Hello! My name is Rhonda, and I am a Virginia native with a genuine passion for caring for children and supporting families. As the oldest of six girls, nurturing others has always been a natural part of who I am. After transitioning from a career in finance, I followed my heart into childcare, and it has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. For more than 16 years, I have had the privilege of caring for children of all ages—from newborns and infants to school-aged children—including those with special needs. Throughout my career, I have worked with private families and nanny agencies as a Professional Nanny, Household Manager, ROTA Nanny, Night Nanny, and in the role of a Newborn Care Specialist, building lasting relationships founded on trust, reliability, discretion, flexibility, and compassionate care. What I value most about being a nanny is the opportunity to build meaningful, Read more lasting connections with the children and families I serve. Whether working in a traditional nanny role, providing overnight newborn care, or supporting families on a ROTA schedule, I strive to provide consistency, stability, and seamless care that allows children to thrive. While safety is always my highest priority, I believe children flourish when they feel loved, understood, encouraged, and supported. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, confident, and free to explore the world around them. My caregiving style is Montessori-inspired, encouraging independence, self-confidence, hands-on learning, and age-appropriate exploration. I enjoy creating engaging learning experiences through everyday activities while supporting each child’s natural curiosity, emotional well-being, and developmental milestones. Compassion and service have always been deeply rooted in my family. My parents dedicated more than 45 years to caregiving, teaching my siblings and me the importance of kindness, patience, integrity, and treating every person with dignity and respect. Those values continue to guide the care I provide every day. When I’m not caring for children, I enjoy spending quality time with my three granddaughters, reading, walking, dancing, volunteering in my community. A long-term position with a wonderful family where we can build a strong partnership based on trust, open communication, and mutual respect is my desire.

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.

Rhonda took care of our newborn until ~6 weeks as a night nanny. She was very punctual, flexible on shifting days as needed, and knew exactly what to do with our baby girl. She never once needed to wake me at night for any assistance and helped get our baby on a great sleep schedule. I would highly recommend her for future night nanny positions!
Rhonda N.'s reply
Thank you so much it was a pleasure assisting you all! It helped that was a great baby to begin with. You know you can always call should you need me again.

Rhonda N.'s reply
Invasive questions concerned my references and at least two of them contacted me with concern. This person also had and still has a complete copy of my enhanced sittercity background check. I also still possess her acknowledgement text of receiving my BGC. She also wanted to do a credit check on me.

I absolutely recommend Rhonda to all parents! She’s incredibly friendly, patient, and professional as a babysitter. When I had a last-minute request, she stepped right in with a smile. She was always on time and took wonderful care of my school-aged children. I can’t wait to book her again when I need her help!
Rhonda N.'s reply
Thank you. The kids made it so easy to navigate those days! I was amazed how independent & talented they are! A joy to have met you all! ❤️

During the in person interview, she did not mention any concerns about the enteral feeding pump nor that she was afraid of dogs. She was told the dogs would be outside or crated and that their care would be handled by a service. I was only informed of this information when I sent a text requesting information to set her up in a payroll system. She did offer to send the job to some of her colleagues.
Rhonda N.'s reply
This response is very unfortunate and left out of frustration. I responded with my concerns, via text to you, and that I would not be a proper fit for the job, and the home was beyond unsanitary. The job description stated no particulars with feeding tube and other necessities that can cause harm to the person of need if not administered properly.

Rhonda was a fantastic add to our family to help our little guy with overnight care and help us (the parents) get a little rest. She was a great asset and would recommend for anyone seeking a patient high-touch care provider.

I cannot say enough good things about our time working with Rhonda! She worked as a night nanny for our newborn son for about 6 weeks and did a phenomenal job. As first time parents, we were unsure about a lot of aspects to having a new baby, but Rhonda both reassured us & taught us how to care for him. On top of the job, she really made us feel part of a family. I highly recommend her for any of your care needs! She's flexible and understanding, truly a delight to have in our home - I'm excited to work with her again!
