Hello! I’m Amarachi Anyadike. I’m a graduate social work student. I’m a fun-loving babysitter and I simply enjoy creating enriching experiences for kids. I run a summer camp in Baltimore so I have experience with up to 20 children at a time. I have been a private nanny for years as well so I have experience with all ages, from birth to age 16, as well as experience with dietary restrictions and medical complexities. I intern at Kennedy Krieger Institute so I am background tested in the State of Maryland. I look forward to caring for your children!

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. 💕

Hi I'm Kien a junior in college. Its now been 5 years I since I officially started taking care of kids but before then, for as long as I remember I was always like a second mom to my little siblings and cousins growing up, not because we didn’t have a mom but because she was a single mom and I saw her pain and struggle so I single handedly decided to be a care giver and helper to my younger siblings whenever she wasn’t around which turned into a role that I enjoyed, henceforth why I love taking care of kids and seeing them grow everyday into beautiful people. I also know sometimes it gets messy so i can help with Light Housekeeping and Laundry. I also don't mind helping with school work when needed. And taking the kids to the park if pleased. I promise to keep your kids safe and happy.

Hi! I'm Elsa and I'm a 24 year old Certified Nursing Assistant and Certified Patient Care Technician. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I grew up in a big family so my experience with babysitting began in my own home and with close family. Over the years I have worked with many families with all kinds of backgrounds. I have been a babysitter, dog walker, tutor and mother's helper. I have experience in working with children that range from a toddler to teenager. With that being said, I love being around kids, babies and pets! I have also been a camp counselor, and a Montessori school teacher's assistant in the past. I work at Johns Hopkins which consists of working in every unit in the hospital with the main ones being Pediatrics and Psych. I'm an energetic responsible individual who goes out my way to provide a fun, safe/clean, and stimulating environment for children. My outgoing personality and background with arts helps me connect with the imaginative and creative sides that all children have. I’m starting school again therefore I look forward to go back to being a babysitter/nanny again. I hope to speak soon :)!
