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!

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!

I am a mother of two teenage boys, so have been parenting for about 15 years. Prior to becoming a mother, I was a nanny for many years while in college and graduate school and a babysitter while in middle and high school. I have CPR and 1St Aid Certifications and am highly experienced with dealing with any issues that may arise while caring for infants, young children, tweens and teens. I love supporting kids to play and learn from experiences (games, crafts, sports) but am also ready to support homework and school assignments. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and happy to feed them or take them for walks. I take family rules seriously and will work with the children to make sure that tasks and chores are completed when required.

I love working with children because they make every day special and full of learning. I have two years of experience working with kids starting at three years old, helping them learn, play, and grow. I also worked for two years as a teaching assistant with children ages 8 to 12 at a church. I studied Early Childhood Education I at Arlington Career Center, where I completed internships with preschoolers and elementary students, and now I’m taking Early Childhood Education II while continuing my internships at the same school. This year, I’m also doing internships at Long Branch Elementary School, where I help teachers and work with students in different grade levels. I have CPR certification and First Aid knowledge, and I always make sure children are safe, cared for, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I love creating a positive and fun environment where kids feel supported and excited to learn. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, and I love learning from children as much as they learn from me. I’m fun, energetic, and love playing with kids. I would be very happy to care for your children and make sure they feel safe, loved, and have a great time every day.

Hi! This is Nurhayat and live in Fairfax in VA. I am a reliable, patient, positive and bilingual 27 year-old with 10+ years experience in child care. I have an international relation degree in my country, Turkiye, and I have been working with kids since high school. I am currently taking care of 3 adorable kids of age 2, 5 and 6.5. Due to their grandmother moving in with them in two months, I am looking for a new opportunity! I am a planner and a multitasker, it gives me a lot of joy being around kiddos and see and help them learn, grow, explore and enjoy every moment! I do think one of the most important things that comes with caring for children, is to provide a safe and stable environment, while keepings things fun and enjoyable for them, and making sure that they are feeling heard and cared for. I am also willing to do additional tasks. I do have references that I will be more than happy to provide. Also I Have a car and work permit.
