Find experienced child care providers in Cheltenham, MD

Hi there, my name is Paige and I am a recently-departed fed about to graduate from my evening law program. During this time of transition & bar prep, I am looking for casual gigs on weekends and evenings. I am also open to and have experience with overnight care. I have worked as an English tutor in Lithuania, South Africa, and the U.S., a YMCA camp counselor, and a Merit Badge Counselor for the Boy Scouts of America. I grew up volunteering in my hometown of PGH, PA, and honor that practice whenever possible at my favorite DC organizations: We are Family and N Street Village. As a creative and daughter of an elementary school teacher, I prioritize outdoor activities, virtual-free games and mindfulness when interacting with children. I live a very active lifestyle as a yoga teacher, avid cyclist and strength trainer. I love to read, write, and care for my suspiciously large houseplants. I am respectful of all religions, races, and orientations, though my views on cats as the superior housepet are extremely biased. I look forward to working with you and your family.

Hello dear Parents: I am seeking full time or part-time position. Also, I am available on weekends or as needed. For the last 7 years I have been caring little ones from infants to pre-kindergarteners and elementary kids. I also enjoyed thoroughly working with first time parents caring for little bundles of joy. My last experiences are 15 weeks and 4 and 2-months old babies and now are years old or in preschool. My duties as a nanny are to feed (I can prepare food from scratch) their bottles of formula or breastmilk, change diapers, put them for naps, sleep training. I also play with the baby's toys to encourage them to grasp their toys and mentioning to them the colors, names, and sounds to promote cognitive development. I also put babies in tummy time so that their neck muscles get stronger day by day for later to roll over, sit up, and crawl. I have prepared healthy meals, and I am very organized and like to be active with the kids. I also help them to get ready for bed and wait until parents arrive from work. I currently have Child Development Certification, SIDS, CPR and AED certified as well. Thanks for reading my profile. Ysabel

Hi! I’m Iyana 😊 I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University with over 5 years of experience caring for children ages 4 months to 12 years. I’ve worked with infants through elementary-aged kids and also spent a year and a half teaching 8th grade, including supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I really enjoy babysitting because every child is different, and I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. I’m comfortable with transportation, sleep training/bedtime routines, and I’m very pet-friendly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games, karaoke, going on walks or hikes, and cooking together. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment for both kids and parents.

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.

I bring a unique combination of medical training, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with kids. Families can feel confident that I provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for their children.

Hello! My name is Cydnee, and I'm 20 years old. I'm currently a sophomore at Point Park University, where I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance with a concentration in Modern Dance. Dance has been a major part of my life for many years. Through my training, performances, choreography, and teaching experiences, I’ve developed strong leadership, communication, and mentoring skills. I love sharing my passion for dance with young people and helping them build confidence, discipline, and self-expression through movement. For the past several years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with children through both childcare and dance education. I volunteered at my local dance center for two years, helping young dancers begin their dance journeys while creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. Working with children is something I genuinely enjoy, and I find it incredibly rewarding to support their growth both inside and outside the studio. With over two years of childcare experience, I have cared for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. My experience includes feeding, diaper changes, bedtime routines, homework assistance, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I also enjoy organizing creative activities, crafts, games, and movement-based activities that keep children active and engaged. I pride myself on being dependable, responsible, patient, and punctual. Families can count on me to provide attentive care while serving as a positive role model for their children. My background in dance has taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, teamwork, and creating meaningful connections with others. Outside of childcare, I enjoy dancing, choreographing, creating music, journaling, and spending time with family and friends. I am dedicated to continuing my growth as both an artist and a mentor. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide caring, reliable support for your children. I’m excited to bring my positive energy, creativity, and dedication into your home!
