My name is Dina. I am skilled in providing a safe and nurturing environment while fostering children’s emotional and intellectual development. Age appropriate activities, homework help, and meal preparation also my top priority while providing my services. I have clean background checked while offering support for parents. I have my bachelor degree in Linguistic. Currently I work part time as a substitute teacher for public school. I love to support classes with multiple background and different needs since I believe it gives me opportunity to become more skilled and experienced.

Dina is a very warm and pleasant person. My son had a bit of separation anxiety initially, but was happy to see me go in about 5 minutes. I would recommend her to anyone that will appreciate her! :)

Marah B., Child Care in Dumfries, VA 22026 with 20 years of paid experience

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!

Hailey L., Child Care in Dumfries, VA 22026 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I’m a dependable and caring nanny with experience working with children of different ages, including toddlers and young children. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported. I have hands-on experience with daily routines, preparing snacks/meals, playtime activities, learning activities, helping with transitions, and providing attentive care. I’m patient, responsible, and understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their children. I love encouraging creativity, independence, and positive behavior while making sure children feel valued and cared for. I’m looking forward to connecting with a family who is looking for someone reliable, kind, and genuinely passionate about childcare! I am CPR and first aid certified and am willing to help out with any housework needs! I’m happy to complete a background check when I’m able to, but I’m currently saving and budgeting carefully. I completely understand how important safety and trust are when choosing childcare, and I’m happy to provide references and share my childcare experience in the meantime.

I’ve had the privilege of watching my daughter, Hailey, grow into the amazing caregiver she is today. As a single mom working in childcare, I often brought her with me to work, where she naturally jumped in to help care for the children I babysat. Even at a young age, she was patient, kind, responsible, and genuinely loved spending time with kids. As she got older, she followed in my footsteps by working in a daycare center and taking on babysitting jobs, gaining valuable experience with children of all ages. Most recently, she became a nanny, where she continues to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care every day. Hailey is someone you can trust completely. She is nurturing, reliable, creative, and always puts the needs and safety of the children first. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their little ones. I recommend her without hesitation!

Ms. Candice is a sweetheart! She is responsive, understanding, punctual, and respectful of the home. She assisted my little one with her homework, played with her, straightened up the play area, and did the night time routine. I appreciate her and will continue using her as a sitter.

Hi! My name is Mathew, and I have over 20 years working with children. This includes babysitting, being both a preschool and elementary school teacher, traveling with families, and being a nanny, for infants on up. I have a Masters in Social Work, which has allowed me provide therapy with children and their families, including being trained in infant mental health.

I enjoy being in the water, and am comfortable supervising children in and around water.  I hold current CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications.

I’ve been baby sitting/nannying for over 5 years: before that I was taking care of my nieces and nephews. I am very comfortable taking care of children of all ages. I make sure to create a fun, positive, and safe environment. I make sure every kid I am tending to is well looked after, constantly learning and staying active. I always want the kids and their parents to have full trust in me, and know that I will put their kids needs first.
