name is Kaya Nies and I am a graduate student living in Baltimore for the year. I am a medical student interested in pediatrics and am taking the year away for a public health Master’s program here in the area. I have always loved interacting with kiddos of all ages - my parents are elementary school teachers and I spent many teenage years volunteering in their classrooms and serving as babysitter for their colleagues. Helping kids learn and play grew to be very special to me. In college I had a couple of part-time nannying gigs and also worked as my sibling’s full-time childcare during the summers (at ages 6 months to 3 years). Throughout medical school I have spent ample time with babies, children, and adolescents as I learned how to provide care to them. I have a kid-friendly vehicle and love to spend time with pets. As a future pediatrician, I am knowledgeable and passionate about child safety. I am committed to fostering a fun, educational environment with safety at the forefront of my mind. I would be thrilled to spend some of my time in Baltimore with a family in need of childcare. Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

I’m 29 years old and I have 15 years experience babysitting and working with children. I’m was a lead teacher at a daycare center until I had my baby girl who is now almost two in December. I wanted a more flexible schedule to stay home with her as much as possible. Sometimes she does come with me but I can also leave her with family. I can do meal prep, change diapers, potty train and bedtime/naptime routine. I love being outside and taking “field trips” with the kids I babysit for. I have plenty of references as well.

I am a charismatic, kind, and safety-oriented childcare worker who loves connecting with children and seeing what makes them tick. I am currently working in a behavior analysis clinic where I work one-on-one with autistic youth (4yrs-9yrs). I love this work but am looking to get back into nannying. I have nannied for families with littles (1yr-4yrs) for the most part, but feel comfortable around and have experience with all ages! I value safety and educational enrichment above all else, I try to minimize screen time when watching children. I love exposing children to new activities and expanding their horizons, whether that be outdoors, finding museums, exploring libraries, swimming (I am a certified lifeguard with years of swim lesson instruction under my belt), cooking/baking, or educational games. I implement boundaries with kids in a clear and compassionate manner, and am happy to have conversations with kids around these boundaries (terminating unsafe, inappropriate, or unkind behaviors). I like having discussions with parents around their approach and philosophy toward childcare/parenting to make sure I am representing their values properly when working with their kids. I take a lot of pride in my work with children, it brings me so much joy to be a childcare provider. I like to read, work out, go on walks, hang with my cats, find events with live music, make tasty food, and see my friends/family in my free time. I am comfortable working with children that have disabilities, given I am provided background information and specific instructions for their needs. I am comfortable with transporting myself/children around town and having animals around too. I look forward to hearing from you!
