She is amazing! I’m a first time mom and a single parent. My son is my absolute world so I was incredibly nervous to leave him with anyone. Bessi went above and beyond to make sure I was updated on how he was doing. Every picture she sent made me smile ear to ear during my work training. Finding someone you not only like but trust to watch your baby is incredibly difficult. So when you do, it’s an amazing feeling. I highly recommend her. My baby is 2 months old and he was very well taken care of. She has a wonderful set up for older children to play and learn as well. I definitely intend to continue working with her!

Tiffany W., Child Care in Frederick, MD 21701 with 9 years of paid experience

Hello, My name is Tiffany. I currently work full time in accounting while I care for 3-year-old twins and a 4-year-old boy when mom needs time for herself. This includes the preparation of meals, assisting in potty training, educational play, bath, and bedtime routine. I have also worked on and off for 5 years for a family of 9-year-old twin boys and a 13-year-old girl which included; picking them up from school, driving them to their activities, guiding them with homework, housework, preparing dinner for the family, and getting the children to bed. A few years ago, I was in Spain as an Au Pair living with a family of a 5-year-old girl. I taught her English, took her to her activities, and helped with housework. I enjoy hiking, doing nails, going to the beach, cooking, swimming, doing arts and crafts, and exploring new things. I am an upbeat, responsible, patient, and well-organized person who is great at multitasking. I have references available who would be happy to speak with you on my behalf. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you more about caring for your children. I hope that you will review my profile and contact me to discuss the position. For me, being a nanny is not simply a job, it is important for me to build a relationship with your family. I wish you good luck in your search and I thank you for taking the time to consider me. Kind Regards, Tiffany Whitney

We met Tiffany on Saturday to nanny our two and a half year old son for seven days while our usual nanny is out of town. Our son was really comfortable playing with her. She is super responsible and good with children.

Shakera R., Child Care in Frederick, MD 21701 with 13 years of paid experience

I’m a passionate and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I’ve spent a large part of my career with the YMCA in before- and after-school programs, where I supported children’s development through structured activities, homework help, and positive behavior guidance. I also have daycare experience working closely with infants and toddlers, focusing on routines, early learning, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. In addition to my center-based experience, I’ve worked as a nanny for multiple families, where I provided personalized care, helped manage daily schedules, and transported children to and from activities. I’ve also stepped into leadership roles, including serving as a substitute director, which strengthened my ability to manage responsibilities, communicate effectively with families, and lead with confidence. I’m CPR/First Aid trained and vaccinated. I bring a warm, energetic, and attentive approach to every family I work with. I truly enjoy building strong connections with children and supporting their growth in a fun, safe, and engaging way.

Shakera was wonderfully engaging with our toddler — patient, attentive, and clearly passionate about early childhood. Our little one made real progress with new words during her stay, which we credit entirely to the rich, stimulating interaction Shakera provided throughout each day.

Shaunda B., Child Care in Frederick, MD 21701 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is LaShaunda, but I go by Shaunna. I’ll be turning 32 this year, and I’m a former early childhood educator with a teaching career that began in 2014, specializing in preschool education through 2021. During those years, I developed a deep love for nurturing young children’s growth; academically, socially, and emotionally. In addition to teaching, I’ve volunteered with organizations supporting refugee children in need as well as children affected by abuse, experiences that strengthened my compassion, patience, and trauma-informed approach to caregiving. I stepped away from the classroom to focus on becoming a mother, a role that deeply shaped both my personal life and professional path. Through motherhood, I felt called to support families in a more holistic way and became a certified full-spectrum doula, helping families prepare emotionally, physically, and mentally for the birth of their child. From 2022–2024, I also worked closely with children and adults with special needs, including autism, while running my own doula business—further strengthening my ability to provide individualized, empathetic, and patient care. While I’m not ready to return to a traditional classroom setting, I’m excited to share my passion for early learning again—just as I do while homeschooling my preschool-aged son. Our finished basement is thoughtfully set up as a play-based school environment, designed to encourage learning through exploration, creativity, structure, and routine. I’m currently seeking a flexible family who is comfortable with my two children (ages 4 and 1) being with me, and who is also understanding that I am expecting my third child. I am available for childcare in my home or yours and am looking for a position through August 2026. I am available for occasions, last minute sitting, date nights, late morning start Tues- Thurs. If you’re looking for someone experienced, nurturing, and deeply invested in children’s development, while offering a home-like, structured, and loving environment, I would love to connect and be considered as part of your child or children’s learning journey

