Shantia J., Child Care in La Plata, MD 20646 with 4 years of paid experience

I am an experienced babysitter with over 10 years of babysitting experience. Caring for ages newborn to preteens. I have been working part time as a substitute teacher at Safe Haven Babies LLC Day Care in Upper Marlboro Maryland for two years. Per the state of Maryland, I’ve had a background check completed. I have also trained and gotten certified in CPR/First Aid for Adults and Pediatric. During the pandemic I had the opportunity to tutor and help kids while they participated in virtual learning. For a short period of time, I also had the chance to assist as a volunteer at an Assisted living facility. I do light house keeping, along with cooking and can run necessary errands. I have reliable transportation. What I look forward to the most is helping out parents when they need an extra hand or simply needing a break from their everyday parenting life. For my pet lovers, I have experience with caring for household pets. I hope to eventually become bilingual and learn American Sign Language.

Tia has been such a blessing to our family — excellent communication skills and loving caretaker to little ones. She engages in age appropriate play and not only develops a relationship with the children, but the parents as well. We consider her an extension of our family and highly recommend her to any family in need of care.

Ysabel G., Child Care in La Plata, MD 20646 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello dear Parents: I am seeking full time or part-time position. Also, I am available on weekends or as needed. For the last 7 years I have been caring little ones from infants to pre-kindergarteners and elementary kids. I also enjoyed thoroughly working with first time parents caring for little bundles of joy. My last experiences are 15 weeks and 4 and 2-months old babies and now are years old or in preschool. My duties as a nanny are to feed (I can prepare food from scratch) their bottles of formula or breastmilk, change diapers, put them for naps, sleep training. I also play with the baby's toys to encourage them to grasp their toys and mentioning to them the colors, names, and sounds to promote cognitive development. I also put babies in tummy time so that their neck muscles get stronger day by day for later to roll over, sit up, and crawl. I have prepared healthy meals, and I am very organized and like to be active with the kids. I also help them to get ready for bed and wait until parents arrive from work. I currently have Child Development Certification, SIDS, CPR and AED certified as well. Thanks for reading my profile. Ysabel

Ysabel was an amazing sitter for my newborn baby girl. She was attentive and interactive in keeping my baby entertained, had great communication skills, and accommodated my schedule. I will continue to use her down the line.

Jessica  A., Child Care in La Plata, MD 20646 with 20 years of paid experience

Greetings! I am a mom of three older children and I absolutely love children of all ages !! I have been a babysitter, nanny, tutor and a Pre-school teacher. I am certified to teach children Newborn - Kindergarten as well as CPR&First Aid certified(infants-adults). I have a Master’s degree in a discipline outside of childcare. I’ve been in childcare for 20+ years and I truly miss the children & families on a day-to-day basis from my classroom and full-time nanny days. I’m open to cooking for the children, taking them to&from activities, caring for them overnight as well as coming as a travel nanny (once we’re all comfortable) and walks outside/outdoor play, etc.- I’m flexible on activities you may select. I am more than willing to get an additional background check or more training if it’s required. I am familiar with and able to do a nanny share as well. I am vaccinated and have a great driving record. I’m excitedly seeking a full-time nanny position. For group/party inquiries, kindly contact elitechildcare.ecs@gmail.com.

Hello! My name is Patricia, I live in Waldorf, Md. I would love a part time job where I can enjoy caring for your child. I taught children ages 2-13 art and worked in a community center in Northern Virginia. Where several mandatory public safety training courses such as CPR/First Aid were given. I love to enjoy the laughter, and youth of children, learning and sharing!

My name is Carla Kooij and I currently babysit for date-nights or on the weekends. I've been babysitting since 2010. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Goucher College, and am certified in First Aid and CPR for infants, children and adults. I enjoy caring for children of all ages, and I have babysat for many families, military and non-military, and/or families who come to town for a wedding or event, and I've stayed at the hotel with their children while they are at the event. I prepare meals for children, do light housekeeping, help with homework, read children stories, supervise bedtime routines, help with bathroom activities (toilet, brushing teeth, bathing). I love playing games with children too, inside or out. I have babysat up to four children at a time from 2 months to 17 years old although now I prefer one to two children to watch. I’m a U.S. citizen and live in Alexandria, VA. I'm trustworthy, dependable, friendly and kind.

Carla was so sweet and nice! She was on time and even brought her puppet collection for our son to play with; which he just loved. She sent us pictures of him while we were out and was just a delight to have as our sitter. We would definitely recommend Carla for any of your sitter needs!

We had the pleasure of meeting Shelene in person while interviewing candidates for our daughter’s nanny. During that process, she also spent an afternoon caring for our daughter, which gave us the chance to see her professionalism and attentiveness firsthand. She was extremely professional, well spoken, and clearly deeply cares about the work she does. Her nursing background came through strongly in the thoughtful questions she asked about our daughter’s needs, and it was obvious that she is highly qualified and would make an outstanding nanny. Although we ultimately did not move forward with Shelene, that decision had nothing to do with her qualifications, and we were more than confident that she would have been an amazing fit for our family. We would absolutely consider working with her in the future and would feel very confident recommending her to other families.

Nylah M., Child Care in La Plata, MD 20646 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Nylah Mitchell, and I’m a recent graduate from George Mason University with a passion for working with kids. I have several years of babysitting experience through referrals, caring for children of all ages—from infants to preteens. Over the years, I’ve babysat an infant for multiple summers, spent a full year caring for a 10-year-old in New York City, watched two junior high age girls for a date night, and looked after a pre-teen a few times throughout one summer. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment tailored to each child's personality and interests. I was certified in first aid and CPR in high school, ensuring I’m prepared for any situation. Whether we're building Lego sets, playing Roblox, watching movies, or baking pizza and cookies, I always strive to make babysitting a fun and enriching experience. I’d love the opportunity to care for your little ones—feel free to reach out!

I love working with children because I’m very patient, creative, adaptable, professional and get along super easy with children, I find it easy to do this job because I can get down to a child’s level in a way they feel free to interact with me while still maintaining mutual respect.
