Abbie  H., Nanny in Gainesville, VA 20155 with 12 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Abbie C. I’m currently in nursing school locally and just about done with my degree! I have babysit, house/dog sit for about 7 years now so I have plenty of experience. I have a love and passion for children, which is why I hope to work as a pediatric nurse once I'm done with college. If you're in the need for some time to get things done or simply enjoy some time out, I'm happy to help! Just give me a call or shoot me a text and hopefully we can work something out.

Abbie is awesome. She is an excellent date night sitter and was so helpful with my kids when I needed her to pick them up from daycare and help out until my husband and I were off work. She is super responsible and great with two kids (preschool aged and toddler). I feel so comfortable leaving the kids with her which is what we all want!

Terita L., Nanny in Gainesville, VA 20155 with 8 years of paid experience

I have worked in preschools and with individual families receiving cpr and first aid training and extensive knowledge in child development. In each setting I was able to develop long term relationships with families with children from ages 12wks to 12years. I am strongly focused on making sure children have the best early childhood experiences because these moments really do shape their lives. I have been called a chameleon many times because I am able to use what I have learned and apply it directly to a child's specific needs. It is very important to me that children feel loved, happy, safe and confident in themselves. Through lots of messy crafts, silly songs, fun games and reading your child will grow past your expectations.

Terita was a big help with my kids especially being that I needed her help last minute. My daughter is at the age where she tells it all and she loved Ms. Terita. She will be a great fit if you have busy kids. I will definitely book her again if I ever need a sitter.

Marah B., Nanny in Gainesville, VA 20155 with 20 years of paid experience

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!

I’m the proud mother of 3 girls who are now 21 twins and 17. I am interested in working with younger children again. My twins have cerebral palsy so I became a very involved stay at home mom. I loved teaching and playing with my children as they grew up.

eview We are incredibly grateful to have found Claire to care for our baby daughter. From the very first day, she has been amazing. Her warmth, patience, and genuine love for children are evident in every interaction. Not to mention how trustworthy she is. Our daughter absolutely adores her. Claire also engages her with fun, educational activities that keep her both entertained and learning. She’s also very flexible and communicates wonderfully with us.

Hi! I have 5 siblings, and a pet chinchilla 😊 Moved from Upstate New York to Virginia recently! Cared for children with special needs under AIMS for about 2 years. Volunteered at a Sunday/Friday Private School for the past four years. I can work immediately. Full time, part time; you name it! Available weekdays and weekends, 8 am till overnight if needed. Can be flexible with timings. I am CPR certified. I know how to use an EpiPen. Won’t be able to do pick up/drop off. $35 an hour would be ideal. Open to negotiations!

Emy K., Nanny in Gainesville, VA 20155 with 17 years of paid experience

I am looking for a family with active kids, full of energy, and that is ready to have a great time! Parents that wish their kids could be more active and outdoors are also welcome. :) (I also enjoy indoor activities, though!) I believe as much as kids can stay outside, playing, and distracted, the better, so they don't get bored or start missing their parents. I love to be out with kids, playground, pool, playing sports, riding a bike, chalking, playing tag, hide and seek, and enjoying the nice weather - if possible! Ps: If your kids like to learn new things, and some Portuguese (I'm from Brazil), I will be more than happy to teach them!

Emy was fabulous with our 5yo daughter and 2.5yo son! We used Emy when we traveling in DC for a weekend. She was a recommendation from a mom friend. Before arriving, she asked about their likes and dislikes. When she came, she had library books with their favorite characters and activities prepared that I mentioned they enjoyed. She is also proactive in figuring out how to make my life easier. She offered to take the kids to the park when I needed to pack for our trip back. She sent me pictures of them at the playground, having a picnic, etc. She is a great communicator. I would highly recommend her!

Our family has had a really great experience with Katreya thus far! She's been on time, communicative as well as kind and attentive with our child. It's been lovely to see her establish a connection so quickly with our VERY slow-to-warm-up toddler who loved to be on the move. I appreciate Katreya's initiative in engaging in meaningful interactions, reading, playing and age-appropriate activities. While it's still early, we greatly appreciate her warmth, professionalism and grace in her approach to nannying and we're looking forward to continuing to work with her!

Reina is AMAZING. She is kind. She genuinely cared about our daughter, and our daughter loved her like a second mother--because she was like a second mother. Reina is also very smart and responsible. She read up on childcare, applied what she found, and was great about following any instructions we had. Reina was also incredibly patient, even in the face of toddler chaos and tantrums, which made me feel very safe having her in charge. We were lucky enough to have Reina come for hours several days per week for multiple years, so we worked with her a lot. I'm probably forgetting some other great qualities to mention. But given how intelligent and trustworthy she is, I know that I would highly recommend her for any position. She is a talented, caring, and careful person.

With three years of childcare experience, I’ve cared for children from 10 months to 6 years old. As a part-time college student, I bring energy, patience, and empathy to every babysitting job. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and explore. Families can count on me to be responsible, reliable, and attentive, making sure every child feels happy and cared for.
