Rachel was excellent with our 8-month old daughter. We contacted her last-minute after our Nanny had called out for the whole week with short notice, and Rachel was able to cover the whole week. Our daughter is going through a major stranger-danger phase, so there was a lot of crying in the beginning. Rachel was great at staying calm and gently forming a bond and trust with our baby. By the end of the week, our daughter was beaming every time Rachel walked in the door. We definitely hope to use her services again in the future!

Emy K., Nanny in Herndon, VA 20171 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!

Marah B., Nanny in Herndon, VA 20171 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.

Montserrath is such a breath of fresh air. I wish we could have her as a full-time sitter, but unfortunately her availability doesn’t allow for that. She is a lovely, kind, and patient person, and an excellent sitter. You’ll be lucky to have her babysit for you. I will definitely hire her again. Thank you!

Everyone has a gift; mine is working with children. It is a God-given gift. Children are drawn to me and I am drawn to them. I treat children as if they are my own--loving them, protecting them, teaching them old fashioned values like honesty, integrity, hard work, manners, thankfulness, giving, etc. I love children that I keep and they love me back. I have a lifetime of experience and excellent references. You and your children will not be disappointed with me. I am active, fun, play all sports, love games, baking, crafts, reading, using your imagination; whatever your child enjoys doing, I will too.

Kathy is an amazing person that I recommend highly. She is very warm and set my heart at ease the minute she walked in the door. She adhered to my homes rules and took care of my son as if it was her own. She brought a bit of whimsical magic into the house which I thought could only be found in a Disney film. Also she was on time and kept things in order. Glad to have found someone like her.

I enjoy being with children, they are my little friends. I love reading, coloring, singing, dancing, listening music and getting the fresh air with them outside. We can be silly and loud and we can be quite and listen the wind.

I am a Registered Nurse with more than six years of Pediatric Nursing experience, 8 years of home-based newborn care and nanny experience, and one year of teaching experience with children ages 2-12. **Availability Update: I am available from mid-October to late November 2026 for daytime or evening babysitting, temporary nanny positions, and overnight newborn care. As a baby nurse and nanny, I am focused, thoughtful, intuitive, and empathetic. My standard is the highest English Nanny standard of care - I want to be "the next best thing to a Norland Nanny." In the early months, I focus on helping the baby to establish good eating and sleeping habits. I use a gentle baby-centered approach for both of these important patterns. I am happy to begin working with your family as a Baby Nurse and then transition to a Nanny role as your baby gets older! As a babysitter, I am focused, attentive, and fun! I get down on the floor and play with babies and younger children. For older ones I love doing crafts and am happy to help with homework. Then once they are asleep I am happy to do their laundry or tackle a cleaning project! My qualifications include a current active RN license in Virginia, advanced Newborn Care Specialist training and newborn experience, excellent experience with infants and toddlers, CPR/First Aid certified, background check, updated immunizations, non-smoker, fluent in English and conversant in French. I love dogs but am allergic to cats. I have many excellent childcare references available upon request! Please also see my Nanny Profile, and let me know if you have questions! I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Allison
