Belkis was punctual and right on task. She was available around a holiday, and on short notice. We needed her to entertain our young toddle for eight hours among a chaotic day, and she was up to the task. When we asked her near the end to please stay an additional hour, she was flexible and able to do so. Definitely would go with her again.

Lisa Z., Child Care in Dickerson, MD 20842 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello, everyone! My name is Lisa, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself as a sitter. I am not just your average sitter - I am a division 1 softball player and a student majoring in Applied Mathematics. One of the things that sets me apart is my love for being active. I believe in the power of physical activity and outdoor play for children's development, so you can count on me to engage your little ones in fun and stimulating activities. Whether it's playing catch, going for a bike ride, or simply running around in the park, I'll make sure your kids have a great time while staying active. Another passion of mine is sewing and embroidery. I find joy in creating unique and personalized items, so if your children are interested in learning some basic sewing skills or need help with a craft project, I'm here to lend a hand. Of course, I can't forget to mention my love for dogs. They bring so much joy and companionship, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. If you have a furry friend at home, rest assured that they will receive plenty of attention and love from me. What I love most about being a sitter is the opportunity to create meaningful bonds with children. I believe in fostering a safe and nurturing environment where kids can thrive and express themselves freely. Building trust and establishing a connection with each child is of utmost importance to me. Lastly, I want to assure you that I take safety seriously. I am CPR + First Aid certified, and I have received the COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots. Your children's well-being is my top priority, and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety and happiness while in my care. I am excited to meet your family and create wonderful memories together. Thank you for considering me as your sitter!

We had an outstanding experience with Lisa! We hired her through Sittercity to drive our teenager from school to the airport, and she was absolutely fantastic—reliable, professional, and incredibly communicative. Even though we never met her in person before the job, we reviewed her social media profile instead of conducting a formal interview, and she came across as a very trustworthy and grounded young lady. That impression turned out to be completely accurate. Lisa followed every detail of our text communication and task list without missing a beat. She even texted us when she left her house to pick him up, which was very reassuring. Throughout the drive, she kept us updated every step of the way—with ETA updates, notices about gas stops and quick personal pit stops, and check-ins when they were back on the road. Her proactive communication gave us complete peace of mind. She was punctual, respectful, and made our teen feel comfortable and safe. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommended!

Hi there! My name is Jalisa , and I’ve been working with children for over 10 years. My background is in child development, and I’m passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and loving environment. I have been home based part- time and full time for some time.

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!

Karina was very quick to respond, did an interview and working interview and worked with us to craft a contract that worked for both of us. My 2yo took to her on day one calling her Karna when taking about her after the first visit and was excited enough the second time Karina came, she ran to the door.

Babita P., Child Care in Dickerson, MD 20842 with 15 years of paid experience

I am a warm, caring, dependable, and energetic professional nanny with over 15 years of experience providing loving, attentive care for newborns, infants, toddlers, and children up to 8 years old. Caring for children is more than just my career-it is truly my passion, and I take great pride in helping them grow, learn, and flourish in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. Throughout my career, I have earned the trust of families by providing exceptional childcare with patience, kindness, and dedication. I have extensive experience creating age-appropriate routines and activities that support children's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. I am currently caring for a wonderful 4-year-old boy whom I have looked after since he was just 4 months old, and it has been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow and reach important milestones. My responsibilities include preparing nutritious meals and snacks, feeding, diapering, children's laundry, maintaining clean and organized play areas, reading books, helping with homework, and planning fun, educational activities. I enjoy taking children to libraries, parks, playgrounds, and other enriching outings. I also provide reliable school drop-offs and pick-ups while encouraging positive behavior, confidence, independence, and healthy social and emotional development. As my current employer in Bethesda is relocating to another state, I am now seeking a full-time nanny position with a loving family, preferably caring for a newborn, toddler and small child. I am committed to providing the highest quality of care and becoming a trusted, dependable part of your family's support system. I have a proven track record of building lasting relationships with the families I work for and can provide outstanding references from both my current and previous employers upon request. Also you can see my work reviews provided by my employers in my profile as well as you can see my background check . I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience, compassion, and dedication to your family.
