Ms. Sandra is an amazing caregiver who keeps my little one engaged all day! She reads, sings, teaches and so much more. Because of her, my two year old knows his letters, colors and numbers! Also, she is always punctual. We are grateful to have met her!

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)

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.

Hi! My name is Michaela-Joyce, and I’m a proud graduate of Howard University, where I studied Bioethics with minors in Chemistry and Political Science. Babysitting has always held a special place in my heart; it’s the one job that consistently brings joy to my day! With over seven years of experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to high schoolers, in a variety of settings, including private homes, daycares, and church nurseries. I also have four years of experience working with children on the autism spectrum, creating tailored activities to meet their unique needs. Currently, I work at a nonprofit helping kids with mental health and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the Prince George’s County School District. I’ve completed a background check and fingerprinting for the state of Maryland and DC as part of my job, so you can trust that I’m thoroughly vetted. I love sparking creativity through fun, innovative, and engaging activities, especially those centered around art or STEM, to keep their imagination alive. Safety is my top priority; I’m CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified and fully vaccinated, including boosters. With a flexible schedule, I’m excited to bring my nurturing, reliable care to your family. I can’t wait to connect and help create wonderful memories with your little ones!

Dear Families, Hello! My name is Sydney, and I am a dedicated, caring, and experienced childcare provider with many years of experience working with children of all ages. I was a Girl Scout for 12 years and attended sleepaway camp each summer, where I developed strong leadership, responsibility, and teamwork skills. I participated in the Counselor in Training Program for two summers and later served as a Junior Counselor. In this role, I assisted the Unit Counselor with planning and implementing activities, led and supported campers in age-appropriate programs, and corresponded with campers to encourage their personal growth and confidence. In 2019, I worked at Clinton Gymnastics, where I assisted with program planning based on recreational themes, provided emotional support and encouragement to campers, and helped maintain a clean and organized environment. I also have extensive childcare experience through caring for my younger sister, who is now 10 years old. I have helped care for her since infancy, supporting her daily routines, learning, and social-emotional development. I am a graduate of Morgan State University, where I earned a degree in Biology. This background, along with my current role as a second-grade teacher, has strengthened my ability to support children’s academic growth, curiosity, and love of learning. In my teaching role, I design engaging lessons, manage classroom routines, provide individualized support, and build strong relationships with children and families. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I take safety very seriously. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide quality care for your children. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you! Sincerely, Sydney

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.
