Find experienced babysitters in Merrifield, VA

Hi, I’m Phoebe! If there’s one thing everyone knows about me, it’s my deep love for children and my dedication to helping them grow into confident, independent, and joyful individuals. I believe that truly exceptional child care starts with creating a space where every child feels safe, seen, and free to be themselves. From there, I focus on guiding them toward independence, encouraging their unique personalities, and supporting their growth with warmth, patience, and purpose.I bring years of hands-on experience both as a trusted nanny for families and as an early childhood educator at Bright Horizons. In these roles, I have supported everything from daily home routines and household maintenance to curriculum planning, potty training, and early speech development. Through my position at Bright Horizons, I completed rigorous training in child safety, brain development, curriculum design, and early education. This has given me a strong foundation not only in caregiving but also in nurturing each child's growth with intention and care. Whether I am working one-on-one in a home or supporting a group in a classroom, my focus is always the same: creating a safe, nurturing space where children feel confident to be themselves while developing independence and essential life skills.

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 switched careers from Administration to Childcare starting at the end of 2013. I have experience working with live-in and live-out families (infant-teen). I finally realize I'm doing what I love and will open a home daycare in the future.

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!
