Sarah was very nice and flexible. She watched my 4 month old and put her to sleep which isn’t always easy. I definitely recommend

Marah B., Babysitter in Gainesville, VA 20155 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!

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.

eview We are incredibly grateful to have found Claire to care for our baby daughter. From the very first day, she has been amazing. Her warmth, patience, and genuine love for children are evident in every interaction. Not to mention how trustworthy she is. Our daughter absolutely adores her. Claire also engages her with fun, educational activities that keep her both entertained and learning. She’s also very flexible and communicates wonderfully with us.

Abbie  H., Babysitter in Gainesville, VA 20155 with 12 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Abbie C. 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.

Abbie is awesome. She is an excellent date night sitter and was so helpful with my kids when I needed her to pick them up from daycare and help out until my husband and I were off work. She is super responsible and great with two kids (preschool aged and toddler). I feel so comfortable leaving the kids with her which is what we all want!

Selly N., Babysitter in Gainesville, VA 20155 with 11 years of paid experience

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.

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.

Our family has had a really great experience with Katreya thus far! She's been on time, communicative as well as kind and attentive with our child. It's been lovely to see her establish a connection so quickly with our VERY slow-to-warm-up toddler who loved to be on the move. I appreciate Katreya's initiative in engaging in meaningful interactions, reading, playing and age-appropriate activities. While it's still early, we greatly appreciate her warmth, professionalism and grace in her approach to nannying and we're looking forward to continuing to work with her!

With three years of childcare experience, I’ve cared for children from 10 months to 6 years old. As a part-time college student, I bring energy, patience, and empathy to every babysitting job. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and explore. Families can count on me to be responsible, reliable, and attentive, making sure every child feels happy and cared for.
