Hi everyone! I have been a full-time child care provider for seven years. I taught children's Sunday School for eight years and was a Cub Scout leader for five years. I currently work with multiple families on an as-needed basis. I try to live my life in a way that I can be a positive male role model to the children around me. I enjoy working with children and getting down to their level to play and learn. I try to avoid screen time, and encourage creativity and imagination. I can provide references upon request.

I recently moved to the area to attend the University of Maryland from Harrisburg, PA. I worked at a high rated daycare in PA for 6 years where I was able to get close to families and babysit for them part time. I now work part time at a daycare in Lanham and am First Aid Certified.

Elizabeth was amazing. Our boys seemed to warm up to her easily and our normally anxious dog was very comfortable around her. Elizabeth is very punctual, reliable and kind. We definitely would love to have Elizabeth help with our boys again.

Hi! My name is Kayla (25). I am currently looking for occasional/weekend babysitting opportunities. A bit about me: I previously worked as behavior technician at an autism school (and in home with ASD children and families prior to that). In the last five years, I have also worked as a preschool teacher, nanny, and Soccer Shots coach (ages 2-10). I graduated from Messiah College in May of 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have lots of experience working with children and families, and would be happy to give you details and references! I am also adult, child, and infant CPR/first aid certified, and fully COVID vaccinated. I also have all of my clearances and would be happy to provide copies upon request. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks, Kayla

Hi! My name is Carey. I’m 39 years old, married, and live in Harrisburg with my husband and our 8-year-old son. I’m a reliable, attentive sitter with both professional childcare experience and hands-on parenting experience. I earned my Assistant Teaching degree and graduated from Vo-Tech in 2005 at the top of my Child Care Development class. I was a nanny for two years before transitioning into the Information Technology field, where I currently work as a Program Manager. That background has helped me become extremely organized, dependable, and great at communication. I truly adore children of all ages and am a big advocate for being active and engaged - helping kids unwind, play, and burn off energy after long school days. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and pet care as needed. I have an 8-year-old son who is kind, well-behaved, and wonderful with younger kids. He sometimes accompanies me, which often creates a fun, interactive play environment - especially for children who enjoy having a buddy. I completely understand that this setup isn’t for every family and am always happy to discuss what feels comfortable for you. We are a Christian family, and I value kindness, patience, and treating others with respect in everything I do. In my free time, I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, and spending time outdoors. I’m open to interviews and trial runs to ensure you feel 100% comfortable and confident in your choice of care. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family!

For the past two years, Carey M. has always done a fantastic job babysitting our two children, who were 10 and 8, respectively, when she first began babysitting for us. Because our younger child has autism and is non-verbal, we especially needed someone like her, who has the right experience and interpersonal skills. Carey exceeded our expectations. She is very diligent, responsible and trustworthy. We would definitely recommend her as a care provider.

My name is Makayla and I am 24 years old! I love sports and anything outdoors! I fell in love with kids during my middle school years! My mom was a stay at home mom, but during my middle school years she started nannying a 3 month old boy! I absolutely fell in love with helping my mom watch him! I have about 8 years of experience helping out my mom along with babysitting friends kids or younger cousins. I do have experience in special needs, particularly Tourette’s syndrome, OCD, ADD, ADH, sensory disorders as well as autism. My brother has severe OCD, Tourette’s syndrome and sensory disorders, along with 3 of my cousins so I know how to handle those kinds of situation extremely well from growing up with my brother and babysitting cousins. I also have a few cousins with Autism and have learned how to respond and handle difficult situations.

Hi! I’m currently in my gap year and have about 5 years of babysitting experience with kids of different ages. I’ve also worked with children teaching theatre, so I love bringing creativity, games, and imagination into the time I spend with kids. I enjoy building strong connections with children and creating a fun, safe environment for them to learn and play. I’m also comfortable around pets and have experience dog sitting. I’d love to help support your family! ☺️

I highly recommend Ashlyn as a babysitter! She watched my 18-month-old son and was wonderful with him. She was patient, attentive, and very engaging. She always took the time to play with him, keep him entertained, and make sure he felt comfortable. She was also very responsible and dependable, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and takes the responsibility seriously.
