Dawn arrived warm, prepared, and genuinely engaged with our whole family from the moment she walked in. Our little one has always been slow to warm up to new people — new faces almost always mean immediate tears. But within minutes of meeting Dawn, our baby was completely calm and already reaching out to her. It was remarkable to witness. Beyond that natural gift with children, Dawn is thoroughly professional. She is punctual, reliable, and communicative, and she stayed consistent with our routines without ever needing a reminder. She treated our child with exceptional care.

Rebecca N., Babysitter in Hanover, VA 23069 with 10 years of paid experience

I am a seasoned, experienced and reliable mom of 3. Two are thriving young adults & my youngest is a rising 9th grader this year. I have had many sittercity clients for occasional day-to-day needs as well as clients who use me for on-going weekly, reoccurring needs. I have excellent references from sittercity & neighbors in my Hanover community. I recently just ended a 4 yr nanny position with a wonderful family of 2 boys. They are now in kindergarten & preschool. I have a letter of reference from this position to show if requested. I have a clear background check & clear driving record. I have been fully vaccinated for 2025 as well. If you want someone reliable and experienced, please feel free to message me. *pickup/drop off from school *have my own car seats if needed *cook/prepare foods *infant care *homework help *mom’s helper *light housework

Rebecca is fantastic. She instantly bonded with our daughter and went above and beyond to support her speech and physical therapies, got her to eat food she wouldn’t eat for us and even proactively helped keep the house clean. Despite being an experienced mom of three, she never assumed she knew better than us and asked lots of questions to help support and reinforce our parenting methods. If our daughter weren’t starting school full-time, we’d definitely still love to have her around!

Sarah H., Babysitter in Hanover, VA 23069 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Sarah, a professional nanny with over 14 years of experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood. I specialize in infant and toddler care and am passionate about creating structured, nurturing environments where children feel safe, empowered, and truly loved. I’m Pediatric and Adult CPR/First Aid certified and have a background in Health Sciences, which I bring into every aspect of my care! In addition to working with private families, I’ve taught gymnastics to children ages 6 months to 12 years and volunteered at UVA Children’s Hospital in both the NICU and PICU. I also completed a pediatric physical therapy internship, where I worked directly with infants and young children to support developmentally appropriate care. I love planning creative, engaging activities that promote development: things like sensory play, baby sign language, outdoor adventures, storytime, obstacle courses, and crafts. I also enjoy making everyday routines feel fun and meaningful through songs, imaginative play, and connection-based guidance!

Sarah has been nannying for our son for a year, from infant to now toddler, and she’s been wonderful! She cares for his daily needs, engages in playtime and regular outside time, prepares his meals, and also goes above and beyond to use her training and education to work with him on developmental skills. She has been communicative and also super flexible when we need to change the schedule or ask her to care for our older child as well. We will miss her greatly when our guy starts preschool!

Shanell S., Babysitter in Hanover, VA 23069 with 2 years of paid experience

I am a senior at Randolph-Macon College majoring in accounting. I come from a big, extended family, so caring for children is something I’m very comfortable with. While I have had experience in caring for some of the children in my family in the past, my first (non-family related) paid babysitting was in 2019, and half of 2021 up to 2022 (partial)--2 years total. I like to think of myself as caring and patient, which is why I connect with children so easily. Babysitting has always been fun and never felt like a job! Note: I am first aid & CPR certified

Jennifer K., Babysitter in Hanover, VA 23069 with 13 years of paid experience

I graduated from VCU with a degree in special education and psychology, and immediately after that became a nanny for several years for various children with special needs. First I worked with a child with severe Autism and auto-immune issues, and after his family moved, I began caring for twins, one of which had Cerebral Palsy and required help with all aspects of daily life. After about a year with the twins, I moved to Japan, where I taught English for 3 years with ages ranging from 6 months to 18 years of age. My biggest joy was working as a kindergarten teacher with 4 year olds.
