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!

Potential Families: Thank you so much for stopping by my profile. My name is Elizabeth. I just completed my ninth year as a paraprofessional in an elementary school and am currently a substitute teacher with the nearby county. I have experience supporting students/children with a variety of special needs (Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Learning/Multiple Disabilities and Behavioral). I am also a former preschool teacher; I have worked with children infant-12 years of age for many years and have been a tutor for at risk adolescents at Job Corps. I currently have my Associate of Arts Degree in General Studies with a career studies cert in Early Childhood Development. I am upon completion of my Bachelor’s degree and have a goal of pursuing my Master’s degree soon after. I enjoy making connections with children and families. I believe communication, trust and honesty are very important. When I am taking care of children I enjoy interacting with them by coloring, reading, arts and crafts, playing sports or board games but in all honesty, I am not a skillful Uno player! :) In my spare time I enjoy cooking, baking, traveling, spending time with my 3 nieces and nephew, working in the yard and reading. If you would like more information, or have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I am available: M, T and Th: 7:30-12:30, and then again from 2:30-6:30. W and F-7:30-4:30 I would also be available for occasional date nights (weekday evenings and or weekends).

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, 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.

Hello, My name is Davia Ford and I am 25 years old. Currently I am a professional ballet dancer with Roanoke Ballet Theatre. I have been nannying/babysitting as a paid position for about 7 years and I am experienced in caring for a variety of children from infants to twelve years. I love caring for children and I am gentle and patient but can be stern when needed. Many of my tasks from past jobs include but are not limited to school pickups, transporting to activities, helping with school/home work, cooking meals, snack prep, light cleaning, bathing, playing with the kids, light discipline, conflict resolution, etc. I am very comfortable caring for multiple children at a time. My most recent job is for a family with 2 kids aged 6 and 8 with one of them being a child with special needs. I hope that you will consider me as your child's caretaker.

Hi everyone! My name is Jenny and I currently reside in Fairfax. In my years of experience, I've worked with kids ranging from 1 to 12 years old.

Many thanks!

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’m the proud mother of 3 girls who are now 21 twins and 17. I am interested in working with younger children again. My twins have cerebral palsy so I became a very involved stay at home mom. I loved teaching and playing with my children as they grew up.

I love being a sitter because it allows me to make a positive impact on families by providing safe, engaging, and nurturing care for children. I have experience as a sitter for multiple families, caring for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. Additionally, my role as a Taekwondo instructor has strengthened my skills in communication, patience, and behavior management with children of various ages. I am certified in CPR and basic first aid, ensuring I can respond to emergencies effectively. My background in customer service as a bubble tea barista has further developed my multitasking, problem-solving, and communication skills, all of which are essential in childcare settings.
