Elsa J., Child Care in Sykesville, MD 21784 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Elsa and I'm a 25 year old Certified Nursing Assistant / Certified Patient Care Technician. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I grew up in a big family so my experience with babysitting began in my own home and with close family. Over the years I have worked with many families with all kinds of backgrounds. I have been a babysitter, dog walker, tutor and mother's helper. I have experience in working with children that range from a toddler to teenager. With that being said, I love being around kids, babies and pets! I have also been a camp counselor, and a Montessori school teacher's assistant in the past. I work at Johns Hopkins which consists of working in every unit in the hospital with the main ones being Pediatrics and Psych. I'm an energetic responsible individual who goes out my way to provide a fun, safe/clean, and stimulating environment for children. My outgoing personality and background with arts helps me connect with the imaginative and creative sides that all children have. I’m starting school again therefore I look forward to go back to being a babysitter/nanny again. I hope to speak soon :)!

Estefania  L., Child Care in Sykesville, MD 21784 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello Families! My name is Estefania Lucas, and I have had the privilege of working as a nanny for over 5 years. I am bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring a wealth of experience in caring for children of various ages and backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of working with several long-term families, providing high-quality care for children ranging from just 3 months old (including twins) up to 13 years old. I come from a large family, which has allowed me to develop a natural nurturing instinct and a genuine love for working with children. As a nanny, I take pride in creating fun, engaging, and enriching experiences for the children I care for. I am an outgoing and creative individual who enjoys outdoor activities such as walks, visits to the park, and exploring new places like museums, libraries, and beaches. I also love fostering creativity through hands-on activities like arts and crafts, painting and coloring, embracing the mess that often comes with creativity! If the parents are open to it, I also enjoy teaching children Spanish, helping them develop language skills in a fun and interactive way. My goal is to make your life easier by offering more than just childcare. In addition to caring for the children, I am more than happy to assist with household tasks, including: Washing and putting away dishes Preparing meals for the children Folding laundry Cleaning up after activities and playtime I am seeking a full-time, long-term position. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can support your family’s needs.

Olive Y., Child Care in Sykesville, MD 21784 with 19 years of paid experience

Hello! After 16 months caring for a wonderful baby girl who is now starting daycare, I am looking for a new full-time position with a loving family. I have a soft spot for babies and truly enjoy caring for them. I bring over 19 years of experience, and caring for children is more than a job for me — it’s something I do with my whole heart. I also help with light housekeeping and cooking to support the whole family. I am a fluent French speaker and speak limited English. However, many families have found this to be a positive — the little girl I’ve cared for recently now says several words in French! I don’t just meet a baby’s basic needs — I actively engage with them through creative play, singing, and activities that support early language development. I love singing to babies and watching how they light up with joy during interactive play. Helping little ones learn and grow through connection and care is something I truly enjoy. I’m reliable, nurturing, and ready to bring love and support to a new home. I’m happy to provide references from my current family. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more. 💕

We love Olive! It's quite obvious that her gift is taking care of babies. She cared for my six month old and he loved her soothing energy and playfulness. The one thing we loved about her was her attention on our baby. Some people just do the bare minimum to make sure the baby is fed, clean, etc, but Olive actually engages plays and sings to the baby constantly. It's so sweet. We 1000% recommend her.

Vivian C., Child Care in Sykesville, MD 21784 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi there!! My name is Vivian, and I absolutely love working with kids and can’t wait to meet your little ones! I have 9 years of babysitting experience caring for children ranging from infants to 10 years old. I’m reliable, patient, and passionate about creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or simply making sure your child feels happy and cared for, I always strive to provide the best care possible. I also have experience as a high school and elementary math and ELA tutor, so I’m more than happy to assist with schoolwork and learning activities. Safety is always my top priority, and I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families peace of mind while their children are in my care. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and cooking, which I often incorporate into babysitting to keep children engaged and having fun. I’m also comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and caring for pets if needed. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones!

“Bibian” as my 2 year old daughter calls her was awesome every time she sat with my kiddos. I cannot recommend this babysitter enough! From the very beginning, she was dependable, kind, patient, and incredibly attentive with my children. She created such a safe, fun, and comforting environment that my kids genuinely looked forward to spending time with her. She communicated well, showed up on time, and always went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. As a parent, having someone you can fully trust with your children brings so much peace of mind, and she absolutely provided that. My children adored her, and it was clear she truly cared about them and their well-being. Any family would be lucky to have her as their sitter. I’m beyond grateful for the care, support, and positive energy she brought into our home. Save some bookings for me ?

Greetings! I 'm a child lover whose two daughters are grown and am not yet a grandmother (hope springs eternal!). I spent 17 years in outside sales and eventually found there wasn't much need for a middle-aged pharmaceutical rep. I found a position as night nanny which turned into being a day nanny and never looked back. I find it greatly rewarding to being able to spend my time making children smile and teaching them the skills they'll need to be successful in life. In the process, I've met many, many wonderful parents who give me hope for the future. And of course, I have the gift of knowing that I enhanced lives for a time. I'm not a spring chicken, but as one of my employers put it when a co-worker posited to her "why did you hire someone older?" wisely responded "At least I know she won't be on the phone all day." The only texts that occur when I'm with your children are the ones the parent of the moment sends me. The children I care for know they are loved and cherished. I might be a little stricter than you, but I try to make children understand that, in the words of the old Ford TV ads, "Safety is job ONE." Children are smart and they get it! I'm active outdoors playing with your children, I can pitch a baseball pretty well (my hitting skills are better, if you're training a pitcher) and I love to kick the soccer ball around. One of my kids even told me I was a good tennis player (in all honesty, he hadn't played much tennis). I love to take your children to the playground, , park, library, pool, or wherever you like. The mother of my current family had planned on keeping me until Fall of 2j022. Unfortunately, her job has become increasingly difficult and she has decided to stay home for a spell with her very special 2-year old. I'm currently looking for a full-time or nearly full-time position. However, if your needs are for part-time, I am always interested in patching more than one job together if I find the right families . Please call any day/night before 10:00 p.m.

Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with our 4 year old! He immediately took to her and there were no tears when we left. She even brought over some fun stickers and crafts to play with. Cheryl is very thoughtful and communicative. We'd love to have her look after our little one again.

I have more than 11 years of experience babysitting my 6 grandchildren, older children, and even twins. I am well-versed in taking the next step by making this my new part-time career!

I assure you that you will NOT come home to a messy house. I enjoy getting creative with activities, whether it be crafting, playing games, taking fun walks, or a great game of hide & seek! I will always be very organized with tracking school homework & projects. I'm patient and kind and absolutely love building connections with young children as well as teens. I'm excited to combine my love for children & creativity with a part-time Babysitter role. My goal will be to make sure your children have a very safe and loving environment whenever I am with them. Let’s create wonderful childhood memories “together”. I’m looking forward to hearing from you! (I am available Monday – Friday 9 am – 4 pm and some weekends) KK
