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!

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 love being a sitter because it allows me to make a positive impact on families by providing safe, engaging, and nurturing care for children. I have experience as a sitter for multiple families, caring for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. Additionally, my role as a Taekwondo instructor has strengthened my skills in communication, patience, and behavior management with children of various ages. I am certified in CPR and basic first aid, ensuring I can respond to emergencies effectively. My background in customer service as a bubble tea barista has further developed my multitasking, problem-solving, and communication skills, all of which are essential in childcare settings.

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 have worked with children ranging from all kinds of ages, specifically ages from 14 months to 12 years.

I’m the proud mother of 3 girls who are now 21 twins and 17. I am interested in working with younger children again. My twins have cerebral palsy so I became a very involved stay at home mom. I loved teaching and playing with my children as they grew up.

eview We are incredibly grateful to have found Claire to care for our baby daughter. From the very first day, she has been amazing. Her warmth, patience, and genuine love for children are evident in every interaction. Not to mention how trustworthy she is. Our daughter absolutely adores her. Claire also engages her with fun, educational activities that keep her both entertained and learning. She’s also very flexible and communicates wonderfully with us.

Please note that due to working full time I’m generally only available during some evenings and weekends. I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I have numerous years of experience caring for all types of children in both child care facilities as well as babysitting. I love working on art projects with kids or playing board games. If your household has pets, we will get along famously.

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!

My name is Andrea Brown. I love working with children, I have been in the field for over 20 years now. I began my career in teaching while working with infants and toddlers for over ten years. I enjoyed being able to nurture them while going through each milestone with them from sitting up, to crawling, walking, climbing potty training, to learning first words and so much more. After many years with infant and toddlers I decided to expand my experience and teach 3-5 year olds. Im currently teaching at a private school working with preschoolers. I’m looking for part time jobs that I can enjoy and make a difference in while continuing to teach during the day. I currently have my CPR and First Aid certificate, and I’m available after 3pm daily. I’m well experienced but also always willing and open to learn new things because all children and families are different. I’m patient, caring, energetic, fun, and enjoy getting to know children and their interests. I strive to work as a partner with families, and build strong positive connections and relationships, and I’m a great communicator, understanding, flexible and reliable. Please contact me if you are interested in connecting. I would love to support your family and get to know your child.

Potential Families: Thank you so much for stopping by my profile. My name is Elizabeth. I just completed my ninth year as a paraprofessional in an elementary school and am currently a substitute teacher with the nearby county. I have experience supporting students/children with a variety of special needs (Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Learning/Multiple Disabilities and Behavioral). I am also a former preschool teacher; I have worked with children infant-12 years of age for many years and have been a tutor for at risk adolescents at Job Corps. I currently have my Associate of Arts Degree in General Studies with a career studies cert in Early Childhood Development. I am upon completion of my Bachelor’s degree and have a goal of pursuing my Master’s degree soon after. I enjoy making connections with children and families. I believe communication, trust and honesty are very important. When I am taking care of children I enjoy interacting with them by coloring, reading, arts and crafts, playing sports or board games but in all honesty, I am not a skillful Uno player! :) In my spare time I enjoy cooking, baking, traveling, spending time with my 3 nieces and nephew, working in the yard and reading. If you would like more information, or have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I am available: M, T and Th: 7:30-12:30, and then again from 2:30-6:30. W and F-7:30-4:30 I would also be available for occasional date nights (weekday evenings and or weekends).

Elizabeth does a wonderful job with our daughters. One of them is special needs and Elizabeth was willing to learn how to feed her through a feeding tube. I'm usually a little nervous leaving her with a sitter, but not when Elizabeth was in charge. I felt she was trust worthy and caring and taking amazing care of my kids.
