Hi! I'm Karen. I am a devoted and loving mom of two young adults. As a former foster parent for the state of Maryland, I have cared for children of all ages and am CPR certified and first aid trained through the Red Cross. I have experience caring for children who have autism, ADHD and other disabilities. In addition to raising my own children and fostering, I acquired childcare experience through babysitting for family, friends and neighbors, previously working at a daycare center, leading classroom lessons and activities at my church and also substitute teaching elementary age students. Watching children learn and grow through engaging interaction is fulfilling and enjoyable to me. I like to occupy children with craft activities, art projects, games and puzzles, outdoor play, cooking lessons...anything that limits screen time and encourages imagination and creativity. I believe that some down time is also important. For that purpose, book reading, puppet shows, cloud shape guessing and wildlife watching would be some of my possible choices. There's surely no lack of things I could come up with to keep children busy, but the number one reason to choose me to be your caregiver is this...I love kids! They make life fun! I really enjoy teaching them and then watching them progress through their many stages of childhood. You can expect that I will treat your child/children with respect and I will nurture and care for them as if they were my own.

Hello future family! My name is Temidayo (Té) and I am a nursing student. As the eldest girl in an extended family with over 20 cousins, I've been taking care of children my entire life! I have always loved being around children and encouraging their growth and development. This experience extended to the professional childcare setting when I began working at a daycare in early 2024. I also have prior nannying experience from the summer of 2024. My passion for children has lead me to pursue a career in pediatric nursing, including a recent internship at Children's National Hospital. I believe it is an honor to be part of stewarding a child's life and consider it a blessing to take care of your little one! I hope to create a wonderful relationship with my nannying family full of trust, peace, and comfort. I would love the opportunity to start this journey with you!
