Margaret M., Babysitter in South Riding, VA 20152 with 15 years of paid experience

As a former stay-at-home mom of 3 adult children, 2 sons and 1 daughter, I have had on-the-job training with all age groups from newborns to college graduates! My children attended an independent, private school where I was an active volunteer throughout and a substitute teacher in the lower and middle schools for 7 years. People who know me consider me to be a warm, loving, honest, trustworthy and responsible individual. I am a mature woman who is college educated, health conscious, physically fit, neat and clean and a non-smoker. I have recent full-time newborn care experience and hope to be placed as a Nanny, for your little one(s), in your child-proofed home. As they grow, I will give them lots of TLC and interact with them in age appropriate activities. I also know how to cook, clean, do laundry and iron - and I am good! - so I can help you with all of that, as well!! Further, I’m Red Cross Certified in Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED. I look forward to hearing from you real soon! NOTE: My home-base is Conneaut Lake, PA.

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!

Andrew watched our 4-year-old and 18-month-old boys, and he was absolutely fantastic. He arrived prepared with crafts, toys, board games, and plenty of creative activities to keep them engaged and entertained. He has a calm, positive demeanor, and both of our boys connected with him right away. Andrew is incredibly patient, attentive, and reliable, and he followed all of our instructions carefully, especially when it came to their bedtime routine. We felt completely at ease knowing our children were in his care. We highly recommend Andrew and would gladly hire him again.

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!

Amber was very punctual, which was important to us with our early morning schedules. She was gentle with the kids and a great communicator.

We have been working with Sue as our go-to babysitter for our 3-year-old son frequently for several years now. Sue has been a fantastic caregiver and is always so sweet, gentle, and kind. Our son sometimes has some separation anxiety when my wife and I leave, and Sue is always so wonderful about helping calm him down and reassure him. He always talks about how much fun they had while we're away, and Sue has even brought new books and toys to show him when she comes to brighten his day. Sue has a true gift for caring for little ones, and we could not recommend her more highly!

Beatrice E., Babysitter in South Riding, VA 20152 with 9 years of paid experience

I am a former Montessori preschool teacher (certified through AMS with 7 years of experience). Currently I am a stay at home mom with a 6 year old son and a 19 month old baby boy. I would like to babysit for a family who is okay with one or both kids being present. Both my kids are very friendly and sociable. My Montessori experience has equipped me to support the development of social skills in group settings. This is a potential benefit to my coming with my own kids when babysitting. I am looking for a school year babysitting position. My older son attends a forest school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9-3 in Annandale. I’m looking for babysitting hours during this time. I would have only my 19 month old with me.

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Beatrice. We had her nanny our 2 yo son for about 2 months before the pandemic hit. She then sadly moved away, and we were unable to have her nanny anymore. She is well trained in Montessori and early childhood learning, and she brings her son along while nannying. She is smart and sensitive to the children's needs and really fostered great interaction between her and my son. They really became great friends in such a short amount of time, and I felt that my son learned a lot of wonderful lessons from their interaction. If you have the chance to incorporate her into your childcare -do so. She is really very talented and professional. I just wish we had her with us longer!
