Jalisa J., Child Care in Poolesville, MD 20837 with 10 years of paid experience

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 have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. 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. If you’re looking for a dependable, nurturing, and experienced nanny to care for your children, I’d love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs!

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.

Lisa Z., Child Care in Poolesville, MD 20837 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!

Belkis was punctual and right on task. She was available around a holiday, and on short notice. We needed her to entertain our young toddle for eight hours among a chaotic day, and she was up to the task. When we asked her near the end to please stay an additional hour, she was flexible and able to do so. Definitely would go with her again.

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.

We absolutely LOVE Licda! She has been with our family six days a week for nearly two years, caring for our son Kai since he was just 6 months old. Licda is incredibly attentive and intuitive—she has consistently adapted to Kai’s needs at every stage of his development. She is patient, warm, and gentle, while also being engaging, playful, and genuinely fun. Kai has learned so much under her care, including early chores and over 100 English words. She is also exceptionally clean, respectful, and organized—our home is often tidier when she leaves than when she arrives. Licda remembers details and follows directions with great care, even over long periods of time, which speaks to her professionalism and dedication. She is reliable, punctual, and someone we trust completely with our child. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her—we cannot recommend her highly enough.
