Find experienced child care providers in Cheltenham, MD

Bonjour! I’m a proud St. Lucian with a big heart and a passion for babysitting that blossomed when I was just 11 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my three younger siblings, who were born more than a decade after me. Those early experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to guide little ones through every stage. From first steps to singing/sporty personalities. Watching them grow into their own identities lit a fire in me to support other children in the same way. Over the years, I’ve continued to babysit younger cousins and family friends, giving me hands-on experience with kids of various ages whenever I have time with my technical wiritng positon. I naturally gravitate toward creating a nurturing, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm especially proud of teaching manners in fun, memorable ways, and I bring calm energy and warm encouragement to every interaction. Whether we’re playing games, learning something new, or just having silly moments, I’m there with love, laughter, and genuine care.

Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a former special education teacher with over six years of classroom experience, and caring for children has always been more than a job for me, it’s something I truly love. Today, I focus on providing thoughtful, one‑on‑one support as a babysitter and tutor, helping children feel safe, confident, and supported while they learn and grow. When babysitting, I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I enjoy building meaningful connections through play, conversation, and routine whether that means reading books before bedtime, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, or helping kids wind down after a busy day. I’m attentive to routines like meals, homework time, and bedtime, and I approach transitions with patience and care, especially for children who benefit from extra structure or reassurance. As a tutor, I support children with homework, skill-building, and learning routines in ways that feel encouraging rather than stressful. I break tasks into manageable steps, use visuals or hands‑on activities when helpful, and celebrate effort and progress along the way. For example, I might turn math practice into a game, help a child organize their assignments with a simple checklist, or use drawing and writing prompts to strengthen reading and writing skills while keeping things engaging. I’ve worked with children of all ages and abilities, and my background in special education helps me tailor my approach to each child’s learning style, energy level, and needs. Families often tell me they appreciate my kindness, consistency, and clear communication, as well as the balance I strike between structure and fun. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and playful space where children feel supported, capable, and cared for and where parents feel confident knowing their child is in loving, reliable hands. If you’re looking for a babysitter and tutor who will treat your child with genuine care and make the day a little brighter, I would love to connect.

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.
