Hi! I’m Olivia, a freshman at Morgan State University in Baltimore Maryland, originally from California I will be returning to california May 14th , with four years of paid childcare experience. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I’m currently in school to become a nurse, and I would love to be a labor and delivery nurse. I’ve worked as a part-time cooking teacher for children in pre-K through sixth grade, where I led creative, hands-on classes that helped me develop strong skills in keeping kids engaged, happy, and learning. In addition to my paid experience, I’ve had extensive informal experience caring for my 8-year-old younger brother and several younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable working with children of different ages and personalities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and always bring a positive attitude. Whether it’s crafts, playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m ready to jump in and help make your day a little easier!

My 2 year old loved Olivia! They played and did some activities together. She was very calming for my little one. My 2 year old even said “I like Olivia” after she left. Thank You!

We’ve been very happy with Iqra as our after-school sitter for our 5-year-old son. She’s dependable, always arrives on time, and communicates clearly and promptly with us. What we appreciate most is how genuinely engaged she is with our son—she plays with him, encourages his imagination, and keeps him happily active after a long day of school. He looks forward to seeing her, which says a lot! We feel confident and comfortable knowing he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend.

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.

Karen was perfect for us. Karen was always right there for us. The boys just love her and the boys never seemed to tire of trying to show off for her. It is hard to think that we could find a better sitter than Karen.

Hello! My name is Tiffany. I am a forty-year-old military spouse. I recently moved to Bel Air. I have three children; a twenty-five year old daughter, a fifteen-year-old son, and an ten-year-old son. I am a registered nurse. I am certified in Pediatric & Adult CPR, First Aid, and Basic Life Support. I have been providing care for children since I was twelve years old. I would provide care for a lot of my neighbors, friends, family, and friends of my family members. They would refer me to anyone they knew who was looking for childcare. Since my husband has been in the military, we have lived in Tampa for four years, Hawaii for four years, Texas for one year, Washington state for two years and now back in Maryland. While residing at these locations, I have provided care for a few of the military families that I had the pleasure of meeting. I provide care in my home because it allows me to be available for my children as well if there are any changes with school or if they need to stay home. However, I am open to possibly providing care in your home depending on the day, time, and situation. We can discuss if that would be an option. My house is very safe and child-friendly with plenty of toys and age-appropriate activities to keep your children entertained. I like to incorporate learning into play to make learning fun and can provide homework help. If you're interested, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you to see if I can help meet all of you and your family's needs. Thank you for your time and have a blessed day!

Hi & Welcome to my profile! My name is Irene and I'm 37 years old. I have worked with children of all ages for about 19 years now. I also have several references. I truly enjoy working with kids and getting to know families. I'm also understanding of any specific rules or preferences parents or children have when they are with a babysitter. I also have lots of experience with families of different cultural backgrounds and life situations. I also have my own personal experience as well as professional experience within the adoption and foster care field. I have also worked with children with special needs before. I also prefer stable positions that match with my availability although I'm open to last minute positions as long as I'm available. I'm open to any questions and I hope to continue to meet families and be of help to them!

As a dedicated childcare provider, I am passionate about fostering bright futures and nurturing individuals of all backgrounds. With a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies, focusing on Human Ecology, and currently pursuing my Master’s in Human Ecology with a specialization in Child Development, I bring both educational knowledge and practical experience to my role as a nanny. I have over 5 years of experience working in various childcare settings, including schools and private homes, where I've developed a deep understanding of children's needs. My previous roles have included teaching 1st grade at Loftin Love Academy, where I created engaging lesson plans and fostered an inclusive atmosphere for all students. In addition to my teaching experience, I have provided childcare through Sittercity, managing schedules, planning activities, and supporting children with individualized education plans (IEPs). I also worked as a Mental Health Worker at Sheppard Pratt, helping vulnerable individuals thrive through encouragement and support. I hold certifications in CPR, AED, and First Aid, and I am committed to promoting safety and well-being in every interaction. I believe in creating fun, educational, and supportive environments for children, where they can learn, grow, and express themselves. I am excited to bring my skills and compassionate approach to families, ensuring a nurturing and enriching experience for children.

Kel helped us out on weekdays for a month (Jan. 2022) when we were in a bind. She was wonderful and we really miss her! She was so patient with the kids (5 and almost 2) and kept them safe. She loved playing with them and knew how to set appropriate boundaries when their behavior slipped. She did very well sticking to their schedule and keeping them in their routine. My family greatly benefited from her help and the kids loved her. Her education background really came through in using different communication strategies and educational activities with the kids. I could tell she truly enjoys working with children. Don’t miss the opportunity to have her work with your child!

I am an energetic and passionate sitter that engages your children’s interests in their interests. I implement nature, imagination, sports, creative crafts, and educational games to stimulate their developmental journey. My childcare approach is playful, respectful, friendly, understanding, and nurturing. I can assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, travel, and swim lessons/supervision. My education/skills include early childcare development, holistic nutrition, holistic chef, health, wellness, and can comfortably care for 1 - 4 children at once.

She cared for my two sons from the time they were just 6 months old through age 4, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust with them. She was always attentive, caring, and genuinely involved in their day-to-day lives. Beyond just watching them, she played an important role in their growth—encouraging learning, guiding their development, and helping build a strong foundation for their education. My boys were always happy, safe, and engaged in her care. I’m so grateful for the love and dedication she showed our family.

We hired Marissa back in 2021 when our first child was born. Initially, it was for a part-time nanny hire (we only needed her for 2-3 days/week). When we first spoke, she felt like someone we had known for a long time. Very personable, warm and honest. During her time with us, she has always been very dependable, always on time (if there ever was a delay, which was rare, she would notify me right away), and has been excellent with our 2 kids and 2 dogs. After we no longer needed a part-time nanny, she became our go-to babysitter. Marissa is excellent with handling tough situations (one child melting down, making sure the other is in a safe, contained space, etc). She makes our children feel safe and genuinely cared for. When it comes to disciplining a child, she was on the same page with us - stern but not harsh, no "punishments," connect/validate/teach, etc. We always have felt very safe and secure with our household in her hands. Marissa is sorely missed but she comes with the highest recommendations from all of us!

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I have 19 years of childcare experience through babysitting, nannying, and early childhood education. I started babysitting at 14 years old and have always had a genuine passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at The Goddard School for four years as a Teacher Assistant, where I helped care for children in a structured classroom environment. My responsibilities included supporting daily routines, assisting with educational activities, supervising playtime, maintaining a safe and nurturing environment, and helping children learn and grow through positive engagement and consistency. My background in psychology, social science, early childhood education, and cybersecurity has helped me develop strong communication, organization, patience, reliability, and a deep understanding of child development and emotional support. Families describe me as dependable, patient, caring, and trustworthy. I love creating a warm, safe, and positive environment where children feel supported, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and parents and understand how important it is for families to feel confident and at ease with their childcare provider. I am also offering nannying care from my home in a smaller, personalized setting. This allows me to provide more one on one attention, a calm environment, structured routines, and individualized care to help each child feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the day. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Jess cared for our two daughters and was truly amazing throughout every stage. She cared for our youngest from the newborn stage through toddlerhood and was also a huge help with our older daughter. She provided loving, reliable care, always kept us updated and made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Leaving my girls in someone else’s care caused me a lot of anxiety at first but Jess eased that anxiety right away with her warmth, communication and genuine care. Jess is patient, nurturing, dependable and truly cares for the children she watches. We only ended care because we moved out of state. We would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for an amazing nanny! We miss her so much and are even planning to meet up for lunch next month with the girls. That’s how much our family loves her!
