Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Valeska, and caring for children has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I first came to the United States as an au pair many years ago, where I had the privilege of caring for children of all ages. Since then, I’ve become a mother myself, which has given me an even deeper understanding of what families need and what children need to thrive. I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your children. I strive to be that dependable, caring person who creates a safe, happy, and nurturing environment while keeping kids engaged, active, and having fun. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. Whether we’re going to the park, library, zoo, playground, pool, riding bikes, doing arts and crafts, reading books, playing games, or simply exploring their interests, I love encouraging curiosity, creativity, and confidence. I also believe in helping children develop independence through age-appropriate responsibilities, kindness, and respect. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help families with children’s meals, homework, transportation to activities, organizing playdates, light housekeeping related to the children, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. Communication with parents is very important to me, and I always want you to feel informed and confident that your children are in good hands. As a mom, I understand that every family is different. I take the time to learn each child’s personality, routines, and needs so they feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. My goal is not simply to supervise children, but to become a positive, reliable presence in their lives and a trusted support for their parents. If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, dependable, loving, and truly enjoys helping children grow, I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family. I look forward to hearing about your children and discussing how I can help make your family’s daily life a little easier. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to meet you soon!

Charlotte S.
Valeska is a great babysitter! She is very interactive with my child! Taking her on walks, playing with her and giving her lots of love! She really focuses on your little one, and never seems distracted. I trust her completely with my daughter!! Not only is she great with the baby, but she also helps me around the house. Making food, doing the dishes, and helping with a little office work. She truly is a dream to have! We love you, V!

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!

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.

Everyone has a gift; mine is working with children. It is a God-given gift. Children are drawn to me and I am drawn to them. I treat children as if they are my own--loving them, protecting them, teaching them old fashioned values like honesty, integrity, hard work, manners, thankfulness, giving, etc. I love children that I keep and they love me back. I have a lifetime of experience and excellent references. You and your children will not be disappointed with me. I am active, fun, play all sports, love games, baking, crafts, reading, using your imagination; whatever your child enjoys doing, I will too.

Kathy is an amazing person that I recommend highly. She is very warm and set my heart at ease the minute she walked in the door. She adhered to my homes rules and took care of my son as if it was her own. She brought a bit of whimsical magic into the house which I thought could only be found in a Disney film. Also she was on time and kept things in order. Glad to have found someone like her.

I have extensive experience with children, and am seeking a part-time nanny position, or babysit as needed. Newborn to teen. College graduate from GW and Virginia Tech. U.S. citizen. I'm known for my patient, calm, creative, and friendly approach. I'm fun and adapt to your child, in terms of what they want to engage in. I'm also a Mom, which provides you Added-Value. In an emergency, I can handle it - your child will be safe with me!! I'm very good at picking up on any telltale signs that a parent should be aware of. Teach kids manners. I don't spend time on cell/TV. Kids minimal time on electronics, as you like. Your kitchen will be cleaner than you left it. Wash clothes. I’ve been a nanny for four children, including twins whom I took care of from newborn to age 3. Excellent driver. Brand new car. I’m comfortable with pets. Completed CPR. Don’t smoke. I have a lot of experience with food allergies, especially about gluten intolerance. I worked as a Child Advocate for 10 years. I also co-founded two non-profit organizations for children and teens, a social club & a foundation; see fsyf.org I grew up in Europe, where my Dad worked at the US Embassies. I’m eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your child’s life.

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!
