Find experienced babysitters in Gainesville, VA

I have worked in preschools and with individual families receiving cpr and first aid training and extensive knowledge in child development. In each setting I was able to develop long term relationships with families with children from ages 12wks to 12years. I am strongly focused on making sure children have the best early childhood experiences because these moments really do shape their lives. I have been called a chameleon many times because I am able to use what I have learned and apply it directly to a child's specific needs. It is very important to me that children feel loved, happy, safe and confident in themselves. Through lots of messy crafts, silly songs, fun games and reading your child will grow past your expectations.

I am a dedicated childcare professional with over 10 years of experience in early childhood education and caregiving. My background includes serving as a Lead Preschool Teacher in Thailand, working as an au pair for two years, and holding leadership roles within Montessori-based programs. I previously served as an Assistant Head of School, where I developed strong expertise in child development, curriculum planning, classroom management, and fostering independence through the Montessori philosophy. My experience spans both structured educational environments and in-home care, allowing me to provide a well-rounded, intentional approach to supporting young children. I prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment that encourages curiosity, confidence, and independence. I value clear communication with families and take pride in providing dependable, high-quality care tailored to each child’s individual needs.

I have been working with children for 25years. I currently work as a full time daycare teacher caring for elementary students. But available for weekend or weeknight babysitting opportunities. I’m CPR + First Aid certified and I’m Art Teacher. I have extensive experience with children of all ages. I’m patient and enjoy building connections with kids.

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!

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!

Hi! My name is Abbie H. I’m currently in nursing school locally and just about done with my degree! I have babysit, house/dog sit for about 7 years now so I have plenty of experience. I have a love and passion for children, which is why I hope to work as a pediatric nurse once I'm done with college. If you're in the need for some time to get things done or simply enjoy some time out, I'm happy to help! Just give me a call or shoot me a text and hopefully we can work something out.

I am a 35 years old and have Associates degree in early childhood education and majoring in Psychology at GMU. I've worked at least 11+ years as a caregiver in a variety of settings.  I consistently care for toddler nephews and other families occasionally. I have cared for multiple ages up to 12years old and worked as a long-term/short-term substitute teacher at Fairfax County Schools. I do not have any children or pets myself, but enjoy working with children and an animal lover.  Coming from a teacher's background with experience in the school workplace, I maintain strong caregiving rules as necessary. I have families that I have worked with more than 3 years or more until they don't need a sitter because they moved or kids have grown up. I lived in Northern VA, since I was young and is very familiar with the area. I would love to build long- term relationships with the family with trust. I can call myself as an honest, caring, responsible, innovative, flexible, and fun person :) Please don't hesitate to contact me! I am fluent in English and Korean.

I was raised by an amazing mother who is still caring for other people's children at the age of 68. So I tell people it's in my DNA to be a caregiver and protect.
