Find experienced child care providers in West Springfield, VA

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!

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!
