Saniyah J., Child Care in West River, MD 20778 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is saniyah and i am a sophomore 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.

Michaela joyce M., Child Care in West River, MD 20778 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Michaela-Joyce, and I’m a proud graduate of Howard University, where I studied Bioethics with minors in Chemistry and Political Science. Babysitting has always held a special place in my heart; it’s the one job that consistently brings joy to my day! With over seven years of experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to high schoolers, in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycares, and church nurseries. I also have four years of experience working with children on the autism spectrum, creating tailored activities to meet their unique needs. Currently, I work at a nonprofit helping kids with mental health and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the Prince George’s County School District. I’ve completed a background check and fingerprinting for the state of Maryland and DC as part of my job, so you can trust that I’m thoroughly vetted. I love sparking creativity through fun, innovative, and engaging activities, especially those centered around art or STEM, to keep their imagination alive. Safety is my top priority; I’m CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified and fully vaccinated, including boosters. With a flexible schedule, I’m excited to bring my nurturing, reliable care to your family. I can’t wait to connect and help create wonderful memories with your little ones!

Sydney B., Child Care in West River, MD 20778 with 6 years of paid experience

Dear Families, Hello! My name is Sydney, and I am a dedicated, caring, and experienced childcare provider with many years of experience working with children of all ages. I was a Girl Scout for 12 years and attended sleepaway camp each summer, where I developed strong leadership, responsibility, and teamwork skills. I participated in the Counselor in Training Program for two summers and later served as a Junior Counselor. In this role, I assisted the Unit Counselor with planning and implementing activities, led and supported campers in age-appropriate programs, and corresponded with campers to encourage their personal growth and confidence. In 2019, I worked at Clinton Gymnastics, where I assisted with program planning based on recreational themes, provided emotional support and encouragement to campers, and helped maintain a clean and organized environment. I also have extensive childcare experience through caring for my younger sister, who is now 10 years old. I have helped care for her since infancy, supporting her daily routines, learning, and social-emotional development. I am a graduate of Morgan State University, where I earned a degree in Biology. This background, along with my current role as a second-grade teacher, has strengthened my ability to support children’s academic growth, curiosity, and love of learning. In my teaching role, I design engaging lessons, manage classroom routines, provide individualized support, and build strong relationships with children and families. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I take safety very seriously. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide quality care for your children. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you! Sincerely, Sydney

Iyana D., Child Care in West River, MD 20778 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Claudia T., Child Care in West River, MD 20778 with 7 years of paid experience

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.
