Carisa watched our daughter Grace for close to 3 months and we are so grateful to have found her. She is a wonderful person with a lot of experience with all ages (infant-elementary), with a niche in newborn and infant care. We needed coverage for a temporary period that we were not able to provide care for Grace and had interviewed some people for this assignment - Carisa stood out as the most reliable and trustworthy of everyone we spoke with: she openly provided references, she was transparent throughout the whole interview process and was very flexible in meeting with us beforehand and getting to know Grace prior to officially starting with us. This was an early cue about her integrity and quality of character. Once she began, it was apparent she had a unique ability to hone her skillset to both Grace's needs and our wishes and goals for Grace's growth and care. When Carisa started with us, Grace was not really on a set schedule and we were only able to get Grace to successfully fall and stay asleep in her swing or in the bassinet in our bedroom. Within her first week of starting with Grace, Carisa was able to get her on a schedule and taking naps in devoted sleeping areas in our living room as well as Grace's nursery. We also struggled during Grace's first weeks of life to take a bottle smoothly (she had some latch issues and a possible small tongue tie) and were nervous about having someone else feed Grace, but Carisa was able to get Grace to have big feeds with a great latch on the bottle. This took a load of stress of our shoulders! But most importantly, we are grateful for the genuine love Carisa gave Grace, which showed in how quickly Grace took to Carisa. Towards the end of our time with Carisa we really started to feel like she was our family. We will miss Carisa dearly and hope we will be able to work with her again - she is a special one!

Hello, My name is Davia Ford and I am 25 years old. Currently I am a professional ballet dancer with Roanoke Ballet Theatre. I have been nannying/babysitting as a paid position for about 7 years and I am experienced in caring for a variety of children from infants to twelve years. I love caring for children and I am gentle and patient but can be stern when needed. Many of my tasks from past jobs include but are not limited to school pickups, transporting to activities, helping with school/home work, cooking meals, snack prep, light cleaning, bathing, playing with the kids, light discipline, conflict resolution, etc. I am very comfortable caring for multiple children at a time. My most recent job is for a family with 2 kids aged 6 and 8 with one of them being a child with special needs. I hope that you will consider me as your child's caretaker.

Anita was incredible and far exceeded our expectations. She had everything my wife and I were praying for in a nanny. She was caring, respectful, timely, kind, and more. Our son fell in love with her, as did we. Because of her, he developed a range of new skills, including new words. We recommend Anita to any family that needs a kind, genuine, punctual and respectful person caring for their little one.

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!

Clifford did a wonderful job with my infant son. My mom, who is a retired nurse, was around to observe and said he did the best job out of multiple sitters we have had. Punctual, responsive, sweet and completely reliable.

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!

Maria has been our children's nanny for 4.5 years and has been an incredible addition to our family. We have appreciated the nurturing guidance she has offered to our children and the genuine, heartfelt, warm, and affectionate care she provides every day. She will be dearly missed. We strongly recommend Maria for a nanny position and would be happy to provide a reference on her behalf if you have any questions.

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.

Hello! I am a student at Northern Virginia Community College pursuing a nursing track. My hopes are to later become a nurse midwife. Before Covid-19, I was a preschool teacher but I am currently looking to provide more individualized work. My experience ranges from daycare, gym child watch, individual babysitting, and summer camps. With that being said, I'm able to provide many references! I am infant/child first-aid and CPR certified. In addition, I am a birth and postpartum Doula who can help with overnights . I'd love to be able to work with families looking for a last-minute baby sitter or a date-night sitter. I'm also available to do school pick-ups and drop-offs! ! I love planning activities with the kids such as cookie decorating, movie nights, sensory play etc. I'm flexible with rates and take into consideration the needs of each family. My goal is to insure that children actually have fun while the parents are away. I look forward to working with children of all ages and backgrounds!
