I am a currently a part time nanny. Babies and toddlers are my favorite: so sweet & cuddly! Everything is new and exciting and I love helping them learn and grow. :) A bit about me: I have my Bachelor's degree. I was a stay-at-home mom with kiddos who are 15, 16 & 19. Since they are big, I'd love to come and spend quality time taking care of your little love. In addition to my current nanny roles, I most recently was a nanny for 7 different families, starting ages: 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 2-mo, 3-mo, 3-mo, 7-mo & 13-mo. I have also worked in a preschool for 3 years with 2, 3 & 4-yr olds. I am an active nanny & some things I enjoy doing with children is baby sign language, playing, reading, walks, playground, swinging, playing outside, bubbles, chalk, dancing, singing, baking, library, gym/music classes & more. CPR & First Aid certified. Criminal and MVR Background check. Non-smoker. Own a 2022 SUV. Can’t wait to meet you and your little one! ❤️ (Also on care.com with over 10 reviews: all 5 🌟 stars!)

Melissa was great. She came with great energy and warmth. My kids enjoyed her every moment. Truly nice and caring individual who even brought games but left my kid with wonderful memories. Thank you so much Melissa. I would hire her any time.

Vickie G., Child Care in Dayton, MD 21036 with 25 years of paid experience

Hi there! I have 25 years of experience as a babysitter, and have worked in day care centers, as well. I'm CPR/First Aid certified. I work full time during the week (at night). I'm available to babysit on Saturday and Sunday evenings*, and I can stay as late as 3:00 a.m. I am sometimes available on short notice, although it's more likely I'll be available to babysit if I'm asked in advance. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! *Time of day can be flexible to a degree, but evenings are when I'm most often available. 😊

Vickie was the first sitter that we hired to watch our twins. She's the only person I've trusted outside of family with them. She communicates extremely well, she's always on time and is wonderful to have watching my boys. She's even able to somehow put my two twins who are two years old and pretty against sleep with us some days right to bed with no issues too! She's great with our twins, they opened right up to her, she plays with them and reads with them too. She genuinely cares, and I really love having her around. I'm so happy that I found her. I don't know what I would have done without Vickie

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.

Olive Y., Child Care in Dayton, MD 21036 with 19 years of paid experience

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. 💕

We love Olive! It's quite obvious that her gift is taking care of babies. She cared for my six month old and he loved her soothing energy and playfulness. The one thing we loved about her was her attention on our baby. Some people just do the bare minimum to make sure the baby is fed, clean, etc, but Olive actually engages plays and sings to the baby constantly. It's so sweet. We 1000% recommend her.

Alisa H., Child Care in Dayton, MD 21036 with 30 years of paid experience

I was a babysitter for my extended family and neighbors during my teenage years and as a college graduate. I continued babysitting through graduate school (for education and counseling)and into my early adult years. Even now, as an adult, I still enjoy babysitting because I love children. I have been a teacher in early childhood and elementary schools, as well as a summer camp counselor and director, for many years. As a result of my job in education, I have undergone and cleared several criminal background checks. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, and I have my own car. I enjoy doing schoolwork, participating in sports, playing games, and engaging in arts and crafts with children. I enjoy being positive, creative, and engaging with kids because they have wonderful imaginations, and I love having fun with them. I try to teach children a great deal, but I also always learn a great deal from them! It's always a win-win situation.

first of all, I am blessing mother of three boys, 31-29-28 years old, I am a blessed grandmother I was born and I grew up in El Salvador, I am a family physician and public health in my country, emigrating to the United States 20 years ago, have worked with RN, tolders in personal care and healthy living. for children (food, clothing, bath, sleep them, different skill inside and outside the houses, visit the library.) Children and I enjoyed many parents  Biografia     I prefer a position in which I am needed to help, not replace the parent, in an informal atmosphere.  I am seeking a long-term position with a family. Ideally with an infant or young children. i am seeking a situation where I may build a rapport to supplement the parents. I am flexible and capable of doing any of the housework listed, but not at the expense of time with the children. I would also wish to find parents whose philosophy of childcare is in agreement with mine. Those who show their children constant love Those who accept them and respect them, shower them with attention when they want it, and limits only when they need them. Also, parents who will be there to show them the world and help to raise great kids. thank you, I LOVE WORKING TOGETHER and we will see your children grow healthy: physical & mental.

I had met Cecilia about 4 years ago. She is a fantastic sitter, having watched my children many times. She is always on time and helps by having the house clean and the children in bed when I return. I highly recommend Cecilia! Michelle Ellis
