Ash J., Babysitter in Centreville, VA 20120 with 2 years of paid experience

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.

Andy M., Babysitter in Centreville, VA 20120 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!

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.

Elizabeth H., Babysitter in Centreville, VA 20120 with 15 years of paid experience

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.

Rhonda N., Babysitter in Centreville, VA 20120 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.

Carisa watched our daughter Grace for close to 3 months and we are so grateful to have found her. She is a wonderful person with a lot of experience with all ages (infant-elementary), with a niche in newborn and infant care. We needed coverage for a temporary period that we were not able to provide care for Grace and had interviewed some people for this assignment - Carisa stood out as the most reliable and trustworthy of everyone we spoke with: she openly provided references, she was transparent throughout the whole interview process and was very flexible in meeting with us beforehand and getting to know Grace prior to officially starting with us. This was an early cue about her integrity and quality of character. Once she began, it was apparent she had a unique ability to hone her skillset to both Grace's needs and our wishes and goals for Grace's growth and care. When Carisa started with us, Grace was not really on a set schedule and we were only able to get Grace to successfully fall and stay asleep in her swing or in the bassinet in our bedroom. Within her first week of starting with Grace, Carisa was able to get her on a schedule and taking naps in devoted sleeping areas in our living room as well as Grace's nursery. We also struggled during Grace's first weeks of life to take a bottle smoothly (she had some latch issues and a possible small tongue tie) and were nervous about having someone else feed Grace, but Carisa was able to get Grace to have big feeds with a great latch on the bottle. This took a load of stress of our shoulders! But most importantly, we are grateful for the genuine love Carisa gave Grace, which showed in how quickly Grace took to Carisa. Towards the end of our time with Carisa we really started to feel like she was our family. We will miss Carisa dearly and hope we will be able to work with her again - she is a special one!

Marah B., Babysitter in Centreville, VA 20120 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!

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!
