Hi! I'm Abby, a caring, responsible, and patient sitter currently based in Frederick, Maryland. I'm 23 years old and recently completed my B.A. in Psychology at the University of Maryland–Baltimore County with a minor in dance. I have a strong background in childcare, including hands-on experience through a paid internship as a behavior technician with Advancing Beyond the Spectrum, where I worked closely with nonverbal children with autism using ABA therapy techniques. I recently completed interning at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children headquarters located in Alexandria to help support their mission of keeping children safe. I plan to pursue a Masters in Social Work in 2027 and seek a long term nannying/family assistant position. Working with kids brings me so much joy, it allows me to connect with my inner child, and I truly value the trust families place in me. I'm always ready to meet new challenges with a positive attitude and an open mind. In addition to childcare, I'm also happy to help with pets, I'm an animal lover too! Whether you're looking for someone dependable for occasional sitting or more regular support, I’d love to be part of your family's care team.

If you're looking for someone who embodies compassion and empathy, look no further than Lelo. Over the past year, she has been a remarkable caregiver for my daughter, and our journey together began through our church activities, where Lelo generously volunteered in the children’s church sessions. Since then, she has become an irreplaceable part of our family, providing not only exceptional care but also warmth and joy in our home. We cannot recommend Lelo highly enough. Her dependability, nurturing spirit, and respectful demeanor make her a standout caregiver. If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to us.

Hello! My name is Mary Brooke and I prefer to go by Brooke. I am 28 years old and hoping to fill some free time in order to save enough money to start a small farm. I currently would as a County Executive Director for Frederick and Montgomery/Howard. I have traveled a distance in previous roles so I am no stranger to driving and willing to do that for the right family! Being the oldest child and cousin watching after my younger family members was a great experience in my youth. In college, I set up the SitterCity account for just one of my many jobs. I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelors in Large Animal and Dairy Sciences. I am very comfortable with animals as well! I now enjoy time, when I can, with my niece and nephews. Please feel free to ask me any questions! My availability would be most weekends and afternoon/evenings. I get off work at 4:30, so depending on your location and travel I would be available after then. I have some flexibility for the occasional evening!

We love Makenzie. She’s so creative and always has a new craft or activity up her sleeve. She is dependable and keeps the kids engaged when she is with them. We’d definitely recommend Kenzie for short sits and all day care.

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).

Kristen is awesome. She babysat my toddler probably 4-5 times. She even brought stuff with her (crafts, etc.) She's really reliable. My only complaint is that she's not available much lately!

I absolutely enjoy taking care of children of all ages. It is wonderful to watch childern learn and grow. Every since I was a young child I had a passion for children and taking care of them. I started of working at a day care center where I was an Assistant Teacher in a infant classroom. I loved it very much and very shortly discovered child care is truly my passion. I felt like I was a mom coming to work to take care of my own children. Parents at the day care center began communicating with me realizing that I was a natural when it came to child care and ask if I could babysit their babies and older children on the weekend. Than I bacame a nanny for twin boys for two and a half years. I had a great experience nannying. I have a 90 hour child care certificate and a Child Development Associatecertified also I'm First Aide and CPR certified.
