Find experienced child care providers in Woodstock, MD

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.

Hi there! I have 25 years of experience as a babysitter, and have worked in day care centers, as well. I'm CPR/First Aid certified. I work full time during the week (at night). I'm available to babysit on Saturday and Sunday evenings*, and I can stay as late as 3:00 a.m. I am sometimes available on short notice, although it's more likely I'll be available to babysit if I'm asked in advance. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! *Time of day can be flexible to a degree, but evenings are when I'm most often available. 😊

Hello! I’m Amarachi A. I’m a graduate social work student. I’m a fun-loving babysitter and I simply enjoy creating enriching experiences for kids. I run a summer camp in Baltimore so I have experience with up to 20 children at a time. I have been a private nanny for years as well so I have experience with all ages, from birth to age 16, as well as experience with dietary restrictions and medical complexities.

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. 💕
