Juliana N., Babysitter in Locust Grove, VA 22508 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Annette M., Babysitter in Locust Grove, VA 22508 with 7 years of paid experience

 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.

Brandie B., Babysitter in Locust Grove, VA 22508 with 6 years of paid experience

Hey everyone!! I am going into my first year as a bsp special education teacher, but have around a little over two years of experience in special education, with most of my experience being in self-contained autism. I have also had experience in an md room where I assisted with tube feedings, toileting and functional needs grades k-5, and a little bit of everything in between. I recently graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Developmental Psychology, and have years of experience in childcare outside of special education as well. While I will be teacher full time, I will have availability for all ages and needs during out of school breaks and possibly even date nights. Contact me with any questions or concerns and I’ll be happy to respond as soon as I can☺️

Brandie was on time, patient, and super playful with our daughter. We trusted her with bathtime and getting her ready for bed, and she handled everything smoothly. Would definitely recommend!

Sarina C., Babysitter in Locust Grove, VA 22508 with 2 years of paid experience

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!

Stephanie M., Babysitter in Locust Grove, VA 22508 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello! Hello! I’m the mom of a 7-year-old daughter and have nearly 20 years of experience working with children from birth through age 14 as a nanny, substitute teacher, preschool teacher, and pediatric care attendant. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and am currently a first-year nursing student. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting, back-up care, date nights, and can provide overnight care on select weekends. Because I’m in nursing school, my availability may change from semester to semester, however, I’m flexible and can often accommodate additional hours when needed. I am CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience with pediatric trach and G-tube care and supporting non-verbal or limited-verbal children. I love planning fun, engaging activities like art, science projects, sensory play, reading, and nature walks. Pets, including cats, friendly dogs, reptiles, etc. are all fine with me. I also have experience working through Consumer Direct Care Network (CDCN) for families using consumer-directed care services. Please feel free to reach out with questions!

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!

Lilyth R., Babysitter in Locust Grove, VA 22508 with 5 years of paid experience

I enjoy being a caregiver because I love teaching children new skills, supporting their development, and helping create a positive, memorable childhood experience. I have provided long‑term care for my younger sister from infancy through early childhood, gaining hands‑on experience with daily routines and age‑appropriate needs. I maintain a clean, safe environment, prepare meals for multiple children or adults, calmly manage tantrums, and confidently handle essential tasks such as diaper changes and bathing toddlers.

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.
