Heather H., Child Care in Jacksonville, MD 21131 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Heather was a nanny for our son, starting from when he was an infant for about a year and a half until he started daycare. She was fantastic. She was very sweet, patient, and loving with him; always came up with creative and engaging ways to play indoors and outdoors; sang songs to him and taught him basic sign language to communicate; was attentive to his every need; and from a parent's perspective was very easy to work with. She was always very prompt, communicative about their day together and any needs or concerns she identified, and always gave as much advance notice as she could for those rare occasions she needed off or was too ill to work. We enjoyed having her care for our son, and he absolutely adored everything about her. Would highly recommend hiring Heather.

I am pretty flexible and can start as early as this evening.

As a dedicated childcare provider, I am passionate about fostering bright futures and nurturing individuals of all backgrounds. With a Bachelor’s degree in Human Ecology and Master’s 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 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. I am excited to bring my skills and compassionate approach to families, ensuring a nurturing and enriching experience for children.

Kel helped us out on weekdays for a month (Jan. 2022) when we were in a bind. She was wonderful and we really miss her! She was so patient with the kids (5 and almost 2) and kept them safe. She loved playing with them and knew how to set appropriate boundaries when their behavior slipped. She did very well sticking to their schedule and keeping them in their routine. My family greatly benefited from her help and the kids loved her. Her education background really came through in using different communication strategies and educational activities with the kids. I could tell she truly enjoys working with children. Don’t miss the opportunity to have her work with your child!

From the moment she came for the interview, I could tell she genuinely cared about children. She was so warm, professional, and easy to talk to. What stood out the most was her willingness to jump right in and offer to start that same night, which truly meant a lot to our family. She stayed with my children, treated them with kindness, patience, and care, and made them feel comfortable almost immediately. My kids responded so well to her, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She went above and beyond, not just as a babysitter, but as someone who truly showed compassion and reliability when we needed it most. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.

Hi! I'm Amara, and caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I've spent most of my life looking after kids, from helping care for my younger brother to babysitting my relatives' children, which has given me years of practical experience with children of different ages and personalities. I'm CPR certified, have my own reliable transportation, and can help with meal prep, diaper changes, bedtime routines, homework, playtime, and keeping children safe while having fun. I know every child is different, so I'm happy to learn your family's routines and preferences to provide the best care possible. I'm dependable, patient, and caring, and I want to build trusting relationships with both children and parents. Whether you need an occasional babysitter or regular help, I'd love the opportunity to support your family.
