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!

Hello, My name is Tracy, and I love being nanny! I have been a nanny for over 17 years now and have enjoyed every minute of it! Here is a little bit about me: I love the outdoors! 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 have watched kids as young as 2 months old up to middle school, and enjoy every age group. I have nannied for families as small as 1 child and up to 4 children. 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. Simply put, I love what I do! I would be interested in talking to you more about what your family is looking for in a nanny and the possibility of seeing if I would be a right fit for your family! Thanks!

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!

I like to have fun with children!  Their amazing energy needs to be harnessed in productive ways.  I have the ability to gather bored children and creat a fun craft or game that makes everyone interested.  I have a warm and playful personality making children feel comfortable and safe immediately after meeting me.  I genuinely love children!i

We've worked with Miriam for the past 6 years. We hired "Mimi" part-time back in 2010 and she has been caring for both our sons since they were newborns. She is truly extraordinary: respectful, responsible, loving, structured and professional. She has rarely called in sick and is always on time if not early. She will play on the floor with the boys, take them to the park, to the library, brings over art materials for crafts, reads to them, does homework with my oldest, she loves teaching them sports and music... and we're all very grateful and lucky to have her in our lives. I've had other moms approach me to tell me how great she is with my boys in my absence, and there's just no better feeling than being able to leave the house on my way to work knowing the kids are in great and loving hands. She's also our #1 babysitter and I can leave the house not even having to tell her any instructions because I know she knows exactly how to care for my kids. We have asked her to speak only Spanish to our children, but she speaks excellent English and has cared for all different family types and cultures. She has her own new car and no dependents, so she literally dedicates her life to her childcare kids and families, and she has become part of ours! I can honestly say that she has taught me how to be a better, more patient parent.

I enjoy being with children, they are my little friends. I love reading, coloring, singing, dancing, listening music and getting the fresh air with them outside. We can be silly and loud and we can be quite and listen the wind.

Susan has been seeing our boys since late 2022. She started with our first born and then was introduced to our second born (as he arrived after she met the first). The first loved her immensely. The second grew rapidly fond of her. When we tell them that "Miss Susan" is coming to visit for babysitting, they explode in joy. Once, I had to work from home and could witness her work. Both boys really wanted her attention and they can be intense. She was good at diffusing crises and fights over time with her. They played for hours without any of the boys screaming or arguing. They listen to her so well and she is kind with them (without letting them push her over). She is someone we trust immensely with our kids. And they trust her -- for us, this was pretty much the thing that sealed the deal. A person worth hiring.

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!

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.
