Ireland is a wonderful caregiver. She has been our babysitter for almost a year and we couldn't be happier with her. She's communicative, respectful, nurturing and genuinely adores our daughter. She's become a close friend of the family and we're not sure what we'd do without her!

She is amazing! I’m a first time mom and a single parent. My son is my absolute world so I was incredibly nervous to leave him with anyone. Bessi went above and beyond to make sure I was updated on how he was doing. Every picture she sent made me smile ear to ear during my work training. Finding someone you not only like but trust to watch your baby is incredibly difficult. So when you do, it’s an amazing feeling. I highly recommend her. My baby is 2 months old and he was very well taken care of. She has a wonderful set up for older children to play and learn as well. I definitely intend to continue working with her!

If you are looking for an extremely caring, thoughtful, responsible, dependable, and experienced child care provider look no further! Claire is simply amazing. She worked for us every evening for a month as a “Mother’s Helper” when my husband was out of town and she was a total God-send. She actively sought out anything she could do around the house with child-related needs or household-related tasks and I almost never needed to ask her to do something I needed— she just knew what needed to be done and did it. She was great with the kids and put up with 30-40 mins of an extremely fussy infant nightly while I put my older toddler to bed without getting irritated or frustrated at all. She was always on time and I never had to worry about whether or not she was going to show up. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is and happily give her my highest recommendation. Hire her and you will have peace of mind with her caring for your kids and you’ll always feel comfortable and confident that she is providing the absolutely best care possible while you’re away!

Taryn R., Nanny in Knoxville, MD 21758 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi, I am Taryn! I have been babysitting since 2015, making a living solely from childcare for 5 years. In 2020, I nannied for a 9yo and 5yo for a few months. After that, I nannied for 3 children for 2 years. Following that experience, I took a job as a behavioral technician,. I then worked with a family of 8, primarily focusing on the youngest 2 for 8 months. In that role, I was able to travel with the family. I have cared for up to 4 children, ranging from 4 months to 14 years old. I like to engage the children in whatever interests them, but I also try to incorporate new activities and get outside. I am physically active and able to keep up with high energy children, but I also enjoy reading, painting, and crafting. As a behavioral technician, I have learned how to teach new skills and appropriately respond to tantrums and aggression. I try to encourage children to understand their emotions and learn independence skills in a way that’s fun for them! I am looking for a part time or babysitting work, while I’m in school for biology. I have a degree in psychology and will be looking into neuroscience for my masters degree. I can work with all ages. I have a car. I’m comfortable with doing housework, meal prepping, running errands, toilet training, facilitating nap or bed time, overseeing playdates, and any other reasonable requests relating to childcare. Safety is very important to me. I no longer hold my CPR certification, but I would be willing to get the certification upon request. I value clear communication with parents to ensure everyone’s expectations are being met. I always give a quick debrief of the day, as it’s been ingrained in me through my work as a behavioral technician. So looking forward to getting to know your little tikes!

Jennifer is an awesome sitter and person in general. I was in a pinch and needed someone to babysit my son part time for a while. I initially worried as my son was 5 months at the time and didn't take to new people well. That wasn't the case here. He clicked with Jennifer immediately and she was great with him. Jennifer was also amazing at adapting to our hectic schedules, was so punctual we actually adjusted a clock to her arrival time because we knew it must be wrong, and was able to smoothly watch my older child when sickness took him out of school. It was also an additional plus that Jennifer spoke Spanish as if we had worked with her longer my son would have picked it up as well. We really enjoyed working with Jennifer and would trust her to babysit the kids again, anytime.

Akirah J., Nanny in Knoxville, MD 21758 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi my name Akirah, I grew up in Frederick, MD and had an affinity for children at a early age. I loved babysitting my family and friends kids, anytime i can. I always invented creative and fun games, and I find that children have always connected to my personality and my exciting spirit. I love babysitting it is the most rewarding and fulfilling job out there. Children are a delightful gift: they bring so much joy to my heart and make every day so much better. I knew that working as a child care provider was right for me. I adore children of all ages, especially toddlers. I love playing dress-up, reading stories, arts and crafts, hide ‘n’ seek, or any games that encourage children to learn and grow and express themselves. I love what I do, and I love children. Babysitting is enriching and full of wonderful surprises. I have my CPR/AED/First- Aid(Infant,Child,Adult)

Akirah was a fantastic Nanny to us. She was very competent, calm and kind. She managed our kids and household very well. She left our employ only because we left the area.

Felisha interviewed for our nanny position in Feb 2014. She did a fantastic job. She was very articulate and engaging. Unfortunately, she had already accepted another position closer to her home by the time we offered her the job. She has babysat for us and was a temporary nanny for us for two weeks while she waited for her permanent job to start. Felisha is a very lively and fun young lady. She was great with the kids and my 90-year old mother. She has a great deal of initiative. She cleaned out the refrigerator, organized the girls’ rooms, and took my mother shopping, all without being asked. We strongly recommend her.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Bernadette care for our children from 2015 to 2021, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She became so much more than a nanny to our family. She was a trusted partner, a role model for our children, and an irreplaceable source of support for my husband and me. From the very beginning, she treated our children with genuine love, patience, and care. Every day she found creative, engaging, and fun activities that kept them learning, exploring, and excited. As they grew older and started school, she seamlessly transitioned into helping with homework, encouraging good habits, and supporting their education in such a positive and nurturing way. Beyond caring for the children, she always kept our home incredibly organized and tidy, which made our busy lives feel manageable and calm. She consistently went above and beyond in ways both big and small, often anticipating our family’s needs before we even had to ask. Most importantly, our children absolutely adore her. Even now, years later, they still talk about how amazing she was and continue to keep in touch with her. Which speaks volumes about the lasting impact she had on their lives. The love, guidance, and stability she provided during such important years of their childhood is something we will forever be grateful for. Any family would be beyond lucky to have her. She is dependable, thoughtful, hardworking, trustworthy, and truly exceptional at what she does. I can recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
