Ms. Rhonda has been an incredible support to our family. Her help with overnight care allowed me to get the rest I needed so I could show up as the best mom possible for my child. She is caring, attentive, and truly thoughtful in the way she provides care. Knowing my baby was in such capable and compassionate hands gave me complete peace of mind. I am deeply grateful for her and highly recommend her.

Shanice D., Babysitter in Alexandria, VA 22304 with 10 years of paid experience

Greeting Families, I am passionate about children. I am caring, energetic, diligent, and a dedicated person. I graduated with an degree in Early Childhood Development. I have come to the realization that every child is created in their own unique way. I have experience of caring for children over night, and overnight infant nursing care. The ranges of children that I have cared for is from newborn to high school. I come from a large family, so I know what it means to multitask and get the job done! I also have reliable transportation, and do not mind being around pets. Over the years, I have taught in a private school (kindergarten, first grade, second grade). I hope to provide you and your family care soon!

Shanice was a wonderful, calm presence with my 3-month old baby, both for daytime babysitting sessions and in getting him off to bed. She was very professional and organized: arriving early, communicating clearly and often, providing us with a log of everything he did when she left (tummy time, nap time, ounces fed, etc.). She's given me great peace of mind and my little guy is looking forward to seeing her next time!

Clifford did a wonderful job with my infant son. My mom, who is a retired nurse, was around to observe and said he did the best job out of multiple sitters we have had. Punctual, responsive, sweet and completely reliable.

Wendy A., Babysitter in Alexandria, VA 22304 with 4 years of paid experience

Why do you love being a sitter? I truly love being a sitter because I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. Being part of their daily development, helping them build confidence, and creating meaningful connections with families is incredibly rewarding to me. I love bringing patience, creativity, structure, and warmth into every child’s routine. What experience do you have? I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children through nanny positions, babysitting, and childcare programs. I currently work with families in the Arlington and Washington DC area, helping with daily routines, feeding schedules, naps, educational activities, bedtime routines, and emotional development. I also support families with light housekeeping, meal preparation, organization, and creating structured routines for children. What skills and training do you have? I am currently completing my CDA (Child Development Associate) certification and have training in child development, safety, healthy routines, and age-appropriate activities. I am experienced with infant care, sleep routines, potty training support, Montessori-inspired activities, positive guidance, and developmental play. I am also part of the temporary division of White House Nannies, which has strengthened my professional childcare experience and family support skills.

Our wonderful Wendy worked with our family as a part time nanny, but in truth she became so much more than that. She was a vital part of our daily lives. She was truly exceptional in every way, going above and beyond in everything she did. Her main responsibility was picking up our children from school and getting them to their activities, and we always had COMPLETE peace of mind knowing they were with her. She is an incredibly responsible and attentive driver, but more importantly, she always made our children’s safety and comfort her top priority. Beyond being remarkably reliable and organized, what makes Wendy truly special is the warmth and light she brings into a home. She had a natural gift for connecting with our children, balancing a fun with the structure and consistency they needed and was always interested in keeping us on the loop with new ways on how to improve our routines. We are deeply grateful for the care and heart she put into her time with us. We would love to have her back at any point in the future, in fact, she is the very first person we would call if our family grows or if our needs change. We recommend our dear Wendy with all our heart, any family would be INCREDIBLY lucky to have her ❤️

We had Ayling come watch our two boys (1 and 7). She brought over an activity bag and was fun and engaging. Her communication with us was excellent the whole time and we had a wonderful evening out without having to worry. Would highly recommend!

Andrea R., Babysitter in Alexandria, VA 22304 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.

I am a mother of two teenage boys, so have been parenting for about 15 years. Prior to becoming a mother, I was a nanny for many years while in college and graduate school and a babysitter while in middle and high school. I have CPR and 1St Aid Certifications and am highly experienced with dealing with any issues that may arise while caring for infants, young children, tweens and teens. I love supporting kids to play and learn from experiences (games, crafts, sports) but am also ready to support homework and school assignments. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and happy to feed them or take them for walks. I take family rules seriously and will work with the children to make sure that tasks and chores are completed when required.

My kids loved Jennifer and ask for her to come back often! She not only was wonderful with the children, playing games througout the day, taking them on field trips and reading them stories. She also organized the kids bedroom without being asked! If I could give 10 stars I would!
