Jalisa J., Nanny in Potomac, MD 20854 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Jalisa , and I’ve been working with children for over 10 years. My background is in child development, and I’m passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and loving environment. I have been home based part- time and full time for some time. So my home is set and ready to assist with all children’s needs as well as toys and crafts for all developing age groups. So whether it’s your home or mine I’m prepared for all settings. As a mom of two, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones. I treat every child as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and consistency. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m also comfortable and experienced working with children who have disabilities, providing individualized care and support to meet their unique needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I enjoy planning creative activities, outdoor play, reading time, and hands-on learning experiences that make each day special. If you’re looking for a dependable, nurturing, and experienced nanny to care for your children, I’d love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs!

I have worked in a childcare center and public & charter schools in the Washington, DC metro area. I promote a safe and healthy learning environment. I have an ample amount of experience with children ages 3 months to 14 years olds. Children love me because I understand them, but I also am firm when the situation arises. My skills and abilities come naturally and I am confident that parents wouldn't mind leaving their child(ren) in my care. I love to cook, engage in creative projects, read stories, and enjoy outdoor activities.

Clifford did a wonderful job with my infant son. My mom, who is a retired nurse, was around to observe and said he did the best job out of multiple sitters we have had. Punctual, responsive, sweet and completely reliable.

Rachel was excellent with our 8-month old daughter. We contacted her last-minute after our Nanny had called out for the whole week with short notice, and Rachel was able to cover the whole week. Our daughter is going through a major stranger-danger phase, so there was a lot of crying in the beginning. Rachel was great at staying calm and gently forming a bond and trust with our baby. By the end of the week, our daughter was beaming every time Rachel walked in the door. We definitely hope to use her services again in the future!

Sherry M., Nanny in Potomac, MD 20854 with 30 years of paid experience

Hi Moms and Dads thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Sherry living in Gaithersburg Md. I have worked as a babysitter /nanny for over 40yrs. I worked for family's all over Montgomery County . I have work with preemies, new-born, toddlers and school age children. I have had experience with down syndrome children and one that requires a feeding tube. As a nanny I want your child/children to know that I am there to keep them safe and give love while their parents work. I will protect them as if they are my own. I read, sing song, go out, do craft and get down on the floor, and play. I enjoy going to story time and other activities. Sorry, I don't do public pools. I have travel with my family's to other states. I even travel to Spain with one of my family and stayed for 2months. I also do short term jobs and long term. My last family I was with for 3 years. I try to to support my family's as much as I can, whether it's a emergency or something else. I like to build a bond with the kids that I take care of so they feel safe and love at all times. Yes this is a job but how can you spend time with beautiful kids and not love on them. I do have my own car seats less then 2yrs old and kept clean. They are Graco.

We have been extremely happy with Sherry, and highly recommend her. She works with our family on a regular basis and cares for our three young children. She is consistently reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. Sherry is warm and attentive with the kids, engages them in age-appropriate activities, and creates a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. She communicates clearly, follows instructions well, and shows good judgment and initiative when caring for multiple young children. Our kids are happy and comfortable with her, which gives us great peace of mind. She has become a trusted and valued part of our routine, and we would confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dependable and thoughtful caregiver.

Sonja was a nanny for our son from 12 - 26 months. Sonja is truly an amazing nanny, and an amazing person. She has the sunniest, happiest, most joyful disposition I have seen in a person. In more than a year that she has worked at our house, I have never seen her in a bad mood. She is extremely creative, and comes up with the greatest ideas for kids' playtime. Sonja came up with fantastic crafts projects for our older son. She is a fabulous cook. Even though I did not ask her to clean, she would frequently vacuum the house because she likes everything to be neat and tidy. The kids adored her, and still do. Her generosity knows no bounds. With all this, she is also very professional and punctual. We were extremely happy, and fortunate, to have her with us.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Carisa as our nanny. She started with our family when our baby girl was just four months old, and from the very beginning she made such a positive difference in our lives. Carisa is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also a genuinely caring and wonderful person. She supported our daughter through so many important developmental milestones like helping with the transition to purees, encouraging tummy time, practicing sitting, and planning age-appropriate activities that supported her development. It was clear that she truly understood infant development and always approached everything with patience and care. Our baby absolutely loves Carisa, and it’s easy to see why. She brings warmth, attentiveness, and a calm presence every day. As a new mom, it meant everything to be able to return to work knowing my baby girl was in such loving and capable hands. Carisa was always punctual, extremely reliable, and consistently flexible. Always willing to stay late or come in early whenever we needed help. That level of dependability made a huge difference for our family. I wholeheartedly recommend Carisa to any family, especially new parents who are looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. She truly is the best person you could have caring for your baby.

Maria has been our children's nanny for 4.5 years and has been an incredible addition to our family. We have appreciated the nurturing guidance she has offered to our children and the genuine, heartfelt, warm, and affectionate care she provides every day. She will be dearly missed. We strongly recommend Maria for a nanny position and would be happy to provide a reference on her behalf if you have any questions.

Carmen C., Nanny in Potomac, MD 20854 with 10 years of paid experience

I am a senior at American University majoring in Data Science with a minor in Computer Science. I am currently based in Bethesda, finishing my last semester at AU this fall, and I am looking for part-time babysitting or nannying work. I have 10 years of babysitting experience. I have babysat for over 20 families in Nashville, New York City, and Washington, DC. I have babysat for single families with 2-3 children aged between 3 months to 9 years old, and I have done formal, weekly childcare for churches where I supervised groups of kids aged 1-year-old to 12 years. Typically, my tasks included picking up and dropping off from school and after-school activities, aiding the elementary school-aged children with homework, entertaining the kids, changing diapers, cooking nourishing meals, and encouraging good behaviors using positive reinforcement. In single-family settings, I can also provide light housekeeping work such as cleaning and doing laundry. Outside of school and babysitting, I love reading, spending time with my puppy Mila, and writing songs. I have self-released two albums and have toured nationally with several bands. I am able to provide guitar and bass lessons for beginner to intermediate players. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you, and I am happy to provide references from my previous clients.
