Dominique B., Babysitter in Lanham, MD 20706 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Dominiqué. I am a graduate of Penn's Graduate School of Education, with a Master's degree in Early Elementary Education. I currently am an educator in the DMV so my schedule may be limited. I have all my clearances. I have been CPR trained. I worked in my mother's daycare from the age of 9 to the age of 22. I have worked as an instructor at a summer program and have nine years of formal teaching experience, so I am comfortable with larger groups of children and I am able to connect with each individual child. I am comfortable and experienced working with children of all ages but my preference is to work with children 16 and under.

Dominique was on time, reliable, and did an excellent job watching our two kids (including our very emotional 4-year-old) while we were at a nearby wedding. We would definitely work with her again if ever back in the area!

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.

Ms. Sheri is a Godsend. I hired her for a sitting job for a family BBQ. Not only did she and her daughter sit for the two children in attendance but also were a tremendous help with prepping for the party and assisted in the kitchen and grill during the party. I will hire her again without hesitation.

Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with our 4 year old! He immediately took to her and there were no tears when we left. She even brought over some fun stickers and crafts to play with. Cheryl is very thoughtful and communicative. We'd love to have her look after our little one again.

Amen M., Babysitter in Lanham, MD 20706 with 0 years of paid experience

I love baby sitting because I love kids. I honestly enjoy talking with them, making them laugh, and being a safe place for them. I discovered my love for working with kids in freshman year of high school when I volunteered for Vacation Bible School at my church. As a station leader I would work with 30 preschoolers and I would help them with activities, facilitate meals and snack time, and ensure that they stayed safe and got along with each other. This volunteering experience required me to work with kids with health conditions and mental disabilities. I have worked with kids with autism and I have also working with diabetic children. At my church, I also have been volunteering as a Sunday school teacher for 30+ kids. The job mostly requires me to keep the kids engaged and keep the class fun and safe.

Claudia T., Babysitter in Lanham, MD 20706 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.

Victoria H., Babysitter in Lanham, MD 20706 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi families! I’m Victoria, a BLS/CPR-certified nursing student currently earning my RN, with the goal of becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Nursing is my third degree—I also hold a B.S. in Biology and a Master’s in Public Health from Columbia University. I have 3 years of paid childcare experience and over 10 years of experience working with children in educational and community settings. My childcare experience includes working in a daycare, teaching 3rd-grade science, and tutoring children of different ages. I’ve always loved creating an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, educational games, science experiments, homework help, and finding creative, screen-free ways to have fun. While earning my master’s in New York City, I developed an even greater appreciation for child development and the importance of positive, supportive relationships during childhood. That experience helped inspire my decision to pursue pediatric nursing and dedicate my career to caring for children and families. As a sitter, I’m kind, patient, attentive, dependable, and safety-conscious. I’m comfortable balancing fun with routines and boundaries while making sure children feel heard, encouraged, and cared for. I’m also happy to provide tutoring or additional educational support when needed. I have reliable transportation and drive a newer Volvo XC40, which I chose with safety in mind. I also understand that every family’s schedule is different, so I offer flexible availability, including early mornings, daytime care, evenings, and late nights. Whether you need regular support, help around your work or school schedule, or a dependable sitter for date nights, I’d love to be someone your family can count on!
