Saniyah J.
- 2 years paid experience
- 14 miles

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.

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 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!

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.

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 previously taught 8th grade for a year and a half, working with students who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism.

Faith E.
- 10 years paid experience
- 11 miles

Hello! My name is Faith and would love to serve you and your child(s) needs. I am a recent MD resident from Minnesota who came to the DMV to complete my medical school journey! While in MN, I worked at New Horizon daycare as a teacher's aide caring for children ages 7 months to 7 years. In addition to aiding in their academic growth, we aimed to foster a safe environment for social and emotional learning. My experience at the daycare taught me to be flexible and appreciate the unique approaches when connecting with children. Fast forward, to last year, I completed my pediatric rotation where I cared for children 0-18 years of age. I do have a vehicle that can be used for errands and child pickups. I have had many years assisting young children with homework and test prep starting with my own younger siblings to participating in an elementary program in college. If you see fit, I hope to hear from you and continue further conversations!
