Tiffany J., Child Care in Forest Hill, MD 21050 with 24 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Tiffany. I am a forty-year-old military spouse. I recently moved to Bel Air. I have three children; a twenty-five year old daughter, a fifteen-year-old son, and an ten-year-old son. I am a registered nurse. I am certified in Pediatric & Adult CPR, First Aid, and Basic Life Support. I have been providing care for children since I was twelve years old. I would provide care for a lot of my neighbors, friends, family, and friends of my family members. They would refer me to anyone they knew who was looking for childcare. Since my husband has been in the military, we have lived in Tampa for four years, Hawaii for four years, Texas for one year, Washington state for two years and now back in Maryland. While residing at these locations, I have provided care for a few of the military families that I had the pleasure of meeting. I provide care in my home because it allows me to be available for my children as well if there are any changes with school or if they need to stay home. However, I am open to possibly providing care in your home depending on the day, time, and situation. We can discuss if that would be an option. My house is very safe and child-friendly with plenty of toys and age-appropriate activities to keep your children entertained. I like to incorporate learning into play to make learning fun and can provide homework help. If you're interested, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you to see if I can help meet all of you and your family's needs. Thank you for your time and have a blessed day!

We’ve been very happy with Iqra as our after-school sitter for our 5-year-old son. She’s dependable, always arrives on time, and communicates clearly and promptly with us. What we appreciate most is how genuinely engaged she is with our son—she plays with him, encourages his imagination, and keeps him happily active after a long day of school. He looks forward to seeing her, which says a lot! We feel confident and comfortable knowing he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend.

Tracy has babysat my 3 children (ages 6, 2, and a baby) several time now and we are so thankful we found her! Since we usally live close to family, I had never hired a sitter before so I was a bit uneasy at first. Tracy put all my worries at ease! After the 1st time, my kids were asking when she could come back. Our 2 year old is quite the firecracker and a baby of course requires even more care but we have always felt very confident that Tracy could handle them. There have been times when I have texted her to see if we could return later than our original expected time (having too much fun w/ the hubby!) and that has never been a problem, she's always been happy to stay later. I asked if she could babysit once with only a 2 day notice and it was not a problem. She's sweet, responsible, trustworthy, knowledgable, a mom, and is very understanding...what more could you ask for? We'll be sad to lose her once we move back home!!

Karen C., Child Care in Forest Hill, MD 21050 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Karen. I am a devoted and loving mom of two young adults. As a former foster parent for the state of Maryland, I have cared for children of all ages and am CPR certified and first aid trained through the Red Cross. I have experience caring for children who have autism, ADHD and other disabilities. In addition to raising my own children and fostering, I acquired childcare experience through babysitting for family, friends and neighbors, previously working at a daycare center, leading classroom lessons and activities at my church and also substitute teaching elementary age students. Watching children learn and grow through engaging interaction is fulfilling and enjoyable to me. I like to occupy children with craft activities, art projects, games and puzzles, outdoor play, cooking lessons...anything that limits screen time and encourages imagination and creativity. I believe that some down time is also important. For that purpose, book reading, puppet shows, cloud shape guessing and wildlife watching would be some of my possible choices. There's surely no lack of things I could come up with to keep children busy, but the number one reason to choose me to be your caregiver is this...I love kids! They make life fun! I really enjoy teaching them and then watching them progress through their many stages of childhood. You can expect that I will treat your child/children with respect and I will nurture and care for them as if they were my own.

Karen was perfect for us. Karen was always right there for us. The boys just love her and the boys never seemed to tire of trying to show off for her. It is hard to think that we could find a better sitter than Karen.

Jess V., Child Care in Forest Hill, MD 21050 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I have 19 years of childcare experience through babysitting, nannying, and early childhood education. I started babysitting at 14 years old and have always had a genuine passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at The Goddard School for four years as a Teacher Assistant, where I helped care for children in a structured classroom environment. My responsibilities included supporting daily routines, assisting with educational activities, supervising playtime, maintaining a safe and nurturing environment, and helping children learn and grow through positive engagement and consistency. My background in psychology, social science, early childhood education, and cybersecurity has helped me develop strong communication, organization, patience, reliability, and a deep understanding of child development and emotional support. Families describe me as dependable, patient, caring, and trustworthy. I love creating a warm, safe, and positive environment where children feel supported, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and parents and understand how important it is for families to feel confident and at ease with their childcare provider. I am also offering nannying care from my home in a smaller, personalized setting. This allows me to provide more one on one attention, a calm environment, structured routines, and individualized care to help each child feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the day. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Jess cared for our two daughters and was truly amazing throughout every stage. She cared for our youngest from the newborn stage through toddlerhood and was also a huge help with our older daughter. She provided loving, reliable care, always kept us updated and made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Leaving my girls in someone else’s care caused me a lot of anxiety at first but Jess eased that anxiety right away with her warmth, communication and genuine care. Jess is patient, nurturing, dependable and truly cares for the children she watches. We only ended care because we moved out of state. We would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for an amazing nanny! We miss her so much and are even planning to meet up for lunch next month with the girls. That’s how much our family loves her!

She cared for my two sons from the time they were just 6 months old through age 4, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust with them. She was always attentive, caring, and genuinely involved in their day-to-day lives. Beyond just watching them, she played an important role in their growth—encouraging learning, guiding their development, and helping build a strong foundation for their education. My boys were always happy, safe, and engaged in her care. I’m so grateful for the love and dedication she showed our family.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Angie to care for our baby and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. From the very beginning, Angie was the epitome of professionalism—always punctual, organized, and prepared for each day with a warm smile and positive attitude. Her attention to detail and dedication to maintaining a clean, safe environment gave us tremendous peace of mind. Whether it was keeping toys organized, tidying up after meals, or maintaining an overall sense of order, Angie was incredibly helpful. Beyond her professionalism, she showed deep attentiveness and a genuine love for children. Angie was always highly communicative, keeping us updated throughout the day with thoughtful notes and observations. She truly listened to and understood our child’s needs, responding with incredible care and patience. Our child absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. Her combination of reliability, warmth, and skill is truly rare. We feel so lucky to have had her in our lives and wholeheartedly recommend Angie to any family looking for exceptional childcare.
