Greeting Families, I am passionate about children. I am caring, energetic, diligent, and a dedicated person. I graduated with an degree in Early Childhood Development. I have come to the realization that every child is created in their own unique way. I have experience of caring for children over night, and overnight infant nursing care. The ranges of children that I have cared for is from newborn to high school. I come from a large family, so I know what it means to multitask and get the job done! I also have reliable transportation, and do not mind being around pets. Over the years, I have taught in a private school (kindergarten, first grade, second grade). I hope to provide you and your family care soon!

I am certified in Infant/Child CPR and First Aid for Infant/children and adults. I am a student at Liberty University majoring in Early Childhood Education also I do hold an Child Development Associate(CDA). I have been a teacher's assistant for 10 plus years. I have worked in a childcare center and public & charter schools in the Washington, DC metro area. I promote a safe and healthy learning environment. I have an ample amount of experience with children ages 3 months to 14 years olds. Children love me because I understand them, but I also am firm when the situation arises. My skills and abilities come naturally and I am confident that parents wouldn't mind leaving their child(ren) in my care. I love to cook, engage in creative projects, read stories, and enjoy outdoor activities. I have been through a FBI background check/National Child Registry/State & Local checks also the Criminal Background check as well. I have an four (4) hour minimum care service. (3 hours at the least.) I look forward to assisting your family needs.

Clifford did a wonderful job with my infant son. My mom, who is a retired nurse, was around to observe and said he did the best job out of multiple sitters we have had. Punctual, responsive, sweet and completely reliable.

Hello! After 16 months caring for a wonderful baby girl who is now starting daycare, I am looking for a new full-time position with a loving family. I have a soft spot for babies and truly enjoy caring for them. I bring over 19 years of experience, and caring for children is more than a job for me — it’s something I do with my whole heart. I also help with light housekeeping and cooking to support the whole family. I am a fluent French speaker and speak limited English. However, many families have found this to be a positive — the little girl I’ve cared for recently now says several words in French! I don’t just meet a baby’s basic needs — I actively engage with them through creative play, singing, and activities that support early language development. I love singing to babies and watching how they light up with joy during interactive play. Helping little ones learn and grow through connection and care is something I truly enjoy. I’m reliable, nurturing, and ready to bring love and support to a new home. I’m happy to provide references from my current family. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more. 💕

We love Olive! It's quite obvious that her gift is taking care of babies. She cared for my six month old and he loved her soothing energy and playfulness. The one thing we loved about her was her attention on our baby. Some people just do the bare minimum to make sure the baby is fed, clean, etc, but Olive actually engages plays and sings to the baby constantly. It's so sweet. We 1000% recommend her.
Sherry M.

Hi Moms and Dads thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Sherry living in Gaithersburg Md. I have worked as a babysitter /nanny for over 40yrs. I worked for family's all over Montgomery County . I have work with preemies, new-born, toddlers and school age children. I have had experience with down syndrome children and one that requires a feeding tube. As a nanny I want your child/children to know that I am there to keep them safe and give love while their parents work. I will protect them as if they are my own. I read, sing song, go out, do craft and get down on the floor, and play. I enjoy going to story time and other activities. Sorry, I don't do public pools. I have travel with my family's to other states. I even travel to Spain with one of my family and stayed for 2months. I also do short term jobs and long term. My last family I was with for 3 years. I try to to support my family's as much as I can, whether it's a emergency or something else. I like to build a bond with the kids that I take care of so they feel safe and love at all times. Yes this is a job but how can you spend time with beautiful kids and not love on them. I do have my own car seats less then 2yrs old and kept clean. They are Graco.

We have been extremely happy with Sherry, and highly recommend her. She works with our family on a regular basis and cares for our three young children. She is consistently reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. Sherry is warm and attentive with the kids, engages them in age-appropriate activities, and creates a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. She communicates clearly, follows instructions well, and shows good judgment and initiative when caring for multiple young children. Our kids are happy and comfortable with her, which gives us great peace of mind. She has become a trusted and valued part of our routine, and we would confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dependable and thoughtful caregiver.

first of all, I am blessing mother of three boys, 31-29-28 years old, I am a blessed grandmother I was born and I grew up in El Salvador, I am a family physician and public health in my country, emigrating to the United States 20 years ago, have worked with RN, tolders in personal care and healthy living. for children (food, clothing, bath, sleep them, different skill inside and outside the houses, visit the library.) Children and I enjoyed many parents Biografia I prefer a position in which I am needed to help, not replace the parent, in an informal atmosphere. I am seeking a long-term position with a family. Ideally with an infant or young children. i am seeking a situation where I may build a rapport to supplement the parents. I am flexible and capable of doing any of the housework listed, but not at the expense of time with the children. I would also wish to find parents whose philosophy of childcare is in agreement with mine. Those who show their children constant love Those who accept them and respect them, shower them with attention when they want it, and limits only when they need them. Also, parents who will be there to show them the world and help to raise great kids. thank you, I LOVE WORKING TOGETHER and we will see your children grow healthy: physical & mental.

I had met Cecilia about 4 years ago. She is a fantastic sitter, having watched my children many times. She is always on time and helps by having the house clean and the children in bed when I return. I highly recommend Cecilia! Michelle Ellis

I was a babysitter for my extended family and neighbors during my teenage years and as a college graduate. I continued babysitting through graduate school (for education and counseling)and into my early adult years. Even now, as an adult, I still enjoy babysitting because I love children. I have been a teacher in early childhood and elementary schools, as well as a summer camp counselor and director, for many years. As a result of my job in education, I have undergone and cleared several criminal background checks. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, and I have my own car. I enjoy doing schoolwork, participating in sports, playing games, and engaging in arts and crafts with children. I enjoy being positive, creative, and engaging with kids because they have wonderful imaginations, and I love having fun with them. I try to teach children a great deal, but I also always learn a great deal from them! It's always a win-win situation.

Maria has been our children's nanny for 4.5 years and has been an incredible addition to our family. We have appreciated the nurturing guidance she has offered to our children and the genuine, heartfelt, warm, and affectionate care she provides every day. She will be dearly missed. We strongly recommend Maria for a nanny position and would be happy to provide a reference on her behalf if you have any questions.

Hi families!! My name is Katelyn and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently looking for a family in need of a part-time or full-time nanny/babysitter! I’m located in College Park, MD (UMD area) and I’m willing to drive as needed. I’m enrolled in an online Vet Tech program through Penn Foster College (self-paced), so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to start as soon as needed. I’m also happy to help out last-minute when things come up! I’m CPR certified and have 7 years of childcare experience, with ages ranging from newborns to early teens. I’m very hands-on and love keeping kids engaged with activities, routines, and homework help. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning/tidying, and as a big animal lover, I’m always comfortable around pets. 😊 Feel free to message me anytime — I’d love to chat and see if we’d be a good fit! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
