My name is Kenzie, and I'm currently looking for the right long-term family to support with exceptional childcare in the Frederick area (New Market, Frederick, Middletown, Myersville, Thurmont, Westminster, Adamstown). Over the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children as a Private Nanny. I provide much more than supervision-| create a safe, loving, structured, and enriching environment where children feel secure, respected, and encouraged to grow into confident, kind, and independent individuals. I believe childhood should be filled with creativity, exploration, and meaningful connections, so I love planning Montessori-inspired activities, outdoor adventures, crafts, and hands-on learning experiences. My Montessori-inspired approach encourages independence, curiosity, emotional intelligence, and learning through purposeful play while maintaining routines that help children thrive. What I bring to your family: • 7+ years of professional childcare experience * Private Nanny with early childhood education * Experience with children who have special accommodations & allergies * Extensive creative Pinterest inspired crafts * Experience with newborns through school-aged children * Montessori-inspired childcare * CPR & First Aid Certified * Routine and household management * Potty training experience * Professional certifications in child development, infant care, safe sleep, child safety, nutrition, communication, behavior guidance, and early childhood education * Outdoor play prioritized * Fluent in English & Sign Language * NCS Night Doula Certification * Reliable transportation, excellent references, and a clean driving record * I also have a side business where I professionally organize Families describe me as warm, energetic dependable, proactive, organized, and trustworthy. I take pride in building meaningful relationships with children and parents, becoming a reliable extension of the family while supporting each child's emotional, social, and cognitive development. 💲My professional rate is $32-55 an hour, depending on the number of children, their ages, and the responsibilities involved. I’m looking to provide care on Monday, Wednesdays, and Friday’s (with 35-42 hours required). If you're looking for a nanny who will genuinely invest in your children's growth, & happiness…

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! My name is Mary Brooke and I prefer to go by Brooke. I am 27 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 Baltimore and Harford. Living in Frederick County, I am no stranger to driving distances. 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 use to volunteer at Jug Bay Wetlands as a naturalist; leading school-aged children on educational adventures, Chesapeake Children's Museum And at the Baltimore Maryland Zoo as an animal contact aid for the public interactions with the animals.

Felisha interviewed for our nanny position in Feb 2014. She did a fantastic job. She was very articulate and engaging. Unfortunately, she had already accepted another position closer to her home by the time we offered her the job. She has babysat for us and was a temporary nanny for us for two weeks while she waited for her permanent job to start. Felisha is a very lively and fun young lady. She was great with the kids and my 90-year old mother. She has a great deal of initiative. She cleaned out the refrigerator, organized the girls’ rooms, and took my mother shopping, all without being asked. We strongly recommend her.

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 Barida, and I’m a 29-year-old Master’s graduate in Management Information Systems. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in French and Theatre Arts from Hood College. Over the past six years, I’ve had the joy of working as a nanny for six families, caring for children between the ages of 1 and 13. In my most recent role, I cared for a 2-year-old girl and her younger brother, engaging them in arts and crafts, storytime, and even introducing them to basic French. I’m deeply passionate about working with children — they remind me to appreciate the simple things in life. Growing up watching my mother care for children inspired my love for nurturing young minds. I enjoy encouraging creativity through reading, writing, spelling, and other meaningful learning activities, as well as helping with homework and supporting each child’s growth. Outside of childcare, I’m a creative at heart with interests in fashion, art, and interior design. In my free time, I enjoy decorating spaces, creating lifestyle content, working out, and experimenting with simple, healthy recipes.

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. I would consider one of my greatest strengths my sincere belief that playing is good for your brain and for your heart, and as long as we can work together there's nothing we can't do. If you have any interest in seeing if I'd be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!
