Lisa Z., Child Care in Jefferson, MD 21755 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello, everyone! My name is Lisa, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself as a sitter. I am not just your average sitter - I am a division 1 softball player and a student majoring in Applied Mathematics. One of the things that sets me apart is my love for being active. I believe in the power of physical activity and outdoor play for children's development, so you can count on me to engage your little ones in fun and stimulating activities. Whether it's playing catch, going for a bike ride, or simply running around in the park, I'll make sure your kids have a great time while staying active. Another passion of mine is sewing and embroidery. I find joy in creating unique and personalized items, so if your children are interested in learning some basic sewing skills or need help with a craft project, I'm here to lend a hand. Of course, I can't forget to mention my love for dogs. They bring so much joy and companionship, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. If you have a furry friend at home, rest assured that they will receive plenty of attention and love from me. What I love most about being a sitter is the opportunity to create meaningful bonds with children. I believe in fostering a safe and nurturing environment where kids can thrive and express themselves freely. Building trust and establishing a connection with each child is of utmost importance to me. Lastly, I want to assure you that I take safety seriously. I am CPR + First Aid certified, and I have received the COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots. Your children's well-being is my top priority, and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety and happiness while in my care. I am excited to meet your family and create wonderful memories together. Thank you for considering me as your sitter!

We had an outstanding experience with Lisa! We hired her through Sittercity to drive our teenager from school to the airport, and she was absolutely fantastic—reliable, professional, and incredibly communicative. Even though we never met her in person before the job, we reviewed her social media profile instead of conducting a formal interview, and she came across as a very trustworthy and grounded young lady. That impression turned out to be completely accurate. Lisa followed every detail of our text communication and task list without missing a beat. She even texted us when she left her house to pick him up, which was very reassuring. Throughout the drive, she kept us updated every step of the way—with ETA updates, notices about gas stops and quick personal pit stops, and check-ins when they were back on the road. Her proactive communication gave us complete peace of mind. She was punctual, respectful, and made our teen feel comfortable and safe. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommended!

Tiffany W., Child Care in Jefferson, MD 21755 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.

If you're looking for someone who embodies compassion and empathy, look no further than Lelo. Over the past year, she has been a remarkable caregiver for my daughter, and our journey together began through our church activities, where Lelo generously volunteered in the children’s church sessions. Since then, she has become an irreplaceable part of our family, providing not only exceptional care but also warmth and joy in our home. We cannot recommend Lelo highly enough. Her dependability, nurturing spirit, and respectful demeanor make her a standout caregiver. If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to us.

Akirah J., Child Care in Jefferson, MD 21755 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)
