Ashley has been watching my daughter for about 6 months now and she is hands down the BEST nanny/sitter we have ever had. She is super cooperative, flexible, and is incredible at keeping up with the constant changes in the toddler phase. She is like family to us and we would recommend her to anyone!

We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie! She watched our 6-year-old while we enjoyed a date night. She arrived on time and asked beforehand if she could bring her son, who is the same age as ours. It worked out perfectly because our son had someone his age to play with and really enjoyed himself. Stephanie was very thoughtful throughout the evening. She even ordered pizza for the kids, and one thing we especially appreciated was that she always checked with us before making any decisions. That gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend Stephanie and would be happy to have her babysit again!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Elizabeth. By far the best child care provider we’ve ever had. She takes care of our 3 with love, compassion, and patience. Her presence is calming in what sometimes feels like total chaos with little ones! And she talks to my kids each with respect, like little people, not babies. No doubt that you will love her.

Eugenie was warm, and communicated well! She made time to meet us beforehand so we could all feel comfortable. My 4 year old son enjoyed his time with her, and he loved when Eugenie read him books in French!

Avery was FANTASTIC! She was incredibly attentive and attuned to our 11 month old daughter. She was also very patient and understanding when our daughter had a difficult day with her naps. Avery has a calming presence and our daughter loved spending her days with her. We hope Avery can help out with our daughter again down the road.

Ann H., Child Care in Free Union, VA 22940 with 2 years of paid experience

I am a local nursing student looking for more part time engagements in the coming summer. The majority of my experience is with toddlers and elementary ages, through many sittings and one long standing nannying position. I am open to pets, light housekeeping, and prefer to drive my car. I am also CPR certified and first aid certified through a red cross childcare agency. I always find myself having fun with kids, and feel that I can provide clear and gentle guidance. I am open to occasional babysitting, but personally am the most fulfilled by nannying for the right family that I can foster a relationship with. Please feel free to message or call for any discussion!
