Find experienced child care providers in Strasburg, VA

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, I went to college for business communication and graduated with my associates degree in 2010.

I love working with and watching children grow! I have excellent references and open availability! I thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you and your family soon!

My name is Elizabeth and I come from a family of 9. Over the years I have done a lot of babysitting and hanging out with kids, and I love being around them. Nurturing young minds brings me immense joy. My passion for childcare stems from positive experiences babysitting and a deep desire to foster growth in children. With two years of experience, I provide attentive care to one child at a time. I am patient, calm, and dedicated to creating a positive environment. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and always follow parents' preferred communication methods. I am also happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I am certified in CPR Training. Ultimately, I hope to provide your family with reliable care and build a strong connection with your child, creating memories we'll both cherish.

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.

I am cheerful, fun loving, creative and absolutely adore working with children. I come from a large family and, on top of that, have been nannying for ages newborn-17years for the past seven years. I am a firm believer that honesty is always the best policy and like to be crystal clear with parents about how their child is doing and what they are doing. I have experience in homeschooling as well as teaching, so assisting with homework is not new to me and I am also more than happy to help with basic household chores such as dishes, laundry, meal prep etc. I have both a license and a car. I also have CPR training and knowledge of basic first aid. I am happy to provide references as well as do a background check if you would like! Thank you so much for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.

When I was a little girl, my mother provided childcare for five toddlers and an infant. That meant I was still a child myself when I had my very first experience helping to care for little ones. By the age of 14, I obtained a worker’s permit and began assisting at the local YMCA’s before- and after-school daycare program. For me, there has been nothing more profoundly rewarding than helping children explore the world around them — a privilege I’ve enjoyed off and on for the past 30 years. Over the years, I’ve worked with children in both school and private settings. While I sincerely valued my time in schools for the opportunity to support children from all walks of life, my greatest joy has always been in private care. It allows me the freedom to provide the loving, individualized, and fully attentive care that every child deserves.

Hello! I am currently a stay at home mom of one girl. I currently sit in my home and we have lots of toys and games to play with. I love doing fun activities with the kids I watch as well as taking them to the park when the weather permits. I have some professional experience a ways back working as an assistant teacher at Children of America, but nowadays I babysit at home!
