Beatrice is a great dog sitter for my dog Miska! He's always excited to stay over bc he'll have another dog to play with when staying over and I know while I'm gone he's in good hands with Beatrice!

I am laid back, patient, encourage creativity and exploration, love to read and teach.From 2003 - 2009 I worked for several agencies that assist individuals with developmental disabilities. I love working with children, I have also worked at an elementary school in the guidance department, as well as nannied/babysat for several families for more than 10 years. I taught Sunday School at Saint Philip Neri parish from 1999-2009, ranging from 1st - 6th grades. I have several years experience in a daycare setting. My educational background is in psychology and human services. I have nannied for infants as young as 3 months, and the oldest child is now 15 years, who I care for occasionally on weekends. I am honest, reliable, and respectful. I have several references available upon request. Unfortunately I have developed an allergy to dogs, and can not accept jobs that have dogs in the household. Other pets seem to be okay..

We live out of town, but Nicole sat for us a few times while we were in town, and she was wonderful with our son. She is a real natural with children, and our son loved her. Will definitely be calling her if we find ourselves in the area again!

I am a student at Bowie State University! i love children and seeing them smile warms my heart. I love working with children because they make me feel safe and happy, i could be having the worst day ever and seeing a kid smile or laugh can make my day 10x better. I have worked in a daycare for about a year and a half on & off. I also babysit my siblings/cousins. Something that is different about me is the love i have for children and how soft and gentle i am with them. I think children should be treated with respect and tons of love/care.

Wonderful babysitter—always on time, so gentle and soft with our toddler. She keeps him happy! Just a tad more TV than ideal, but still a lovely experience. Highly Recommend.

Hello my name is Taya , I’m 24 years old and I’m interested in being your sitter. I have 9 years experience with babysitting and child care ,which I was an after school sitter for several different families, for children from pre-school through the 7th grade. I have about 4 years experience working with children who have autism and/or a special disability. I babysit ages anywhere from infant to 13 years old. i have exactly 5 years experience with newborns-3 year olds. I absolutely love being around children and they LOVE being around me. They just bring absolute joy to my heart. I absolutely LOVE the outdoors. I am CPR certified ,I know basic Sign language and basic Spanish, I also have my own car and a clean driving record. I am very caring ,loving, trustworthy, patient and outgoing and love doing different activities that children will find entertaining and enjoy doing. Babysitting/nannying is something I love doing because everyday is something different and it’s absolutely amazing to be apart of a child’s learning and seeing them grow as a person. Families would describe me as someone with a pure heart & genuine intentions. Someone who is trustworthy & reliable & someone is is always in a positive mood. I became a caregiver because I love love love children. I absolutely adore them , they fill a special place in my heart and I love it. The love I have for children is out of this world and I’m more than happy that I make a HUGE POSITIVE impact on these children's lives. It means a lot to me !

Ms. Sheri is a Godsend. I hired her for a sitting job for a family BBQ. Not only did she and her daughter sit for the two children in attendance but also were a tremendous help with prepping for the party and assisted in the kitchen and grill during the party. I will hire her again without hesitation.

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.

Hi families! I’m Victoria, a BLS/CPR-certified nursing student currently earning my RN, with the goal of becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Nursing is my third degree—I also hold a B.S. in Biology and a Master’s in Public Health from Columbia University. I have 3 years of paid childcare experience and over 10 years of experience working with children in educational and community settings. My childcare experience includes working in a daycare, teaching 3rd-grade science, and tutoring children of different ages. I’ve always loved creating an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, educational games, science experiments, homework help, and finding creative, screen-free ways to have fun. While earning my master’s in New York City, I developed an even greater appreciation for child development and the importance of positive, supportive relationships during childhood. That experience helped inspire my decision to pursue pediatric nursing and dedicate my career to caring for children and families. As a sitter, I’m kind, patient, attentive, dependable, and safety-conscious. I’m comfortable balancing fun with routines and boundaries while making sure children feel heard, encouraged, and cared for. I’m also happy to provide tutoring or additional educational support when needed. I have reliable transportation and drive a newer Volvo XC40, which I chose with safety in mind. I also understand that every family’s schedule is different, so I offer flexible availability, including early mornings, daytime care, evenings, and late nights. Whether you need regular support, help around your work or school schedule, or a dependable sitter for date nights, I’d love to be someone your family can count on!
