Rhonda N.
- 16 years paid experience
- 12 miles
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 id 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.

Ms. Candice is a sweetheart! She is responsive, understanding, punctual, and respectful of the home. She assisted my little one with her homework, played with her, straightened up the play area, and did the night time routine. I appreciate her and will continue using her as a sitter.

Anita was incredible and far exceeded our expectations. She had everything my wife and I were praying for in a nanny. She was caring, respectful, timely, kind, and more. Our son fell in love with her, as did we. Because of her, he developed a range of new skills, including new words. We recommend Anita to any family that needs a kind, genuine, punctual and respectful person caring for their little one.

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!

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!

Hello! My name is Cydnee, and I'm 20 years old. I'm currently a sophomore at Point Park University, where I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance with a concentration in Modern Dance. Dance has been a major part of my life for many years. Through my training, performances, choreography, and teaching experiences, I’ve developed strong leadership, communication, and mentoring skills. I love sharing my passion for dance with young people and helping them build confidence, discipline, and self-expression through movement. For the past several years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with children through both childcare and dance education. I volunteered at my local dance center for two years, helping young dancers begin their dance journeys while creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. Working with children is something I genuinely enjoy, and I find it incredibly rewarding to support their growth both inside and outside the studio. With over two years of childcare experience, I have cared for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. My experience includes feeding, diaper changes, bedtime routines, homework assistance, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I also enjoy organizing creative activities, crafts, games, and movement-based activities that keep children active and engaged. I pride myself on being dependable, responsible, patient, and punctual. Families can count on me to provide attentive care while serving as a positive role model for their children. My background in dance has taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, teamwork, and creating meaningful connections with others. Outside of childcare, I enjoy dancing, choreographing, creating music, journaling, and spending time with family and friends. I am dedicated to continuing my growth as both an artist and a mentor. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide caring, reliable support for your children. I’m excited to bring my positive energy, creativity, and dedication into your home! For babysitting, nanny, or dance instruction services, please feel free to contact me at (202) 840-3276. I have a copy of my completed background check available upon request.
