Kesha W., Child Care in Damascus, MD 20872 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello families! I’m the mother of an amazing 1 year boy and I am a highly experienced warm and friendly Nanny/Babysitter who is currently available for Part Time or On Call/Backup/Date Night care in my safe and clean home. I am very passionate about what I do, and I absolutely love working with children. I hold certificates in the following areas: -90 hours Certificate consisting of Child Growth and Development and Curriculum Planning -CPR and First Aid -Positive Child Guidance and Discipline Theory -SIDS. With 10+ years experience working with 2 month olds to 10-year-olds, you can rest assured I have the knowledge and patience to properly care for your child. Safety is very important to me, because your child is priceless; therefore they will always be given the best care. I'm not the type of person to just immerse myself into my phone the whole day while your child watches T.V. and entertains himself/herself. I feel that it’s very important to get down to the child’s level and I will enthusiastically engage in both fun and educational activities with your little one. Oh, and I'm an advocate for reading and language development/vocabulary building! I'm very reliable, punctual, friendly, and responsible. Whether last minute, on call, date nights, or overnights, feel free to reach out, and if I’m available then you can count on me. Certificates, resume and professional references available upon request!

Kristina L., Child Care in Damascus, MD 20872 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi there! I am currently a recent graduate from Towson University, looking for work as a nanny / babysitter. After receiving my degree in Psychology, I found that I was most interested in learning about child development, early education, and family studies in my courses. Caring for families has further sparked my interest in these subjects - I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and love doing it as my current job! I have 8+ years of experience caring for over 15 families - this experience includes children of all different ages, from infants to pre-teens. I have volunteered as a helper or "companion" for a disabled child in the past for the Montgomery County Recreational Department. I have experience volunteering at elementary schools, working with children, and have been involved in philanthropic events for Children's Miracle Network Hospital. Also, I have been involved in other volunteer work in nursing homes and fundraisers for children's medical expenses and needs for their families. I am CPR and First AID Certified (including infant, pediatric, and adult) as well.

Kristina is a awesome babysitter who is reliable, trustworthy, and great with kids! We were in a bind a few months ago because our nanny left us unexpectedly. I had about 6 weeks to go before I was going to be out on maternity leave for our second child and we needed someone to work in a part-time nanny capacity until I stopped working. We were fearful that we wouldn’t find anyone who would be reliable and trustworthy since it was a temporary position, but we were SO thankful when we met Kristina! She was amazing and willing to work with our schedules and keep up with my toddler’s routine so that the transition from our old nanny to her wasn’t super difficult for him. She communicated well and always looked for ways to enrich our son’s days— took him for walks, colored/did crafts, etc. She never relied on TV or an iPad to entertain him and she kept with his routine as much as possible. You can absolutely trust her with your kids and we can’t recommend her enough!

Sherry M., Child Care in Damascus, MD 20872 with 30 years of paid experience

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.

Sonja was a nanny for our son from 12 - 26 months. Sonja is truly an amazing nanny, and an amazing person. She has the sunniest, happiest, most joyful disposition I have seen in a person. In more than a year that she has worked at our house, I have never seen her in a bad mood. She is extremely creative, and comes up with the greatest ideas for kids' playtime. Sonja came up with fantastic crafts projects for our older son. She is a fabulous cook. Even though I did not ask her to clean, she would frequently vacuum the house because she likes everything to be neat and tidy. The kids adored her, and still do. Her generosity knows no bounds. With all this, she is also very professional and punctual. We were extremely happy, and fortunate, to have her with us.

Amy is a 10 out of 10 sitter. My sons felt immediately at ease with “Ms. Amy” who is calm and steady, but also fun and engaged. She took time to connect with my children, which was reassuring. She listened carefully during our interview, and her interactions with my sons were positive; they loved her. She provided references and her recent background check. Amy was professional, and asked solid questions to ensure her approach would align with my preferences for my sons. Will work with her again!

Muriel M., Child Care in Damascus, MD 20872 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello My name is Muriel I have worked with children for 11years, I have plenty of experience working in day cares and with different families. I have a CPR and First aid certification, also I have studied some child development classes. I use to nanny for many families but I took some time off to be with my little one now he is older and am ready to work full time or part time. I do have plenty of references and recommendation letters if needed. Well a little bit about me I believe when taking care of children they need attention love and plenty of imagination and fun activities so usually with me its about having a good time and following the rules the parents have left for us and safety, since that is what I instill in my own child and if someone took care of my own child I would want that person to treat him with love, be sweet to him and have fun with him while still following the rules. Well I hope that explained a little bit about myself, if you want to get in contact with me just leave me a message and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Elsa J., Child Care in Damascus, MD 20872 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Elsa and I'm a 24 year old Certified Nursing Assistant / 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 :)!
