Andy M., Babysitter in Herndon, VA 20171 with 12 years of paid experience

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!

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.

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!

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!

Amy G., Babysitter in Herndon, VA 20171 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Amy! I'm very passionate about working with young children (0-5)! I enjoy engaging children in developmentally appropriate activities and taking them outside to play! Arts and crafts and sensory bins are fun to do on rainy days, or not so rainy days too! I really enjoy getting to know each of the children I work with and like to come up with activities to do with them based upon their interests. I have my bachelors degree in child and family development, a graduate level certificate called the EC-SEBRIS (early childhood socio-emotional behavior regulation intervention specialist certificate), as well as my masters in child development all from San Diego State University. I have worked with children of all ages ranging from infants and on up to thirteen year olds (with most of my experience working with infants and toddlers). I have interned in elementary schools, San Diego State University Children's Center, and head start programs before. I taught at a preschool as a toddler teacher for a year and a half. I have nannied and babysat for numerous families over the years including families with twins, multiples, and have done nanny shares before as well. Therefore, I am very comfortable working with multiple young children at a time. I am a Newborn Care Specialist trained through the Newborn Care Training Academy (NCTA) and am also a Postpartum & Infant Care Doula trained through ProDoula. I am also a pre-certified Infant Feeding Specialist (currently working on becoming certified). I do have references available upon request. Let me know if you have any questions about me, as I would love to meet up with your family and see if we are a good match!

Amy is such a caring, compassionate person. She truly believes in child development and in the basics of reading and playing. She took care of our five month old son and he fell in love with her. I would recommend her to all my friends.

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.

Andrea R., Babysitter in Herndon, VA 20171 with 23 years of paid experience

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.
