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!

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Valeska, and caring for children has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I first came to the United States as an au pair many years ago, where I had the privilege of caring for children of all ages. Since then, I’ve become a mother myself, which has given me an even deeper understanding of what families need and what children need to thrive. I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your children. I strive to be that dependable, caring person who creates a safe, happy, and nurturing environment while keeping kids engaged, active, and having fun. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. Whether we’re going to the park, library, zoo, playground, pool, riding bikes, doing arts and crafts, reading books, playing games, or simply exploring their interests, I love encouraging curiosity, creativity, and confidence. I also believe in helping children develop independence through age-appropriate responsibilities, kindness, and respect. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help families with children’s meals, homework, transportation to activities, organizing playdates, light housekeeping related to the children, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. Communication with parents is very important to me, and I always want you to feel informed and confident that your children are in good hands. As a mom, I understand that every family is different. I take the time to learn each child’s personality, routines, and needs so they feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. My goal is not simply to supervise children, but to become a positive, reliable presence in their lives and a trusted support for their parents. If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, dependable, loving, and truly enjoys helping children grow, I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family. I look forward to hearing about your children and discussing how I can help make your family’s daily life a little easier. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to meet you soon!

Valeska is a great babysitter! She is very interactive with my child! Taking her on walks, playing with her and giving her lots of love! She really focuses on your little one, and never seems distracted. I trust her completely with my daughter!! Not only is she great with the baby, but she also helps me around the house. Making food, doing the dishes, and helping with a little office work. She truly is a dream to have! We love you, V!

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.

I am a mother of two teenage boys, so have been parenting for about 15 years. Prior to becoming a mother, I was a nanny for many years while in college and graduate school and a babysitter while in middle and high school. I have CPR and 1St Aid Certifications and am highly experienced with dealing with any issues that may arise while caring for infants, young children, tweens and teens. I love supporting kids to play and learn from experiences (games, crafts, sports) but am also ready to support homework and school assignments. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and happy to feed them or take them for walks. I take family rules seriously and will work with the children to make sure that tasks and chores are completed when required.

My kids loved Jennifer and ask for her to come back often! She not only was wonderful with the children, playing games througout the day, taking them on field trips and reading them stories. She also organized the kids bedroom without being asked! If I could give 10 stars I would!

I have extensive experience with children, and am seeking a part-time nanny position, or babysit as needed. Newborn to teen. College graduate from GW and Virginia Tech. U.S. citizen. I'm known for my patient, calm, creative, and friendly approach. I'm fun and adapt to your child, in terms of what they want to engage in. I'm also a Mom, which provides you Added-Value. In an emergency, I can handle it - your child will be safe with me!! I'm very good at picking up on any telltale signs that a parent should be aware of. Teach kids manners. I don't spend time on cell/TV. Kids minimal time on electronics, as you like. Your kitchen will be cleaner than you left it. Wash clothes. I’ve been a nanny for four children, including twins whom I took care of from newborn to age 3. Excellent driver. Brand new car. I’m comfortable with pets. Completed CPR. Don’t smoke. I have a lot of experience with food allergies, especially about gluten intolerance. I worked as a Child Advocate for 10 years. I also co-founded two non-profit organizations for children and teens, a social club & a foundation; see fsyf.org I grew up in Europe, where my Dad worked at the US Embassies. I’m eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your child’s life.

I am a senior at American University majoring in Data Science with a minor in Computer Science. I am currently based in Bethesda, finishing my last semester at AU this fall, and I am looking for part-time babysitting or nannying work. I have 10 years of babysitting experience. I have babysat for over 20 families in Nashville, New York City, and Washington, DC. I have babysat for single families with 2-3 children aged between 3 months to 9 years old, and I have done formal, weekly childcare for churches where I supervised groups of kids aged 1-year-old to 12 years. Typically, my tasks included picking up and dropping off from school and after-school activities, aiding the elementary school-aged children with homework, entertaining the kids, changing diapers, cooking nourishing meals, and encouraging good behaviors using positive reinforcement. In single-family settings, I can also provide light housekeeping work such as cleaning and doing laundry. Outside of school and babysitting, I love reading, spending time with my puppy Mila, and writing songs. I have self-released two albums and have toured nationally with several bands. I am able to provide guitar and bass lessons for beginner to intermediate players. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you, and I am happy to provide references from my previous clients.
