I cannot say enough good things about her. Finding someone you truly trust with your children—especially when you have a mix of needs—is not easy, but she has exceeded every expectation I had. She is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely caring with all of my children. My neurotypical kids absolutely adore her and constantly rave about how much fun they have when she’s around. My daughters especially love her and are always excited when they know she’s coming, and my toddler son is comfortable and happy in her care. What means the most to me, though, is how she shows up for my autistic daughter. She is calm, understanding, and meets her exactly where she is. There is a level of patience and compassion she brings that you simply cannot teach—and it truly shows in how comfortable and happy my daughter is with her. My autistic daughter is genuinely happy when she’s here, and that peace of mind is everything as a parent. She is reliable, communicative, and brings such a positive, warm energy into our home. I feel completely at ease knowing my children are in her care. She doesn’t just “watch” them—she connects with them, supports them, and creates a safe, happy environment. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your children as if they were her own, she is truly a gem.

Ashley H., Babysitter in Smithfield, VA 23430 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! I’m an experienced babysitter with nearly five years of childcare experience. I’ve cared for infants through school-aged children and am confident managing routines, meal prep, light housekeeping, and bedtime. I’m calm under pressure, attentive, speak Spanish, and focused on maintaining a safe, structured, and positive environment for children. I also have experience caring for children with different needs, including ADHD, autism, and nonverbal children. I understand the importance of patience, structure, and clear communication, and I always take the time to learn what works best for each child. Whether that means following specific routines, using visual or nonverbal cues, supporting sensory needs, or helping with focus and emotional regulation, I strive to create a safe, understanding, and supportive environment where every child feels comfortable and valued, and I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I take pride in being dependable and trustworthy for the families I work with.

Keturah B., Babysitter in Smithfield, VA 23430 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello my name is Keturah I am 22 years old! I have experience with kids, including babysitting for friends, family, and coworkers but I am also a daycare teacher of 3 years and I have 16 certificates from Better kid care. I have worked with children in classroom-like settings from when I was in high school as a teachers aide for kindergarten, being a Lead Daycare Teacher, to now being a substitute teacher for all grades. I enjoy it so much seeing them succeed with even the little things like seeing their happiness when they take their first steps to being able to trace their numbers is amazing. I have cared for children as young as 1 month up to 10 years of age. I enjoy encouraging kids to be creative with stimulating activities such as painting, coloring, reading, and exploring outside!

**Highly recommended babysitter** Aleah met our expectations when my wife and I backs were up against the wall. She answered our call on short notice and arrived on time within an 8 hour window, when our daughter's daycare notified us that they were closed for the day. I can't thank Aleah enough for being available and offering such an amazing service when we needed it most. Our daughter took to her immediately and wife is pleased to use her service again. This was our first in-home babysitter and we are happy to say we were happy with our experience. Absolutely 5 star worthy!
