I am 27 years old. I have worked with kids since a young age and have been a nanny professionally for the past 7+ years. I have cared for children from birth to 14 years of age (1 to 6 kids at a time). I used to help out in Kids Ministry at church as well with up to 8 kids in a class. I enjoy helping kids with brain development and reaching milestones through reading, music, and games. I help strengthen their fine and gross motor skills with appropriate activities. I make sure older children learn to do basic chores, learn to follow directions, and stay safe. I make healthy meals and snacks and can help with taking the kids to their appointments and run errands if needed. I have my Newborn Care Specialist and Doula certifications and currently working one my Early Childhood Education degree. I have reliable transportation and a good driving record.

Hello parents! I enjoy working with kids of all ages, and love watching them learn. I've been sitting for many families (50+) in the area for the last few years, and I also have a Masters of Education (Elem. Ed.) from George Mason. Over the past 14 years I’ve worked with children in a variety of roles, including: -- Occasional babysitting (2010-2024) - Ages 2-10 -- FCPS - Internship (3rd/5th grade) and sub teaching (2010-2013) -- Private tutoring Since I am a male sitter, I’d be a great fit for those with boys that like to build legos, conduct science experiments, and play outdoor games and sports! I also enjoy and have lots of experience babysitting younger children and toddlers, as young as 30 months. Note: I prefer to babysit for children between the ages of 2.5-10. Since I currently work full time, my schedule is limited to just occasional afternoons, evenings and weekends. I consider myself professional, caring, reliable, and fun! I have a variety of good references and all the sitter basics: [background check, transportation, non-smoking, references, etc.] Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for in a safe and positive environment. I’ve always valued building meaningful connections, and working with kids allows me to bring patience, creativity, and empathy into each day. I love creating calm, structured environments where kids can feel safe and have fun! I have professional experience supporting individuals with different needs through my work as a Direct Support Professional, which required a lot of patience, communication, and responsibility — skills that translate very well into childcare. Outside of that, I’ve helped care for younger relatives and family friends’ children, handling routines like meals, playtime, and bedtime. I’m comfortable creating engaging, age-appropriate activities and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. I’m trained in providing direct care and support, including de-escalation, active listening, maintaining safety, and medication administration . I’m also very organized and attentive, which helps with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. My experience as a DSP helped me build strong communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have my CPR and First Aid certification.

Hi! My name is Ana and I’m from Burke, Virginia. I am currently a student at Florida State University, home for summer break with a really flexible schedule! I absolutely love working with kids and I have been babysitting since I was 15! I have experience working with children of a wide variety of ages. In high school, I worked as an assistant teacher at a pre-school, assisting in classrooms primarily with ages 2-5. I have also volunteered at Fort Belvoir Elementary School for the past four summers with their summer camp program, during which I got to work with kids from kindergarten up to fifth grade! I will be home from mid May through Mid August and am available on short notice. I also have a car and am able to do any transportation needed. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

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!
