Mikal M., Nanny in Essex, MD 21221 with 6 years of paid experience

As a dedicated childcare provider, I am passionate about fostering bright futures and nurturing individuals of all backgrounds. With a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies, focusing on Human Ecology, and currently pursuing my Master’s in Human Ecology with a specialization in Child Development, I bring both educational knowledge and practical experience to my role as a nanny. I have over 5 years of experience working in various childcare settings, including schools and private homes, where I've developed a deep understanding of children's needs. My previous roles have included teaching 1st grade at Loftin Love Academy, where I created engaging lesson plans and fostered an inclusive atmosphere for all students. In addition to my teaching experience, I have provided childcare through Sittercity, managing schedules, planning activities, and supporting children with individualized education plans (IEPs). I also worked as a Mental Health Worker at Sheppard Pratt, helping vulnerable individuals thrive through encouragement and support. I hold certifications in CPR, AED, and First Aid, and I am committed to promoting safety and well-being in every interaction. I believe in creating fun, educational, and supportive environments for children, where they can learn, grow, and express themselves. I am excited to bring my skills and compassionate approach to families, ensuring a nurturing and enriching experience for children.

Karen C., Nanny in Essex, MD 21221 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Karen. I am a devoted and loving mom of two young adults. As a former foster parent for the state of Maryland, I have cared for children of all ages and am CPR certified and first aid trained through the Red Cross. I have experience caring for children who have autism, ADHD and other disabilities. In addition to raising my own children and fostering, I acquired childcare experience through babysitting for family, friends and neighbors, previously working at a daycare center, leading classroom lessons and activities at my church and also substitute teaching elementary age students. Watching children learn and grow through engaging interaction is fulfilling and enjoyable to me. I like to occupy children with craft activities, art projects, games and puzzles, outdoor play, cooking lessons...anything that limits screen time and encourages imagination and creativity. I believe that some down time is also important. For that purpose, book reading, puppet shows, cloud shape guessing and wildlife watching would be some of my possible choices. There's surely no lack of things I could come up with to keep children busy, but the number one reason to choose me to be your caregiver is this...I love kids! They make life fun! I really enjoy teaching them and then watching them progress through their many stages of childhood. You can expect that I will treat your child/children with respect and I will nurture and care for them as if they were my own.

Taya  H., Nanny in Essex, MD 21221 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello my name is Taya , I’m 24 years old and I’m interested in being your sitter. I have 9 years experience with babysitting and child care ,which I was an after school sitter for several different families, for children from pre-school through the 7th grade. I have about 4 years experience working with children who have autism and/or a special disability. I babysit ages anywhere from infant to 13 years old. i have exactly 5 years experience with newborns-3 year olds. I absolutely love being around children and they LOVE being around me. They just bring absolute joy to my heart. I absolutely LOVE the outdoors. I am CPR certified ,I know basic Sign language and basic Spanish, I also have my own car and a clean driving record. I am very caring ,loving, trustworthy, patient and outgoing and love doing different activities that children will find entertaining and enjoy doing. Babysitting/nannying is something I love doing because everyday is something different and it’s absolutely amazing to be apart of a child’s learning and seeing them grow as a person. Families would describe me as someone with a pure heart & genuine intentions. Someone who is trustworthy & reliable & someone is is always in a positive mood. I became a caregiver because I love love love children. I absolutely adore them , they fill a special place in my heart and I love it. The love I have for children is out of this world and I’m more than happy that I make a HUGE POSITIVE impact on these children's lives. It means a lot to me !
