We have been working with Sue as our go-to babysitter for our 3-year-old son frequently for several years now. Sue has been a fantastic caregiver and is always so sweet, gentle, and kind. Our son sometimes has some separation anxiety when my wife and I leave, and Sue is always so wonderful about helping calm him down and reassure him. He always talks about how much fun they had while we're away, and Sue has even brought new books and toys to show him when she comes to brighten his day. Sue has a true gift for caring for little ones, and we could not recommend her more highly!

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 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!

We were SO lucky to have Susy as our son’s caregiver! From the moment we met her we knew she was going to be a perfect fit for our family and the best caregiver to our 5-month old son. Susy is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to caregiving of all ages of children. For example, we worked together to develop a daily schedule and routine for our son, and she was able to get him to actually become a good sleeper, which is huge! As he grew older, she worked to adjust his schedule accordingly, which was so helpful to have as a first time mom. If he ever got sick, she knew what symptoms to look out for and how to properly treat him. Basically, from the start she was able to read him and know what his needs were. Again, as first time parents that gave us such a sense of relief, knowing he was in the best hands! She is incredibly polite, professional, compassionate and kind. She is also so friendly and easy to get along with and adapts well to change, which is appreciated. I work from home most of the week and she was always considerate of my time and respectful of my space; I never felt disturbed or distracted during my work day. During her time with us, Susy’s daily tasks included feeding milk/food, diaper changing, cleaning bottles/dishes/pump parts and washing, folding and putting away laundry and changing crib sheets. She also took our son on daily long stroller walks and in general made sure to give him plenty of outside time, as weather permitted. She played with him (I always loved hearing his big belly laughs!), read books, sang to him, listened to music and engaged in age appropriate learning and sensory activities with him. She spoke in both English as well as Spanish, and he even learned some basic Spanish words! She taught our little boy so much, and he always had so much fun with her every day! All in all, we could not have been happier with Susy! We would have kept her on with us but wanted our son to eventually start going to daycare. Susy knew this from the start and worked to get him ready for that environment; she even got him synced up with his future daycare’s schedule in order to make his transition as smooth as possible (and it did!). Anyone would be so incredibly lucky to have Susy as their child’s caregiver. We are so grateful for EVERYTHING she did for our son and for our family, and we truly consider her a friend. We cannot sing her praises enough!

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.

Hello! I am a Registered Nurse with more than six years of Pediatric Nursing experience, 7 years of home-based newborn care and nanny experience, and one year of teaching experience with children ages 2-12. **Availability Update: I am current available for evening babysitting and overnight newborn care. As a baby nurse and nanny, I am focused, thoughtful, intuitive, and empathetic. My standard is the highest English Nanny standard of care - I want to be "the next best thing to a Norland Nanny." In the early months, I focus on helping the baby to establish good eating and sleeping habits. I use a gentle baby-centered approach for both of these important patterns. I am happy to begin working with your family as a Baby Nurse and then transition to a Nanny role as your baby gets older! As a babysitter, I am focused, attentive, and fun! 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. For short term babysitting jobs, I am seeking positions with a minimum of 4 hours per shift. For long term positions I am looking for full time only with a minimum of 45 hours per week. 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
