My name is Yasmin. Responsibility and kindness are my most defining qualities. I come from a large family and helped raise many of my nieces and nephews from their birth. I can understand, with you as the parent, the need to feel safe and secure with your children's baby sitter. So you can thoroughly enjoy your night out. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, even if that means having to clean a dirty diaper or two. When I'm together with your children, firstly, I will follow your instructions to the letter and, if I have any questions, we will use our pre-arranged contact plan. I am happy to keep your children's playtime active; toys, coloring, games, story-telling, television (if they are allowed to watch), listening to music, and, most importantly, letting them guide our activities. Seeing a child go to bed with a smile on their face really warms my heart. I have knowledge about development milestones. Also, I am available to give Spanish lessons in person or virtual. Thank you for considering me as your next babysitter.

Personally I am a very friendly person and a college student. Currently enrolling to become a nurse I like to take care of people and mostly kids being a older sister I have the patience and understand single moms and married couples with needing help for their loved ones. I will do the work of babysitting just because its something I like to do. I understand the economy is down and most families will not be able to pay high but I will be negotiable and understand. I would like to help for weekend babsitting and help families out.

My name is Lam, and I have 4 years of experience caring for toddlers and preschoolers. Currently, I’m working part-time with a toddler—helping with diaper and clothing changes, prepping breakfast and lunch, school drop-off, and picking up for after-school activities like library visits and playground time. Employment History: • 2012–2013: Full-time nanny for a family with a 2- and a 4-year-old. • Summer 2012: Teaching assistant for JHU-CTY summer school in Chestertown, MD. • August 2011 – June 2012: Nanny for an 8-month-old baby boy in Canton. • Summer 2006: Helped my brother care for his three children (an infant, a toddler, and a preschooler). I also provided childcare during Sunday services at the First Presbyterian Church. Education: I earned my Master’s degree in Science.

References from my current employer are available upon request. About Me: I love my job and always try my best to connect with children through fun and educational activities—such as critical thinking games and craft projects. Discipline Philosophy: I follow a gentle and respectful approach, using three steps: 1. Kind words 2. Quiet time-outs to help the child calm down 3. Encouraging the use of manners (excuse me, sorry, please, thank you, and you’re welcome) My goal is to support children in developing strong, independent, and kind personalities, helping them understand what they want and how to go after it.

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training • Master’s Degree in Elementary Education • Certified Lifeguard (past) • CPR & First Aid knowledge • Strong classroom management and communication skills • Experience with children from infants to pre-teens I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

I’ll take the night shift while you get some sleep! Hi! I'm a TV News Producer and mom to two princess-loving toddlers. I stepped away from the TV industry last year to focus on raising my girls (and finally ditch that Manhattan commute)! I am a Newborn and Infant Care Specialist providing overnight newborn, infant, and baby care for families like yours. I have 22 years of childcare experience, so I'm excited to use my expertise to make your evenings as restful and relaxing as possible. I’m a mom, so I know how important it is to find the right person you can trust and rely on to care for your children. I take that responsibility seriously and will always make thoughtful, smart, and quick decisions to ensure your little ones are safe, happy, and thriving. I am also an extension of you — my caregiving style mirrors the way you choose to raise your baby, and I am here for support and to provide a helping hand… the kind every mama needs from time to time. A little about me: I grew up in Fair Lawn and now live in Hawthorne with my husband and daughters, where we love being a part of the Hawthorne community. My nurturing nature and desire to help other families has carried with me through more than two decades of working with children, even while managing a full time professional career. Running a newsroom and managing Monster Mini Golf for years also helped my organizational and management skills shine — and I can plan a birthday party or major event in my sleep! I have certifications in newborn and infant care, a car with two infant car seats installed just in case, and all background checks are completed and clean. Background checks are renewed every 90 days, so I’m happy to provide you a copy instantly, along with wonderful references and my professional résumé, upon request. I’ve also made my Instagram (@carasayssmile) public, so please feel free to get a glimpse into my life beyond this profile!

Hi and welcome!! My name is Mia and I am graduate of American University with a BS in Public Health. I not only love, but have ample experience in working with children from various age groups. Most of my experience lies with toddlers as a nanny for high profile clientele, and during my time at Woodlin Child Development Center as a child care aide. Additionally, I've also tutored elementary/middle school age children as a fellow with Teach for America for several years. I am also comfortable with driving, with pets and food and tailored lesson plan preparation if need be. For a long time, I have wanted to pursue pediatrics so I have a great interest and passion for working with children and truly love every experience I get when it comes to educating and spending time with young ones. As for my availability at the moment, I am currently very flexible as I prepare to return to school. Please do reach out if you feel we are a fit! My best contact email is afomiafelleke@gmail.com or text/call at 301-793-7133.

I am the eldest sister and female cousin. I would babysit for my family while our parents were working or doing recreational purposes. I am a high school graduate and currently a junior in college. I’m really good with pets and have a lot of patience. I have no problem doing some light cleaning and playing with kids as well as helping them with their homework. I am a very attentive person so no kids will ever be left unattended. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish. I’ve also worked in day cares so I have a lot of experience with new borns, toddlers and kids.
