Find experienced child care providers in West River, MD

Hi! I’m Iyana 😊 I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University with over 5 years of experience caring for children ages 4 months to 12 years. I’ve worked with infants through elementary-aged kids and also spent a year and a half teaching 8th grade, including supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I really enjoy babysitting because every child is different, and I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. I’m comfortable with transportation, sleep training/bedtime routines, and I’m very pet-friendly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games, karaoke, going on walks or hikes, and cooking together. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment for both kids and parents.

Hi there! I'm Maria, and I’d love to help care for your little ones!! With a heart full of patience and a genuine love for children, I bring over 5 years of experience to babysitting. Whether it’s playtime, helping with homework, or simply being a comforting presence, I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your kids. I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs and interests. I enjoy quality time with the kids so I’m always ready to get creative with a plan or game ideas (puzzles, pillow castles, arts and crafts, visits to a museum, home spa time, cook a recipe or big legos towers). My goal is to not just look after your kids, but to help them feel happy and secure while you’re away. If you're looking for a trusted, kind, and playful babysitter, I’d love the opportunity to meet and chat! (Quick note I’m Infant qualified, I have a CPR and First Aid certification)

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.

As a dedicated childcare professional with five years of experience in the field, I am passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. Currently pursuing my pre-nursing studies at Community College. My background includes comprehensive childcare experience, two years of babysitting and nanny work. I understand the critical importance of creating a supportive atmosphere where children can learn, play, and grow confidently. My approach to childcare centers on balancing structured activities with fun, interactive experiences that promote both safety and developmental growth. I am committed to maintaining a positive, stimulating environment where children feel secure, respected, and encouraged to explore their interests. Whether assisting with homework, organizing creative play, or ensuring basic safety protocols, I strive to be a reliable and trustworthy caregiver who supports both children and their families.

My experience is with my children. In Peru I was a kindergarten teacher for about five years. I am a responsible woman. I enjoy working with children. I like crafts, meal preparation/cooking, and reading books. I'd also don't have a problem with teaching the Spanish language. I also have almost 2 years of nanny experience. I worked as a lead teacher for a Spanish bilingual child care center. Currently, I am working with special education children in a public school. I am also open to working on Friday nights and any after school jobs.

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.