Akirah J., Child Care in Frederick, MD 21701 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi my name Akirah, I grew up in Frederick, MD and had an affinity for children at a early age. I loved babysitting my family and friends kids, anytime i can. I always invented creative and fun games, and I find that children have always connected to my personality and my exciting spirit. I love babysitting it is the most rewarding and fulfilling job out there. Children are a delightful gift: they bring so much joy to my heart and make every day so much better. I knew that working as a child care provider was right for me. I adore children of all ages, especially toddlers. I love playing dress-up, reading stories, arts and crafts, hide ‘n’ seek, or any games that encourage children to learn and grow and express themselves. I love what I do, and I love children. Babysitting is enriching and full of wonderful surprises. I have my CPR/AED/First- Aid(Infant,Child,Adult)

Akirah was a fantastic Nanny to us. She was very competent, calm and kind. She managed our kids and household very well. She left our employ only because we left the area.

Kristen M., Child Care in Frederick, MD 21701 with 18 years of paid experience

Hello Families of SitterCity! I have decided to open my availability to start scheduling “date night”, weekend & occasional sitting! I am a full time nanny, but when you love what you do, doing it all the time makes it easy to do! I love helping, spending time with and teaching children of all ages. I have an extensive background in healthcare as a Certified Medical Assistant and FDA Study Research Coordinator (4 ½ years in Pediatrics, 7 weeks years in Women’s Health/OBGYN and 1 year in Cardiology). I was in Nursing School, but had to stop when my mom became ill. I hope to soon obtain my Newborn Care Specialist certificate, and I am also perusing my Doula birth/labor and postpartum certification. My passion for helping people goes way beyond an “office” setting. I truly enjoy spending time with an entire family and helping out in all aspects. I’ve been with my current nanny family for 18 months, since their little one was 3 months old. The family I was with prior I was with for 2 year (since their little one was 2 months). I’ve also been a medical caregiver for 2 years for a little one who was born at 24 weeks. I worked directly with his care team including Infants & Toddlers, PT/OT/SLP, developmental pediatrician and primary pediatrician and GI. I have always loved children and families, and both of my older sisters turned to me for help after their had their kids (I have 4 nephews). Many parents/grandparents have called me the “baby whisperer”. My currently availability is: weekends, weekday evenings (“Date night”), and occasional Fridays after 1pm. I have extensive experience caring for children, both well and sick, special needs, and I am also able to do overnight stays! I'd love to care for your children, too! I started babysitting when I was a young teen for families in the neighborhood, and younger members in my own family. I'm professional, trustworthy, patient, experienced and organized, and know how to be fun and silly with little ones (and don’t mind digging in the dirt, playing with sidewalk chalk, or mixing up a fresh batch of playdoh).

Meghan was really wonderful with our 6 month old son. She arrived on time both times and was great, very sweet, and it seems like our son had fun with her. I wish she lived near us but she is only in town on school break. Emily

I don't think words can even begin to describe how phenomenal Adrian is as a caregiver. We hired Adrian in July 2021 as a full-time nanny for our 6 month old son and she was with us for two years until my family moved out of state. My husband and I are both physicians and have very early morning work hours (sometimes as early as 515am) and long days (12-14 hours). Adrian always said "just tell me when you need me and I'll be there" and it was the truth. She was so flexible and accomodating to our busy lives and we could rely on 110%. Even if there were last minute changes to our schedules she would always make it work for us. Even with her high reliability and work ethic, that paled in comparison to how much she truly cared about our son and how well she treated him. As first time parent she was so helpful in getting him on a consistent schedule for us (he used to almost never nap in his crib before her), she was very educational too teaching him colors, numbers, and so many words! I trusted Adrian completely with his safety and she would always touch base if she was ever concerned about anything. Our son is very active and always wanting to explore and be on the go, but Adrian kept right up and introduced him to so many new things and places like the zoo, different parks, museums, splash pads, she even took him to swim lessons! I never once worried about his safety and honestly Adrian became just like part of our family. She was so easy to work with and talk to and really cared about our family's values, making sure to incorporate that into her care and routine with our son. My son absolutely adored Adrian. He would light up when she would walk into our house and when it was time to leave he would stand at the front window saying goodbye and blowing kisses until she drove away. If we could have taken her with us when we moved I would have in a heartbeat. Any family would be lucky to have her in their lives and we will truly miss her in ours.
