Iyana D., Nanny in Shady Side, MD 20764 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Iyana 😊 I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University with over 5 years of experience caring for children ages 4 months to 12 years. I’ve worked with infants through elementary-aged kids and also spent a year and a half teaching 8th grade, including supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I really enjoy babysitting because every child is different, and I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. I’m comfortable with transportation, sleep training/bedtime routines, and I’m very pet-friendly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games, karaoke, going on walks or hikes, and cooking together. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment for both kids and parents.

Maria  A., Nanny in Shady Side, MD 20764 with 6 years of paid experience

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. Whether it’s playtime, helping with homework, or simply being a comforting presence, I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your kids. 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)

Maria was wonderful with my daughter. My daughter is normally pretty shy when meeting someone new, but she warmed up to Maria very quickly, which immediately made me feel comfortable. Maria was personable, engaging, and took the time to learn what my daughter enjoys — arts and crafts, gymnastics, and KATSEYE — and used those interests to genuinely connect with her. They even made origami together! My daughter had a great time, and I really appreciated how naturally Maria connected with her. I would absolutely hire Maria again and highly recommend her to other families!

Audrey took great care of our 8-year-boy for a long day of sitting on a recent weekend. She took him to a test, got him lunch, watched kid movies with him, taught him to play UNO and generally kept him entertained. She is professional and showed up on time. She even stayed over when we were stuck in traffic and got home later than planned. When we will definitely call Audrey again when we need childcare. Feel free to contact me with questions.

Hi everyone, my name is Laura, but you can call me Lau. I'm from Colombia so my native language is Spanish and have been caring for children for three years. I genuinely love working with children. I enjoy having different experiences with them and learning about them. I consider myself creative, patient, passionate, funny, and lovely. I’ve worked with children ranging from 1.5 to 16 years old. I used to drive them to various activities, such as gyms, parks, and malls.

Claudia T., Nanny in Shady Side, MD 20764 with 7 years of paid experience

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.
