We feel incredibly lucky to have had Carisa as our nanny. She started with our family when our baby girl was just four months old, and from the very beginning she made such a positive difference in our lives. Carisa is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also a genuinely caring and wonderful person. She supported our daughter through so many important developmental milestones like helping with the transition to purees, encouraging tummy time, practicing sitting, and planning age-appropriate activities that supported her development. It was clear that she truly understood infant development and always approached everything with patience and care. Our baby absolutely loves Carisa, and it’s easy to see why. She brings warmth, attentiveness, and a calm presence every day. As a new mom, it meant everything to be able to return to work knowing my baby girl was in such loving and capable hands. Carisa was always punctual, extremely reliable, and consistently flexible. Always willing to stay late or come in early whenever we needed help. That level of dependability made a huge difference for our family. I wholeheartedly recommend Carisa to any family, especially new parents who are looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. She truly is the best person you could have caring for your baby.

Clifford did a wonderful job with my infant son. My mom, who is a retired nurse, was around to observe and said he did the best job out of multiple sitters we have had. Punctual, responsive, sweet and completely reliable.

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. So my home is set and ready to assist with all children’s needs as well as toys and crafts for all developing age groups. So whether it’s your home or mine I’m prepared for all settings. As a mom of two, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones. I treat every child as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and consistency.

I’m also comfortable and experienced working with children who have disabilities, providing individualized care and support to meet their unique needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I enjoy planning creative activities, outdoor play, reading time, and hands-on learning experiences that make each day special.

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.

Hi Moms and Dads thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Sherry living in Gaithersburg Md. I have worked as a babysitter /nanny for over 40yrs. I worked for family's all over Montgomery County . I have work with preemies, new-born, toddlers and school age children. I have had experience with down syndrome children and one that requires a feeding tube. As a nanny I want your child/children to know that I am there to keep them safe and give love while their parents work. I will protect them as if they are my own. I read, sing song, go out, do craft and get down on the floor, and play. I enjoy going to story time and other activities. Sorry, I don't do public pools. I have travel with my family's to other states. I even travel to Spain with one of my family and stayed for 2months. I also do short term jobs and long term. My last family I was with for 3 years. I try to to support my family's as much as I can, whether it's a emergency or something else. I like to build a bond with the kids that I take care of so they feel safe and love at all times. Yes this is a job but how can you spend time with beautiful kids and not love on them. I do have my own car seats less then 2yrs old and kept clean. They are Graco.

We have enjoyed having Sherry serve as our nanny for our little daughter. She has a calm demeanor and my daughter quickly took a liking to her and felt comfortable in her presence. Sherry is very communicative and proactive in providing useful tips to assist with overall care of our baby and pointing out areas of concern for collaboration on what the best next step would be for our daughter. We truly appreciate having her as our nanny.

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.

I am a senior at American University majoring in Data Science with a minor in Computer Science. I am currently based in Bethesda, finishing my last semester at AU this fall, and I am looking for part-time babysitting or nannying work. I have 10 years of babysitting experience. I have babysat for over 20 families in Nashville, New York City, and Washington, DC. I have babysat for single families with 2-3 children aged between 3 months to 9 years old, and I have done formal, weekly childcare for churches where I supervised groups of kids aged 1-year-old to 12 years. Typically, my tasks included picking up and dropping off from school and after-school activities, aiding the elementary school-aged children with homework, entertaining the kids, changing diapers, cooking nourishing meals, and encouraging good behaviors using positive reinforcement. In single-family settings, I can also provide light housekeeping work such as cleaning and doing laundry. Outside of school and babysitting, I love reading, spending time with my puppy Mila, and writing songs. I have self-released two albums and have toured nationally with several bands. I am able to provide guitar and bass lessons for beginner to intermediate players. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you, and I am happy to provide references from my previous clients.
