Rachel was excellent with our 8-month old daughter. We contacted her last-minute after our Nanny had called out for the whole week with short notice, and Rachel was able to cover the whole week. Our daughter is going through a major stranger-danger phase, so there was a lot of crying in the beginning. Rachel was great at staying calm and gently forming a bond and trust with our baby. By the end of the week, our daughter was beaming every time Rachel walked in the door. We definitely hope to use her services again in the future!

Marah B., Babysitter in Herndon, VA 20171 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello Parents, I am a 35 years old and have been working with children since I was 14. I have experience as a nanny, house manager, personal assistant, babysitter, house sitter and pet sitter. I am the oldest of six children and have experience with special needs, food and drug allergies. I specialize in infants and toddlers and take a special interest in children with anxiety. I have worked for several families long term as well as on call, part time, and date nights. My favorite thing about watching children is watching them grow, learn and discover new and great things about the world around them. I believe that routine is very important when it comes to raising children and having a regular caregiver that knows them, their habits, their likes and dislikes makes a huge difference! I am comfortable with homework help, drop off and pick up, taking children to activities as well as inventing activities, potty training, feeding, cooking, cleaning, laundry and more. In addition to this I am also featured on the Sittercity activities blog! I very much look forward to hearing from you!

Montserrath is such a breath of fresh air. I wish we could have her as a full-time sitter, but unfortunately her availability doesn’t allow for that. She is a lovely, kind, and patient person, and an excellent sitter. You’ll be lucky to have her babysit for you. I will definitely hire her again. Thank you!

Hello parents!  I enjoy working with kids of all ages, and love watching them learn.  I've been sitting for many families (50+) in the area for the last few years, and I also have a Masters of Education (Elem. Ed.) from George Mason.  Over the past 14 years I’ve worked with children in a variety of roles, including:  -- Occasional babysitting (2010-2024) - Ages 2-10 -- FCPS - Internship (3rd/5th grade) and sub teaching (2010-2013) -- Private tutoring Since I am a male sitter, I’d be a great fit for those with boys that like to build legos, conduct science experiments, and play outdoor games and sports!  I also enjoy and have lots of experience babysitting younger children and toddlers, as young as 30 months. Note: I prefer to babysit for children between the ages of 2.5-10.    Since I currently work full time, my schedule is limited to just occasional afternoons, evenings and weekends. I consider myself professional, caring, reliable, and fun!  I have a variety of good references and all the sitter basics: [background check, transportation, non-smoking, references, etc.]    Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Andrew watched our 4-year-old and 18-month-old boys, and he was absolutely fantastic. He arrived prepared with crafts, toys, board games, and plenty of creative activities to keep them engaged and entertained. He has a calm, positive demeanor, and both of our boys connected with him right away. Andrew is incredibly patient, attentive, and reliable, and he followed all of our instructions carefully, especially when it came to their bedtime routine. We felt completely at ease knowing our children were in his care. We highly recommend Andrew and would gladly hire him again.

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 get down on the floor and play with babies and younger children. For older ones I love doing crafts and am happy to help with homework. Then once they are asleep I am happy to do their laundry or tackle a cleaning project! My qualifications include a current active RN license in Virginia, advanced Newborn Care Specialist training and newborn experience, excellent experience with infants and toddlers, CPR/First Aid certified, background check, updated immunizations, non-smoker, fluent in English and conversant in French. I love dogs but am allergic to cats. I have many excellent childcare references available upon request! Please also see my Nanny Profile, and let me know if you have questions! I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Allison
