Abby A., Child Care in Jefferson, MD 21755 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Abby, a caring, responsible, and patient sitter currently based in Frederick, Maryland. I'm 23 years old and recently completed my B.A. in Psychology at the University of Maryland–Baltimore County with a minor in dance. I have a strong background in childcare, including hands-on experience through a paid internship as a behavior technician with Advancing Beyond the Spectrum, where I worked closely with nonverbal children with autism using ABA therapy techniques. I recently completed interning at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children headquarters located in Alexandria to help support their mission of keeping children safe. I plan to pursue a Masters in Social Work in 2027 and seek a long term nannying/family assistant position. Working with kids brings me so much joy, it allows me to connect with my inner child, and I truly value the trust families place in me. I'm always ready to meet new challenges with a positive attitude and an open mind. In addition to childcare, I'm also happy to help with pets, I'm an animal lover too! Whether you're looking for someone dependable for occasional sitting or more regular support, I’d love to be part of your family's care team.

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!

Lydia has helped our family twice with back up care. She had very little notice and was extremely puntual. Lydia also meshed well with my 13 year old and 1 year old . She got my little one to stick to his sleep schedule so that was impressive! Thank you Lydia !!!

Felisha interviewed for our nanny position in Feb 2014. She did a fantastic job. She was very articulate and engaging. Unfortunately, she had already accepted another position closer to her home by the time we offered her the job. She has babysat for us and was a temporary nanny for us for two weeks while she waited for her permanent job to start. Felisha is a very lively and fun young lady. She was great with the kids and my 90-year old mother. She has a great deal of initiative. She cleaned out the refrigerator, organized the girls’ rooms, and took my mother shopping, all without being asked. We strongly recommend her.

Lauren B., Child Care in Jefferson, MD 21755 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi, I'm Lauren! I am a caretaker, an artist and a hobby gardener. As one of six children I am no stranger to the joy-filled chaos of young children, or the necessity of multitasking and prep work to keep a happy household running smoothly. In addition to the immediate tasks of childcare like playtime, planning activities, and helping with schoolwork, I am also comfortable preparing meals and snacks, cleaning and tidying the house, and running whatever errands are most helpful. I have been the go-to neighborhood babysitter since I was a teenager and have had the pleasure of taking care of kids from 6 week old infants to twelve year old preteens! I am Red Cross CPR and First Aid Certified and have volunteer experience working with kids with childhood illness including those dealing with chronic illness, cancer, heart conditions, stoma bags, and other GI issues. I would consider one of my greatest strengths my sincere belief that playing is good for your brain and for your heart, and as long as we can work together there's nothing we can't do. If you have any interest in seeing if I'd be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!
