A little bit about me

Hi my name is Kendal! I am 19! I’ve been doing childcare my whole life! I love growing personal connections and relationships with not only the child I look after but the parents of the child. I enjoy spending time outside and have a very big creative side when it comes to children! Getting to know the family I work with is very important to me. I use the gentle parenting technique when looking after any child. Although if there are times that I have to step up and give a bit of tough love I can do so. I rather the child be comfortable with falling apart in my arms and trusting they are safe so they can get past whatever fear or problem they are facing, rather then setting up a wall between the two of us and giving no source of security for them. I am not yet CPR or First Aid certified but I would be more than willing to take the classes before we move on to becoming a team! I’m excited to hear from you!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve had experience working with children since I was about 10 years old. Starting in my church nursery and going with my sisters to help babysit their clients. As I got older I started babysitting on my own. That started at about 13. I would sit for families that were a part of my church or friends of friends. If anyone needed help with childcare I was the first person they would refer/call! At 17 I worked for a short time at a daycare and absolutely loved the job! Unfortunately I moved states so that ended faster than I had hoped. I am not yet CPR nor First Aid certified but I am more than willing to go take classes if that is what is required of me! I personally learned how to do CPR and First Aid by watching others and at times just being put on the spot without warning. Your child’s safety is all I am worried about when they are in my care. I am always prepared for the best and worst situations.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am absolutely obsessed with the park and anything nature! Screens? Don’t know them! Crafts are also a knack I enjoy with children. The best times in my childhood was when someone would take time out of their day to sit and teach me how to make a paper airplane or simply just how to draw a stick figure! I apply my wants and needs as a child to the child I am caring for!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Connection with the children I work with. If we don’t have a special relationship I tend to believe I am doing something wrong and will try everything I can to build that special connection so they know that they are safe in any environment they are in with me.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I was working in the daycare I worked a Teachers Assistant. The Teacher had to step out for a few minutes and the kids ran to me asking if I would help them make cards for the teacher before she got back. On a time crunch we all decided to take part in just one card and one by one I helped each child write their name. When the teacher came back they said I had a special surprise for the teacher. Watching their faces when she opened the card was priceless. I will never forget the excited faces they all had when she was shocked they had finished all their names before she had even gotten back to the classroom. One memory I will never forget.

Babysitter Available in Hanover, MD: Bridgette D.

Hi! I'm Bridgette! I have over 7 years of experience as a nanny, working with children from 3 months to 14 years old, and I really enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids.

I'm also a stay at home mom to a 7 month old , so I'm currently looking for a position with a family who would be comfortable with me bringing my baby along. I'm very mindful of making sure your child receives plenty of attention, care, and structure, and I've found it can be a really positive and social environment for little ones.

I'm hands on with routines, feeding, naps, playtime, and age appropriate outings if that is something the family would be interested in!
I'm also reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you always feel at ease.

I'd love to learn more about your family and see if we might be a good fit

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Hanover, MD: Emily V.

Hello!

I have worked as an elementary teacher for 4 years. I worked as a nanny for a nanny share between my B.A in Child Psychology and going back for an M.Ed in Elementary Education. The nanny share included 2 3-month olds when I started. I worked with these families for one year and loved my time nannying! I nannied for all for summers during my undergrad and also did part-time nanny jobs during the school years. I’ve worked with children from 2 months to 17 years old, kids with a variety of disabilities, twins, and multiple families. I enjoy getting to know each child and learning what works best for them to build trusting relationships. I work closely with families to keep consistency for the children.

I am looking for a temporary (3-6 month) contract, with the ability to extend to 12 months if it is the right fit.
