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!

We love working with Vanya! She has been helping us out for several months with our two girls (ages 1 and 3). Vanya is reliable and our girls love spending time with her. She's always on time and a great communicator. Vanya is super easy to work with and is very patient with our girls.

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.

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!

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!

Hello! My name is Rhonda, and I am a Virginia native with a genuine passion for caring for children and supporting families. As the oldest of six girls, nurturing others has always been a natural part of who I am. After transitioning from a career in finance, I followed my heart into childcare, and it has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. For more than 16 years, I have had the privilege of caring for children of all ages—from newborns and infants to school-aged children—including those with special needs. Throughout my career, I have worked with private families and nanny agencies as a Professional Nanny, Household Manager, ROTA Nanny, Night Nanny, and in the role of a Newborn Care Specialist, building lasting relationships founded on trust, reliability, discretion, flexibility, and compassionate care. What I value most about being a nanny is the opportunity to build meaningful, lasting connections with the children and families I serve. Whether working in a traditional nanny role, providing overnight newborn care, or supporting families on a ROTA schedule, I strive to provide consistency, stability, and seamless care that allows children to thrive. While safety is always my highest priority, I believe children flourish when they feel loved, understood, encouraged, and supported. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, confident, and free to explore the world around them. My caregiving style is Montessori-inspired, encouraging independence, self-confidence, hands-on learning, and age-appropriate exploration. I enjoy creating engaging learning experiences through everyday activities while supporting each child’s natural curiosity, emotional well-being, and developmental milestones. Compassion and service have always been deeply rooted in my family. My parents dedicated more than 45 years to caregiving, teaching my siblings and me the importance of kindness, patience, integrity, and treating every person with dignity and respect. Those values continue to guide the care I provide every day. When I’m not caring for children, I enjoy spending quality time with my three granddaughters, reading, walking, dancing, volunteering in my community. A long-term position with a wonderful family where we can build a strong partnership based on trust, open communication, and mutual respect is my desire.

Ms. Rhonda has been an incredible support to our family. Her help with overnight care allowed me to get the rest I needed so I could show up as the best mom possible for my child. She is caring, attentive, and truly thoughtful in the way she provides care. Knowing my baby was in such capable and compassionate hands gave me complete peace of mind. I am deeply grateful for her and highly recommend 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.
