Sittercity helps Stephens City families find the best child care providers

I've been a stay-at-home mom for about 30 years. In that time, I've raised my four children and two step-children, as well as two of my grandchildren. When my kids were younger, I provided childcare in my own home. I cared for most of these children for several years, including triplets for over two years from ages 4-6, two infants from a few weeks old to preschool age, and other infants and toddlers for shorter time periods. I also worked for a few years with elementary age students as a part-time cafeteria hostess in my child's school. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to provide some transportation. I love kids and I am young enough to still have fun with them! If you are looking for a strict, by-the-book nanny then I'm not the one for you. However, If you're looking for someone to genuinely care for your kids, then I can be what you're looking for.

With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through school age, I am a dedicated and nurturing nanny who truly loves what I do. My journey in childcare has been lifelong, and throughout the years I have had the privilege of supporting children at every stage of development—including those with special needs. Caring for children is more than just a job to me; it’s a calling. I believe in fostering a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel secure, valued, and free to be themselves. Nurturing young minds and watching them grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. From bottle feedings and diaper changes to homework help and emotional support, I bring patience, warmth, and a deep understanding of child development into every family I work with. My goal is to support not just the children, but the whole family, creating a partnership that encourages trust, consistency, and joy. Whether I’m comforting a newborn, encouraging a toddler’s curiosity, or guiding a school-aged child through challenges, I approach each day with care, commitment, and a genuine love for the children I serve.

I enjoy working with children, and have spent 16 years in home or childcare settings. In that amount of time I have worked with a range of children from infant to school age. My experience come with my developmental knowledge of children and the interaction and bond I build with children. When it comes to the nanny setting I worked 2 years with a set of 9 months triplets up until they were 2 and half before moving to the northern Virginia area. I then took a job in a private childcare setting in McLean working with 2-3 year olds for the last 6 years. I have MAT training, and CPR and first aide certification and hold my Child development associate.

With 15 years of experience in child care, l'm all about having fun while helping kids learn and grow. I love getting creative with activities, whether crafting, playing games, or tackling school projects. When I'm not caring for kids, l am a teacher. I'm excited to combine my love for kids and creativity in a part-time nanny role, making sure your little ones have a great time while learning and exploring.

Greetings Parents and Guardians, If you’re reading this, it means you are looking for a: trustworthy, experienced, caring, fun-loving, and safe babysitter for your most precious part of your life-your child(ren). I started babysitting when I was 10 and just kept going. I babysat all through college and even during my career as a teacher. I have worked with children in three ways: babysitting, tutoring, and being an elementary school teacher and media specialist. I even taught at the graduate school level which was very interesting and entertaining as the adults complained more about homework than my fifth graders! I enjoy children and I respect their idiosyncrasies and personalities. With this in mind, I have experience with children who are gifted and talented and as well as those who are on the autism spectrum. Not every babysitter has that experience nor is comfortable with children on the spectrum or gifted. I enjoy doing crafts and especially baking with the children I babysit. My pizza parties are very popular! It’s important we have fun together but also learn life skills in the process. I adore reading to children and believe that reading should bookend our day together. Additionally, if you have pets—that’s wonderful! I adore cats and dogs and find their presence in a family so warm and fun. Certainly, my bio has you excited to book and meet me! I can’t wait to meet your children! So contact me to schedule a meeting with you and your family. I look forward to adding your child(ren) to my babysitting schedule.

Hello! My name is Jo Anne. I'm a nanny who has been an educator, home schooler, and creative arts Sunday School teacher with a Bachelor Degree. I enjoy doing educational projects with children according to their developmental level, especially child-led interest projects such as with science experiments, sports, and crafts. I believe that reading to and with children is an important part of every day. It is fun to involve my charges in community events such as library story time and activities, parks, even play dates, if that is the parent's desire. My experience babysitting, teaching, and working with children spans over 40 years. (As 4th of 11 children in my family of origin, I began child care early in life :) ) Thank you for taking the time to peruse my introduction! My CPR certification is current. Thank you, Jo Anne
