Hello Families of SitterCity! I have decided to open my availability to start scheduling “date night”, weekend & occasional sitting! I am a full time nanny, but when you love what you do, doing it all the time makes it easy to do! I love helping, spending time with and teaching children of all ages. I have an extensive background in healthcare as a Certified Medical Assistant and FDA Study Research Coordinator (4 ½ years in Pediatrics, 7 weeks years in Women’s Health/OBGYN and 1 year in Cardiology). I was in Nursing School, but had to stop when my mom became ill. I hope to soon obtain my Newborn Care Specialist certificate, and I am also perusing my Doula birth/labor and postpartum certification. My passion for helping people goes way beyond an “office” setting. I truly enjoy spending time with an entire family and helping out in all aspects. I’ve been with my current nanny family for 18 months, since their little one was 3 months old. The family I was with prior I was with for 2 year (since their little one was 2 months). I’ve also been a medical caregiver for 2 years for a little one who was born at 24 weeks. I worked directly with his care team including Infants & Toddlers, PT/OT/SLP, developmental pediatrician and primary pediatrician and GI. I have always loved children and families, and both of my older sisters turned to me for help after their had their kids (I have 4 nephews). Many parents/grandparents have called me the “baby whisperer”. My currently availability is: weekends, weekday evenings (“Date night”), and occasional Fridays after 1pm. I have extensive experience caring for children, both well and sick, special needs, and I am also able to do overnight stays! I'd love to care for your children, too! I started babysitting when I was a young teen for families in the neighborhood, and younger members in my own family. I'm professional, trustworthy, patient, experienced and organized, and know how to be fun and silly with little ones (and don’t mind digging in the dirt, playing with sidewalk chalk, or mixing up a fresh batch of playdoh).

Hello, my name is Jennifer. I was a stay-at-home mom to my two daughters, now 20 and 21 years old and in college. While I was home with my children, I also provided childcare to various families in my community. I have been a volunteer and board member of the PTA for all the years that my daughters were in school, an approved school /classroom volunteer, and served as a Girl Scout leader (where I held certifications in First Aid and CPR). As toddlers and preschoolers, my daughters were involved in many enriching and fun activity programs such as Kindermusik, Little Gym tumbling/gymnastics, and local library programs - to name a few. We also enjoyed regular neighborhood walks, visits to the park for outdoor play, and field trips to the zoo or other age-appropriate locations. During their school years, both of my girls became very active with sports and extracurricular activities. I managed their busy schedules, navigated their transportation, prepared snacks and drinks for those activities as needed. I also volunteered to help with the team and extracurricular activities such as concession stand duties, fundraising, and carpooling. Recently, I volunteered for an organization called Blessings in a Backpack for their emergency distribution from March to August. Providing supplement food for children in Frederick County over the weekends. I am now helping with a nonprofit called Each 1 Teach 1 Inc. in Frederick, providing lifelong social & emotional learning skills to marginalized youth through Yoga, Breath & Mindful practices. While I may not have the background in a licensed childcare setting, I have the experience caring for my children and children from this platform. I feel this would qualify me for the care of your child(ren). I look forward to discussing the opportunity to provide excellent care for your family. Thank you for your time, Jennifer

Hi, I'm Lauren! I am a caretaker, an artist and a hobby gardener. As one of six children I am no stranger to the joy-filled chaos of young children, or the necessity of multitasking and prep work to keep a happy household running smoothly. In addition to the immediate tasks of childcare like playtime, planning activities, and helping with schoolwork, I am also comfortable preparing meals and snacks, cleaning and tidying the house, and running whatever errands are most helpful. I have been the go-to neighborhood babysitter since I was a teenager and have had the pleasure of taking care of kids from 6 week old infants to twelve year old preteens! I am Red Cross CPR and First Aid Certified and have volunteer experience working with kids with childhood illness including those dealing with chronic illness, cancer, heart conditions, stoma bags, and other GI issues.

If you have any interest in seeing if I'd be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hello families! I love working with children and have worked in a professional childcare setting for quite a while. I also started babysitting around the age of 15. I am currently working towards my B.A in psychology. I love creating a fun,safe, and nurturing environment! Activities such as art, cooking, science experiments, etc. I also don't mind helping around the house (cooking, light cleaning, etc). I am also an animal lover at heart! So helping with pets is fine as well.

Hi! My name is Vanessa, and I’m a college student that is transferring to West Chester University as a Public Health major. I’m CPR and CMT certified with professional caregiving experience as a Direct Support Professional. I also have experience caring for my younger cousins (ages 7+) by supervising them, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, keeping them entertained, and making sure they were always safe. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy creating a fun, positive, and safe environment for children.

I’ve always had a natural love for children and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Throughout the years, I’ve always been the person in my family who happily takes on the responsibility of caring for the little ones. My family even calls me the “baby whisperer” because of how naturally I connect with children! I’ve also been babysitting for families outside of my own for many years, starting when I was 10 years old. I love keeping kids engaged, having fun with them, and creating an environment where they feel comfortable, happy, safe, and cared for. I also attended college for Elementary Education and graduated Cum Laude, which gave me valuable knowledge and experience in understanding children’s needs, development, and learning. Whether I’m babysitting, helping with homework, playing, preparing meals, or simply being there to make sure a child feels supported, I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s child very seriously. My goal is always for parents to feel confident and comfortable knowing their children are in caring, attentive, and trustworthy hands. 💕
