Hello, my name is Dami. I am a 24 years old college student who is also a mom to a 2year old boy. I am the oldest of four, having two sisters close in age, and the youngest being my 6year old brother. I have always taken care of kids, whether my little siblings, Sunday school kids in church, church summer programs kids, and now my son.

Emily
A bit about me: I am a 26 year old mom of 3 (2 bonus babies that are 8 & 11, and my bio baby who is 3) and I’m childcare provider and early childhood educator of over 7 years. I currently work as a Special Education self containment teacher for Baltimore City Public Schools. Prior to my time in formal classroom settings, I was a nanny for 2 families doing a nanny share with 4 kids. The girls were 18 months when I began and both moms in the families had babies during my time, so by the end of my time with them they were about 3 and 9 months. My day to day with them included meal preparation and serving, changing diapers, taking them to play in nearby parks and on walks, providing educational and developmentally appropriate activities and crafts, as well as helping assist in potty training and general social and emotional development. I am in the process of trying to leave the public school system, as I find myself wanting to be able to show up more presently in my home life as well as develop my personal passions in my spare time. I currently have to work multiple jobs to support my family and would love to return to a job that not only is fulfilling for my passion as a childcare provider while allowing me time and energy to develop my own family and hobbies. I’d love to set up a time to do an interview! Let me know if you’d be interested.

Parris
Hi! My name is Parris, I’m 19 years old, and I truly love working with kids. Being a sitter isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely enjoy because I love creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where children can feel comfortable and happy. I have a strong background in childcare from both personal and professional experience. I worked as a party host at a laser tag center, where I was responsible for managing groups of kids, keeping them engaged, and making sure everyone had a great time. I’m also the go-to babysitter in my family, trusted by relatives to care for their children regularly. Growing up with 8 siblings has given me a lot of hands-on experience with kids of all ages, and it’s taught me patience, responsibility, and how to handle different personalities with ease. I’m reliable, attentive, and great at keeping kids entertained while also making sure they’re safe and well cared for. Whether it’s helping with routines, playing games, or just being someone they can trust, I always bring a positive and nurturing energy. I look forward to meeting your family and providing care you can feel confident about! 😊
