Amber S., Babysitter in Bristow, VA 20136 with 5 years of paid experience

I have several years of experience as a child care worker, where I developed a strong ability to create a nurturing and safe environment for children. My training includes certifications in CPR and First Aid, which ensure that I can respond effectively in emergencies. I also completed a child development course, giving me insights into age-appropriate activities that promote learning and growth as a college student majoring in Elementary Education. I have worked with children from ages newborn to 12 years old. My past experiences have equipped me with the skills to manage various situations, from daily routines to special occasions, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for the children I care for.

Amber was very punctual, which was important to us with our early morning schedules. She was gentle with the kids and a great communicator.

Claire M., Babysitter in Bristow, VA 20136 with 2 years of paid experience

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.

Marah B., Babysitter in Bristow, VA 20136 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!

Rhonda N., Babysitter in Bristow, VA 20136 with 16 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Rhonda, and I am a Virginia native with a genuine passion for caring for children and supporting families. As the oldest of six girls, nurturing others has always been a natural part of who I am. After transitioning from a career in finance, I followed my heart into childcare, and it has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. For more than 16 years, I have had the privilege of caring for children of all ages—from newborns and infants to school-aged children—including those with special needs. Throughout my career, I have worked with private families and nanny agencies as a Professional Nanny, Household Manager, ROTA Nanny, Night Nanny, and in the role of a Newborn Care Specialist, building lasting relationships founded on trust, reliability, discretion, flexibility, and compassionate care. What I value most about being a nanny is the opportunity to build meaningful, lasting connections with the children and families I serve. Whether working in a traditional nanny role, providing overnight newborn care, or supporting families on a ROTA schedule, I strive to provide consistency, stability, and seamless care that allows children to thrive. While safety is always my highest priority, I believe children flourish when they feel loved, understood, encouraged, and supported. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, confident, and free to explore the world around them. My caregiving style is Montessori-inspired, encouraging independence, self-confidence, hands-on learning, and age-appropriate exploration. I enjoy creating engaging learning experiences through everyday activities while supporting each child’s natural curiosity, emotional well-being, and developmental milestones. Compassion and service have always been deeply rooted in my family. My parents dedicated more than 45 years to caregiving, teaching my siblings and me the importance of kindness, patience, integrity, and treating every person with dignity and respect. Those values continue to guide the care I provide every day. When I’m not caring for children, I enjoy spending quality time with my three granddaughters, reading, walking, dancing, volunteering in my community. A long-term position with a wonderful family where we can build a strong partnership based on trust, open communication, and mutual respect is my desire.

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.

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!

Pim is a young professional babysitter. She worked with us as a part time nanny for almost a year. Our children love her! Pim treats our kids like her own siblings. They always ask when is Pim Coming? and always get excited when Pim comes. She's a wonderful babysitter. Very polite, sweet and smart. We are moving out of town and we wish we could take her with us. She's the best! I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for everything Pim! We will miss you

Emy K., Babysitter in Bristow, VA 20136 with 17 years of paid experience

I am looking for a family with active kids, full of energy, and that is ready to have a great time! Parents that wish their kids could be more active and outdoors are also welcome. :) (I also enjoy indoor activities, though!) I believe as much as kids can stay outside, playing, and distracted, the better, so they don't get bored or start missing their parents. I love to be out with kids, playground, pool, playing sports, riding a bike, chalking, playing tag, hide and seek, and enjoying the nice weather - if possible! Ps: If your kids like to learn new things, and some Portuguese (I'm from Brazil), I will be more than happy to teach them!
