Hi! My name is Juliana. I am a passionate and nurturing babysitter. I am currently in Fairfax and a full-time student at George Mason University, where I balance my studies with my genuine love for working with children and supporting families. I am PCA-certified (Personal Care Aide), which allows me to safely provide attentive care for children who may need additional medical or personal support. I have experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and primary school-aged children, and I take pride in creating a warm, positive environment where kids feel safe, confident, and free to be themselves. As a reliable live-out nanny, I offer flexible, part-time services tailored to your family’s unique schedule and needs. My hourly rate starts at $20, depending on the child’s age, hours, and level of care required. Whether it’s engaging playtime, story time, or homework help, I strive to make every moment both fun and meaningful. I believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and encouragement, and I’m committed to making sure your little ones feel happy, supported, and well cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter who will treat your child with genuine care and attention, I would love to connect and see how I can support your family.

I have been working with infants and children for the last 10 years and I also have three children of my own. I have my Associate's degree in Psychology and I am continuing my education in hopes to become an Adolescent Clinical Therapist. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I love working with kids on a personal level by learning their personality. I use a hands-on approach to gain the trust of both parent and child. Providing childcare isn't just a job, it's accepting to play a large role in a child's life and help guide them as they grow and develop. I love fun and smiles but I also like to promote educational activities appropriate to the child's age (for example going over the alphabet or doing puzzles with a toddler, or practicing tummy time with an infant!) I strive to become not only their babysitter, but one of their best friends. I have a genuine love and passion for kids and I have realized this is my life's calling. I think that providing childcare would be the best job for me while I am continuing my education because it's doing what I love, working in the direction I plan to go with my career and also allows me to keep my son with me while I work, which gives him the opportunity to interact with other children. I have excellent writing and verbal skills, my specialty is drawing and arts & crafts, skilled hider, below average seeker, animal lover, excellent board game player, excellent story time reader and swing pusher, great at cuddling and I know the tickle monster very well, excellent boo-boo kisser, and I may not be the best singer or dancer but that doesn't stop me from putting on a show. I don't mind embarrassing myself for a laugh (well for the kids at least)! It's so easy to make them smile and I absolutely love doing it.

Hi, I’m Sarina. I’m a Marine Corps veteran and Psychology student with several years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers. Over the past two years, I’ve worked long-term with two families, primarily caring for children between 6 months and 3 years old. My current position is ending due to the family relocating, and I will be available beginning March 2. I’m confident with infant and toddler routines, including sleep schedules, meal prep, developmental play, outdoor time, and maintaining calm, structured days that help little ones thrive. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment. Families describe me as reliable, communicative, and proactive. I take pride in supporting not only the children, but the overall flow of the household when needed. I’m seeking a position starting in early March and would love to connect to see if we’re a good fit.

Sarina nannied for us for just over one year. She took care of our now 1.5 year old daughter. Sarina took excellent care of our daughter and paid attention to her ever changing needs. She was super patient daily. Our daughter would get so happy and excited to see Sarina come through our door. Some days it was even hard for our daughter to say goodbye to her. I can’t say enough great things about Sarina. She just fit right in to our life, was always flexible with our schedule and listened to all of our needs. Your kids will be more than happy and well cared for with her!

Ms. Amy is an absolutely amazing caregiver! She has been caring for our three wild tornberries (ages 3, 5, and 8) for the past year, and we couldn’t be happier with her. She is always punctual, attentive, patient, kind, and friendly. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our scheduling needs. Most importantly, when my kids are with Ms. Amy, I have complete peace of mind knowing they are safe, well cared for, and receiving the attention they need. My kids genuinely enjoy being with her, and it’s such a comfort to know they are in such attentive and caring hands. We are so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and kind caregiver!

Hi, I'm Grace. I just came home from serving 8 months as a missionary and am looking for a part-time job taking care of kiddos. I'm 20 years old and have had plenty of experience with childcare. I worked 3 years at After School Care for Holy Cross Academy and for 2 years at Fredericksburg Academy summer camps. I have babysat a wide age range of kids over the years (infant to middle school). I also occasionally look after my siblings and have helped them with their schooling at home. And I am currently pursuing a career in Montessori school teaching. I love taking care of children because I feel like they always give us a new perspective on the world around us, approaching it with such genuine awe. I love watching them learn and grow, seeing the light bulbs go off within their minds at discovering something new. I also enjoy seeing their talents and giving them a space to pursue them. I personally love art, music, baking, and exploring the outdoors, so I appreciate the ability to share that with the children I care for.

She was amazing with my kids who are usually very clingy! My big girls were so engaged playing and dancing, and my youngest who usually doesn’t go to other people didn’t want her to leave!

I love planning fun, engaging activities like art, science projects, sensory play, reading, and nature walks. I'm comfortable around all kinds of (friendly) pets.

We are a military family and with constant moving is hard to find reliable help. Kaitlyn was great from day one. We have 4 kids and our kids love her. My toddler looks forward to her. She’s comfortable around children and has a charismatic personality. We highly recommend her. She’s been great to have.

I’m a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with a strong passion for working with infants. I focus on creating a safe, comforting environment where babies can grow, develop, and feel secure. Certified in First Aid and CPR, I prioritize their safety at all times. I also build strong relationships with both the infants and their families, offering individualized care that meets each child’s needs. My goal is to provide a calm and loving atmosphere where they feel supported and cherished. As my native language is Spanish, I can introduce babies to the language early on, which is a wonderful added benefit for families interested in bilingual exposure.

We cannot recommend Montse highly enough! From the very first time she cared for our children, we knew we had found someone truly special. She is not only incredibly clean and tidy but also has a natural warmth and kindness that immediately put both us and our children at ease. Her flexibility and excellent communication made any scheduling changes easy, and she always kept us informed about our kids’ activities and well-being. What truly sets her apart is her dedication to engaging and educating our children. She incorporated Montessori-style learning into their play, encouraging independence, curiosity, and creativity. Montse has the most patient, calm, and supportive demeanor. She treats our children as if they were her own. Knowing they are in her hands gives us complete peace of mind—we have never once worried about their safety or happiness when she is with them. Anyone looking for an exceptional babysitter would be truly missing out if they didn’t consider Montse. She is a rare gem, and we feel so fortunate to have had her in our children’s lives!

I am ambitious and creative but disciplined and hardworking. I absolutely love working with children and planning such fun activities while we wait for you to come home! One thing about me that sets me apart from others is that I will not just sit your child in front of the TV. Everyday will be fun filled and something to look forward too!
