Rachel was excellent with our 8-month old daughter. We contacted her last-minute after our Nanny had called out for the whole week with short notice, and Rachel was able to cover the whole week. Our daughter is going through a major stranger-danger phase, so there was a lot of crying in the beginning. Rachel was great at staying calm and gently forming a bond and trust with our baby. By the end of the week, our daughter was beaming every time Rachel walked in the door. We definitely hope to use her services again in the future!

Sherry M., Child Care in Poolesville, MD 20837 with 30 years of paid experience

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.

I am an easy going, fun loving person who knows how to get things done with a positive attitude. I am a hard worker and dedicated. I pay attention to detail and love learning and growing. A bit about my experience as a nanny: I have a lot of experience with kiddos over the years of being a nanny. I have watched twins, and kids with simple special needs, I have been responsible for getting kids to and from school and events, meals, and educational learning. I enjoy taking kids to museums, parks, and libraries, because it is wonderful to help kids learn and grow and explore. I love making every experience fun and a learning moment!

I feel comfortable with multiple kids and multiple ages. I care about safety and health, I am CPR and first aid certified. I don't mind doing simple tasks around the home.

Tracy watched my 7 month in our hotel for a weekend conference. She was punctual and had no problem working around our crazy schedule. My kiddo can be a challenge but she took it all in stride. I would definitely hire her again and wished she lived close by to be a regular sitter. Thanks Tracy!

Muriel M., Child Care in Poolesville, MD 20837 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello My name is Muriel I have worked with children for 11years, I have plenty of experience working in day cares and with different families. I have a CPR and First aid certification, also I have studied some child development classes. I use to nanny for many families but I took some time off to be with my little one now he is older and am ready to work full time or part time. I do have plenty of references and recommendation letters if needed. Well a little bit about me I believe when taking care of children they need attention love and plenty of imagination and fun activities so usually with me its about having a good time and following the rules the parents have left for us and safety, since that is what I instill in my own child and if someone took care of my own child I would want that person to treat him with love, be sweet to him and have fun with him while still following the rules. Well I hope that explained a little bit about myself, if you want to get in contact with me just leave me a message and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

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!

I am a warm, caring, dependable, and energetic professional nanny with over 15 years of experience providing loving, attentive care for newborns, infants, toddlers, and children up to 8 years old. Caring for children is more than just my career-it is truly my passion, and I take great pride in helping them grow, learn, and flourish in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. Throughout my career, I have earned the trust of families by providing exceptional childcare with patience, kindness, and dedication. I have extensive experience creating age-appropriate routines and activities that support children's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. I am currently caring for a wonderful 4-year-old boy whom I have looked after since he was just 4 months old, and it has been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow and reach important milestones. My responsibilities include preparing nutritious meals and snacks, feeding, diapering, children's laundry, maintaining clean and organized play areas, reading books, helping with homework, and planning fun, educational activities. I enjoy taking children to libraries, parks, playgrounds, and other enriching outings. I also provide reliable school drop-offs and pick-ups while encouraging positive behavior, confidence, independence, and healthy social and emotional development. As my current employer in Bethesda is relocating to another state, I am now seeking a full-time nanny position with a loving family, preferably caring for a newborn, toddler and small child. I am committed to providing the highest quality of care and becoming a trusted, dependable part of your family's support system. I have a proven track record of building lasting relationships with the families I work for and can provide outstanding references from both my current and previous employers upon request. Also you can see my work reviews provided by my employers in my profile as well as you can see my background check .
