Babies and pets are my two favorites. Being around children brings me absolute joy and seeing them grow is gratifying. My experience with babysitting has been rewarding and has added immense value and growth in my life.

We love working with Vanya! She has been helping us out for several months with our two girls (ages 1 and 3). Vanya is reliable and our girls love spending time with her. She's always on time and a great communicator. Vanya is super easy to work with and is very patient with our girls.

I enjoy being with children, they are my little friends. I love reading, coloring, singing, dancing, listening music and getting the fresh air with them outside. We can be silly and loud and we can be quite and listen the wind.

I like to have fun with children!  Their amazing energy needs to be harnessed in productive ways.  I have the ability to gather bored children and creat a fun craft or game that makes everyone interested.  I have a warm and playful personality making children feel comfortable and safe immediately after meeting me.  I genuinely love children!i

We've worked with Miriam for the past 6 years. We hired "Mimi" part-time back in 2010 and she has been caring for both our sons since they were newborns. She is truly extraordinary: respectful, responsible, loving, structured and professional. She has rarely called in sick and is always on time if not early. She will play on the floor with the boys, take them to the park, to the library, brings over art materials for crafts, reads to them, does homework with my oldest, she loves teaching them sports and music... and we're all very grateful and lucky to have her in our lives. I've had other moms approach me to tell me how great she is with my boys in my absence, and there's just no better feeling than being able to leave the house on my way to work knowing the kids are in great and loving hands. She's also our #1 babysitter and I can leave the house not even having to tell her any instructions because I know she knows exactly how to care for my kids. We have asked her to speak only Spanish to our children, but she speaks excellent English and has cared for all different family types and cultures. She has her own new car and no dependents, so she literally dedicates her life to her childcare kids and families, and she has become part of ours! I can honestly say that she has taught me how to be a better, more patient parent.

Emy K., Babysitter in Arcola, VA 20148 with 17 years of paid experience

I am looking for a family with active kids, full of energy, and that is ready to have a great time! Parents that wish their kids could be more active and outdoors are also welcome. :) (I also enjoy indoor activities, though!) I believe as much as kids can stay outside, playing, and distracted, the better, so they don't get bored or start missing their parents. I love to be out with kids, playground, pool, playing sports, riding a bike, chalking, playing tag, hide and seek, and enjoying the nice weather - if possible! Ps: If your kids like to learn new things, and some Portuguese (I'm from Brazil), I will be more than happy to teach them!

Susan has been seeing our boys since late 2022. She started with our first born and then was introduced to our second born (as he arrived after she met the first). The first loved her immensely. The second grew rapidly fond of her. When we tell them that "Miss Susan" is coming to visit for babysitting, they explode in joy. Once, I had to work from home and could witness her work. Both boys really wanted her attention and they can be intense. She was good at diffusing crises and fights over time with her. They played for hours without any of the boys screaming or arguing. They listen to her so well and she is kind with them (without letting them push her over). She is someone we trust immensely with our kids. And they trust her -- for us, this was pretty much the thing that sealed the deal. A person worth hiring.

Margaret M., Babysitter in Arcola, VA 20148 with 15 years of paid experience

As a former stay-at-home mom of 3 adult children, 2 sons and 1 daughter, I have had on-the-job training with all age groups from newborns to college graduates! My children attended an independent, private school where I was an active volunteer throughout and a substitute teacher in the lower and middle schools for 7 years. People who know me consider me to be a warm, loving, honest, trustworthy and responsible individual. I am a mature woman who is college educated, health conscious, physically fit, neat and clean and a non-smoker. I have recent full-time newborn care experience and hope to be placed as a Nanny, for your little one(s), in your child-proofed home. As they grow, I will give them lots of TLC and interact with them in age appropriate activities. I also know how to cook, clean, do laundry and iron - and I am good! - so I can help you with all of that, as well!! Further, I’m Red Cross Certified in Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED. I look forward to hearing from you real soon! NOTE: My home-base is Conneaut Lake, PA.
