Find experienced child care providers in Essex, MD

Hello and welcome! My name is Darieux, I’m a proud mother, grandmother, wife, and devoted Christian with a heart full of love and a home full of family. As a big sister and auntie to many, caregiving has always been more than a skill, it’s my calling. With over 20 years of hands on experience in nannying and babysitting, I’ve had the joy of nurturing children through every stage of early development. I’ve worked with children of all ages and backgrounds, including those with special needs, and I bring both personal and professional experience in adoption and foster care. I’m deeply respectful of each family’s unique values, routines, and preferences, and I’m known for being dependable, compassionate, and emotionally attuned to the children I care for. While I took time to successfully run my own seasonal business, my passion for childcare never faded. Now that my schedule has opened up days and some nights, I’m excited to return to what I love most: helping children grow in a safe, loving, and structured environment. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting emotional development, and building strong relationships with families from all walks of life. Whether you’re looking for a stable, long term caregiver or someone reliable for last minute support, I’m here to help. I come highly recommended, and I’d be honored to treat your child like one of my own

As a dedicated childcare provider, I am passionate about fostering bright futures and nurturing individuals of all backgrounds. With a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies, focusing on Human Ecology, and currently pursuing my Master’s in Human Ecology with a specialization in Child Development, I bring both educational knowledge and practical experience to my role as a nanny. I have over 5 years of experience working in various childcare settings, including schools and private homes, where I've developed a deep understanding of children's needs. My previous roles have included teaching 1st grade at Loftin Love Academy, where I created engaging lesson plans and fostered an inclusive atmosphere for all students. In addition to my teaching experience, I have provided childcare through Sittercity, managing schedules, planning activities, and supporting children with individualized education plans (IEPs). I also worked as a Mental Health Worker at Sheppard Pratt, helping vulnerable individuals thrive through encouragement and support. I hold certifications in CPR, AED, and First Aid, and I am committed to promoting safety and well-being in every interaction. I believe in creating fun, educational, and supportive environments for children, where they can learn, grow, and express themselves.

Hi I'm Heather! I'm looking for occasional babysitting work. I've worked as a nanny, a substitute pre-school teacher, a dog walker/pet sitter, a behavior technician for young children with autism, and I spent a few years doing wildlife surveys for the U.S. Forest Service. I love working with children because they see the world in a different way. They remind me to live in the moment and the importance of having fun! Some of my favorite activities to do with children are singing and dancing, going on adventure walks, and any sort of art project. I also enjoy fostering a child's natural curiosity about the world around them through reading and hands on experiences. I find childcare fulfilling because it allows me the opportunity to help children develop the skills they need to pursue their dreams.

Never worry about your loved ones while you are away or working. Parenting is already a stressful time, you don’t need the added worry of who is caring for your children.

Having been a nanny and childcare provider for over 15 years I have cared for children of all ages from newborn to age 15. I have various experience with multiples and am ok around household pets. I believe in letting a child be a child and having fun within boundaries and structur. I will make sure your child has the opportunity to experience what life is like through through the various stages of their youth while instilling positive values in themselves and respect for others. I have experience with adopted children, allergies as well as families who speak other languages and am able to quickly learn basic phrases for languages I may not understand.
